At Winter Park Dental, we used advanced, trusted technologies to provide a seamless dental care experience!
Our technologies are safe, efficient, and effective. We use high-tech digital x-rays during each consultation to get a full perspective of your oral health and dental care needs. If we need to get an even more thorough look at your teeth and gums, we may recommend a dental CT scan. During your consultation, Dr. Patel will work with you to determine the best route for treatment.
If you need a restoration for a broken or damaged tooth, Dr. Patel may recommend a crown or veneer. We use CEREC® technology to craft the quality porcelain materials needed for dental crowns and more. Same-day dentistry allows us to combine precision with convenience, eliminating the need to schedule a follow-up appointment!
DEKA SmartXide UltraSpeed2
At Winter Park Dental, Dr. Patel uses the DEKA SmartXide UltraSpeed2, an advanced CO2 laser, to support many of our soft tissue procedures and dental implant treatments with greater precision and comfort.
The CO2 laser emits a specific wavelength of light that's readily absorbed by water within soft tissue. This allows the laser to vaporize targeted tissue with a high degree of accuracy while simultaneously sealing small blood vessels along the treatment area. The result is a controlled, focused treatment that minimizes trauma to the surrounding tissue.
This precision translates into real benefits for our patients, including:
- Less bleeding and reduced swelling
- A smoother, faster recovery than traditional methods
- Little to no need for anesthesia
- Fewer stitches, since the laser helps naturally close the treatment area as it goes
We use this technology to support a range of soft tissue needs, including:
- Gum reshaping and contouring: to correct uneven gum lines or improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile
- Frenectomies: o release restrictive tissue (like a tongue or lip tie) with minimal discomfort
- Treatment around sensitive or hard-to-reach areas: For precise, controlled care where accuracy matters most
- Soft tissue care around dental implants: To prepare gum tissue before placement and support clean healing afterward
Because CO2 laser energy is reflected by titanium rather than absorbed, it's considered safe to use near dental implants, making it a valuable tool for patients preparing for or recovering from implant placement.
By combining the DEKA SmartXide UltraSpeed2 with his clinical expertise, Dr. Patel offers patients a gentler, more predictable alternative to conventional soft tissue treatment, with outcomes that support both healing and long-term results.
