advanced Technology is our specialty
Our dental care approach goes far beyond the teeth – we’re focused on the whole person! Our dental team always takes the time to get to know you, understanding your unique dental needs and helping you achieve lasting, beautiful improvements that benefit the entire body.
Advanced Technologies We Offer
If you’ve ever had a dental crown or oral appliance made, you likely have had to endure getting putty impressions. This tedious process not only takes a significant amount of time, but also often involves discomfort for the patient, who must sit absolutely still. Otherwise, the impressions could be faulty, leading to a bad mold and ill-fitting restoration or appliance. With our iTero 5 machine, we can digitally scan the inside of your mouth and have a perfectly precise mold within minutes! No goop and no discomfort—just accurate data to help you smile.
Intraoral cameras are highly valuable educational tools that Dr. Kiani and her team members regularly utilize during examinations. The camera will capture high-resolution images of the inside of your mouth and transfer them to a monitor in the operatory for easy access. This allows us to refer to them when discussing important findings and possible treatment options for added clarity. Additionally, they can help our doctors diagnose and pinpoint dental concerns that may have been missed by the naked eye at first glance.
Dental fear and anxiety are sadly common among people of all ages, and the most extreme cases can result in skipped appointments and gradually worsening oral health. Here in Falls Church, our team is committed to maintaining a spa-like environment where comfort and relaxation are always top priorities. When needed, sedation dentistry can be provided as an additional calming agent that helps the treatment process proceed smoothly. Oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) are available upon request.
Digital X-Rays
At Purple Plum Dentistry, the days of traditional film X-rays have been left safely in the past. We’re happy to now use digital radiography for a much-improved patient experience! Now, comprehensively detailed X-rays can be captured and made available for viewing within mere seconds – no time-consuming darkrooms required. If you and your family are concerned about radiation exposure, rest assured that this technology minimizes it to a negligible amount as well for your safety.
