Intraoral Camera

During your visit, our dentists may use an intraoral camera to examine your smile. This allows our team to see parts of your smile that may be difficult to see in a visual exam. Call Alpha Dental Excellence today at (215) 515-2393 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Arpan Patel and our highly-trained dental experts and learn more about intraoral cameras in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.
An intraoral camera is a tool we use to get a closer look at different parts of your smile. The intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that we can use to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums, as well as other areas of your mouth, as needed. Because the intraoral camera is so small and easily maneuverable, we can use it to see angles in your mouth that we cannot easily view with the unaided eye. We may utilize the intraoral camera to better evaluate your oral health and diagnose dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as tooth damage like a cracked or chipped tooth. The intraoral camera is also useful in following up after a treatment has been completed.

In addition to helping our team get a better view of your smile, the images taken with the intraoral camera allow you, our patient, to gain a better understanding of your oral health and dental treatments. We can also send these photos to other dentists and specialists and can submit them to dental insurance companies as needed. To learn more about the uses and benefits of intraoral cameras, we invite you to call or visit our dentists and team soon.

The iTero scanner captures up to 20 images per second in full color, allowing us to easily distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, build accurate digital models of your mouth, and create appliances and restorations that fit and function better. iTero technology can even simulate your treatment outcome to show you what your end result should look like!

When our dentists or hygiene team scan your mouth, a small wand will be used to quickly and comfortably scan the inside of your mouth. As the wand passes over your teeth, the images captured will be processed simultaneously to provide an immediate, complete, and highly accurate image of your mouth. The pictures are even saved automatically every few seconds, so you don’t need to sit through a second scan.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Our dentists and team at Alpha Dental Excellence always have your oral health in mind, which is why we offer oral cancer screenings with our regular dental checkups. Early detection can greatly reduce the impact of oral cancer, especially for high-risk patients, tobacco users, and patients 18 years and older. We use VELscope, ViziLite technology, and the OralCDx® brush test for more accurate screenings and peace of mind. We encourage you to schedule an appointment with Dr. Arpan Patel and our highly-trained dental experts if more than six months have passed since your last oral cancer screening in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Call us today at (215) 515-2393!
Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, cheeks, throat (pharynx), sinuses, and hard and soft palate. While oral cancer can usually be successfully treated when detected early, most cases of oral cancer are not detected until they have progressed into a more serious, advanced stage that is much more difficult to treat. In fact, oral cancer may be life-threatening. At our office, we are dedicated to doing all we can to detect and treat oral cancers and other abnormalities at the earliest possible stage. During your routine dental cleanings and exams at our office, our dentists and team will perform an oral cancer screening to check for the signs of oral cancer.
The following are common symptoms of oral cancer:● A persistent sore throat or feeling that something is caught at the back of the throat.● Unexplained bleeding in the mouth.● A persistent or lasting sore on the face, neck, or mouth that bleeds easily and does not heal within two weeks.● Unexplained loss of feeling, pain, or numbness in the face, neck, or mouth.● Ear pain.● Lumps, bumps, or rough spots on the gums, lips, or other parts of the mouth.● Red, white or speckled red-and-white patches in the mouth.● Difficulty chewing, speaking, or swallowing.● A change in the way your teeth or dentures fit together.

While our team will perform a screening for oral cancer to check for these and other symptoms, we encourage you to contact us if you notice any of these problems or if you experience any other type of dental pain. We are committed to helping you stay in good health.

Panoramic X-Rays

Our dentists may use panoramic X-rays during your visit to examine all your teeth and their supporting structures. These X-rays allow us to view your entire smile at once. Call Alpha Dental Excellence today at (215) 515-2393 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Arpan Patel and our highly-trained dental experts and learn more about panoramic X-rays in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.
In order to provide you with the best possible care, it is essential for our dentists to accurately evaluate and diagnose your oral health. One of the state-of-the-art tools we use to do that is panoramic X-rays. While standard X-rays, called bitewing X-rays, provide us with a view of a few teeth and the supporting bone structure, panoramic X-rays allow us to view the full upper and lower dental arches — including all of the teeth, the upper and lower jawbones, and the surrounding facial structures. Using panoramic X-rays, our oral health professionals can:● Assess the need for orthodontics and evaluate the progress of treatment.● Diagnose impacted wisdom teeth and other impacted teeth.● Analyze the development of periodontal disease.● Evaluate the TMJ (jaw joint) and diagnose a TMJ disorder.● Detect oral cancer.● Plan dental implant placement.● Diagnose cavities (tooth decay) and other dental problems.● Evaluate the extent of dental or facial trauma.● Detect abscesses, cysts, and tumors.

Using the panoramic X-ray machine is fast and comfortable. The machine simply rotates around your head and provides our dentists with high-definition, nearly instantaneous images that we can then use to evaluate your oral health. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about panoramic X-rays.
