Technology

If you’re looking for the best dentist for your family in Mequon, consider the advanced technology advantage that makes all the difference in your dental care experience. At Michael Kim DDS and Melissa Lentz DDS, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art dental technology that transforms how we diagnose, treat, and care for your smile. Our cutting-edge equipment ensures more comfortable visits, precise treatments, and better outcomes for every patient.

Modern Diagnostic Technology

Digital X-Rays: Safer and More Precise

Our digital x-ray technology captures detailed images instantly while reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film x-rays. This comprehensive dental care approach allows us to detect problems early, from tiny cavities to bone loss, ensuring you receive timely treatment when it matters most.

Intraoral Camera Technology: See What We See

Understanding your dental health becomes easier when you can see exactly what we’re examining. Our intraoral cameras capture detailed images of hard-to-reach areas in your mouth, displaying them on a chairside monitor. This visual approach helps you make informed decisions about your treatment while building trust through transparency.

Oral Cancer Detection with Trimira Identafi

Early detection saves lives, which is why we’ve incorporated Trimira Identafi technology into our comprehensive examinations. This fluorescence and reflectance visualization system helps identify abnormal tissue that might not be visible during routine oral cancer screenings. The painless, two-minute screening process uses different wavelengths of light to examine your oral tissues. According to the American Dental Association, regular oral cancer screenings are crucial for early detection.

Advanced Treatment Technologies

Prime Scan Digital Impressions: Comfort Meets Accuracy

Say goodbye to messy impression putty that triggers gag reflexes. Our Prime Scan digital impression system creates precise 3D models of your teeth using advanced optical scanning. This advanced treatment approach streamlines the process for crowns, bridges, and other restorative treatments while ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Air Abrasion Dentistry: Gentle Cavity Treatment

For patients who experience anxiety about dental drills, our air abrasion technology offers a quieter, more comfortable alternative for treating small cavities. This minimally invasive technique uses a stream of tiny particles to remove decayed tooth structure without heat, vibration, or pressure. Air abrasion often eliminates the need for local anesthesia, making it ideal for children or patients with dental anxiety.

Arestin: Targeted Antibiotic Therapy

When treating gum disease, precision matters. Arestin is a locally applied antibiotic that we place directly into infected gum pockets after scaling and root planing procedures. This targeted approach delivers medication exactly where it’s needed most, fighting bacteria that cause periodontal disease. The tiny microspheres dissolve slowly over time, providing sustained antibiotic action for up to 21 days. This specialized periodontal treatment significantly improves healing outcomes.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: Professional Results in One Visit

Our professional-grade whitening system delivers dramatic results in just one appointment. Unlike over-the-counter products that can take weeks to show minimal improvement, our in-office treatment safely lightens teeth by several shades in about an hour. We customize the treatment intensity based on your teeth’s current shade and sensitivity level.
