ANNOUNCING OUR NEW CONE BEAM CT

 Drs. Miller & Eidenmuller are proud to announce that they now have a new state-of-the-art Cone Beam CT unit in their office! The new KODAK 9000C 3D System enables us to obtain low-dose, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) images, as well as panoramic and cephalometric ones, at an affordable price.

Added   Patient   Convenience  

To better serve our patients, we now have the ability to take all of our records at our office.   Also, 3D CT Scans can be taken to check bone levels for future Dental Implants and to visualize impacted teeth, check pathology, or investigate any area in 3D.    All data and information can be sent digitally on a CD or printed and mailed to our referring doctors!!  Having highly detailed, true-to-life 3D images helps dental professionals provide quicker and more accurate diagnoses, improved treatment planning and better patient care.

Dr. Miller recently lectured at the Orange County Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. His topic was New Trends and Techniques in Modern Orthodontic Care. Overall, the lecture was well received by the group -  which consists of many of Orange County's most accomplished and skilled Cosmetic Dentists.

Modern Interdisciplinary Orthodontics - New techniques and Trends

Shawn L. Miller, D.M.D., M.Med.Sc

Event

Navigating complex interdisciplinary orthodontic cases can be quite a challenge for both orthodontic specialists and general dentists, but many new techniques and tools have been recently developed to maximize efficiency and enhance treatment results. Some of these leading edge concepts will be discussed and illustrated - including Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AOO), Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), Cone Beam CT, Invisible orthodontics (iBraces/Invisalign), and the Digital Revolution. Dr. Miller utilizes all of these treatment modalities, often in combination, in his private practice on a routine basis. Many of these will become the new ‘standard of care’ for adult interdisciplinary treatment.
