Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problems may go undetected.
• X-rays
  Digital radiography ( Digital X-ray) is the latest technology used by our Pittsburgh dental practice to take dental X-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged, helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Our office treatments and equipment include such modern technologies as Velscope oral cancer screenings, intraoral cameras, digital x-rays, and extremely precise computer guided dental implant surgery. Dr. Pawlowicz has also received training in a unique and specialized approach to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder known as Neuromuscular TMJ treatment.

• Crowns
  When both the tooth and root are damaged, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown. This solution both looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
• Bridges
  After the initial examination, you can expect 4-5 additional visits until the final fixed bridge is permanently attached. It is normal to experience some minor bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissue afterwards. Any discomfort is usually treated with an ordinary painkiller. You should expect to be able to work the next day.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.

  Laser surgery provides a new method of treatment that may offer you several post-operative advantages, whether the problem is a labial frenulum (tongue-attached) or complaint such as painful apthous ulcers.
