Gum disease has been linked to a variety of health complications, including heart disease and low birth-weight babies. Until now, the majority of the treatment options available were invasive and painful. Laser dentistry is minimally invasive and does not require the cutting or stitching of the gums!

Modern Medical Technology – Mt. Pleasant, SC – Smiles by Hogan

LANAP® laser gum therapy gives us the ability to possibly save loose teeth that would have needed to be removed otherwise. These revolutionary lasers allow us to effectively remove bacteria.

DIAGNOdent is a revolutionary way to detect and find cavities. DIAGNOdent uses a laser diode to inspect the patient’s teeth. The light-emitting device is shined on the teeth and then gives a digital readout the dentist can detect decay. The DIAGNOdent laser can identify the tiniest bit of tooth decay before it becomes a major problem. Detecting decay early means that fillings can be shallower and more straightforward, and more of the tooth structure can be preserved. And, because DIAGNOdent uses only light energy, not x-rays, it’s safe to use at each office visit.

This unit delivers controlled, periodic, bilateral electrical stimulation to help provide muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, and increased range of motion.

Piezo Scalers allow us to perform better cleaning with less tissue trauma. They are very efficient and excellent for stain removal.

A state-of-the-art machine is used to spot-check or continually monitor oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart rate. Neuromuscular Diagnostic Techniques
We employ sophisticated, state of the art diagnostic techniques to treat neuromuscular issues.

Digital x-rays allow Our doctors to provide an even more accurate and usually earlier diagnosis than conventional x-ray film has been able to offer in the past. Using a digital sensor allows us to instantly project the image on a computer screen and enhance the image. It also allows you to be a part of your diagnosis and see clearly what treatment is needed and why. Another benefit of digital x-rays is that the amount of radiation you are exposed to is reduced by 90 percent.

Intraoral cameras are not much bigger than a pen and are equipped with a camera and a light. Our doctors can take a close-up picture of your teeth and gums in any area of your mouth, even the very back and hard-to-see places. The picture (or video feed) is instantly up on a screen for you and our doctors to see. Many patients have a hard time understanding why they might need treatment on a tooth that does not hurt or cannot see correctly. Hard to read x-rays, or a long description by the dentist does not usually help either. Intraoral cameras allow you and Our doctors to clearly see your dental issue and help you understand why you need treatment.

Smiles by Hogan proudly uses the Vatech PaX-i3D imaging system, to provide premium diagnostic images with an ultra-low x-ray dose. The Green CBCT can capture high-quality images in less than 6 seconds, and with little radiation exposure. This system allows us to see detailed images of your facial structure to better diagnose and treat complex dental cases, through a safe and comfortable process.

Smiles by Hogan also uses the iTero® Digital Impression System, which digitally captures the structure of the teeth with a radiation-free laser, rendering a 3d impression of your teeth in minutes.
