Technology makes dentistry more accurate and comfortable for our patients. Dr. Wade Kifer studies new technology as it appears in dentistry and implements the most useful equipment and techniques into our Fayetteville, AR dental office.
Here, you will find some of the latest technology we have incorporated into Northwest Arkansas Family Dental. We look forward to providing you with the many benefits of modern dentistry!
E4D Technology
CAD-CAM Technology implements some of the most exciting developments to ensure that your dental restorations are both accurate and esthetic. CAD-CAM combines digital 3-D scan technology with computer-aided design and manufacture to ensure proper fit and function for dental restorations such as crowns and bridges.
By using CAD-CAM, we can eliminate the need for sticky impressions and provide our patients with convenient treatment, beautiful results, and precise fit when it comes to their dental restorations. We create your dental restorations in our office while you wait!
XDR Digital Radiography
We feel that digital radiography allows us to get the necessary information with less risk of radiation to the patient. Digital x-rays have been shown to use up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays. We also love the fact that we can take an x-ray and immediately pull it up on the screen in front of you.
Kois Deprogrammer
The Kois Deprogrammer is a major part of our office and helps us treat complex dental issues. I am reluctant to put devices that we use in the technology section of our website because it is not the technology but the training and ability to use the device to diagnose your problems that makes this such a valuable tool in our office.
We use the Kois deprogrammer to help you relax your jaw and muscles. This allows us to figure out what is going on with your bite and jaw. When your bite and jaw are not aligned properly, you may exhibit symptoms that include broken teeth, headaches, thin chipping teeth, and even problems chewing different kinds of food.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then call our dental office in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and we will be happy to give you a plan to help you get rid of your symptoms.
CariFree
CariFree is a product that we are very proud of in our office. Carifree is a system for CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment.)
“Caries” is another term that dentists use for cavities. We believe that by doing a proper risk assessment on our patients and recommending the proper products and techniques, we can help you prevent getting new cavities. We pride ourselves on being able to fix your problems but also going the extra mile to make sure that you don't get new cavities. There is nothing more frustrating than going to the dentist and getting told that you have a new cavity. We want you to enjoy going to the dentist and look forward to giving you a good checkup when you come in.
