Panorex

We work hard to provide our patients with the most technologically advanced treatment options available. One of the best tools we utilize is the  Panorex system that takes incredible 360 degree images of your teeth, head, sinuses and bones. This xray is about 25% enlarged than the actual size of teeth.  This also provides information about many vital anatomy of the Upper and Lower jaw in one Panoramic Xray. Our Elmhurst, NY area patients are enjoying the benefits from having their Wisdom teeth removed, and are able to know whether they are a candidate of Dental implant in areas of missing teeth. Panoramic xray is good tool in the treament planing of patients .

 

With this technology, we are able to view the full structure of your head. This is great because we are now able to see any potential problems more clearly. We will also be able to see whether or not your mouth and jaw is functioning correctly. The Panorex is capable of viewing specific structural problems, infections and asymmetry any asymmetry in the area. 

 

If you haven’t had a Panorex X-Ray before, you’re going to be surprised how simple and safe it is. We’ll give you a lead apron to protect you from the radiation (digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional systems), but you’ll be standing rather than sitting. A camera will rotate in a half circle around your head, starting at one side of the jaw and ending at the other. The imaging only about 20 seconds and the images are available at the same visit.

Night Guards

Night Guards

At Family Dental Rego Park, we see many patients who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding. While many do this consciously throughout the day, even more grind their teeth at night while sleeping. Bruxism can cause damage to your enamel, jaw pain, headaches and gum irritation, so it is important to treat it. Night guards are the best way to prevent the negative effects of teeth grinding.

 

Similar to those worn by athletes, night guards provide a barrier between your top and bottom teeth when you sleep. By reducing wear to your teeth and making it harder for you to grind, your teeth will be healthier and you will feel better overall. We custom fit these night guards at Family Dental Rego Park to make them as comfortable as possible. If you are a night grinder, we will take an impression of your teeth and have a mouth guard created in our dental lab. These guards are very durable and can last for up to 10 years.

 

If you find yourself frequently waking up with headaches or pain in your jaw, it is very possible that you grind in your sleep. Often those who do not treat their bruxism end up with TMD, and they can even change the appearance of their face. To diagnose and treat your night grinding, call (718) 699-8268 and schedule an appointment.
