Intraoral Cameras

Modern day technology has made all the difference in the dental world. It makes procedures and routines easier, for both the patient and our staff. It’s a privilege to have, and it is a privilege that Dr. Jia Y. Lee, D.D.S. is happy to provide for our patients. Our intraoral camera is one of these pieces of technology.


 


The intraoral camera is used as a diagnostic tool, allowing us to see areas and angles in your mouth that were previously inaccessible. The camera projects what it sees onto the monitor. The patient and the staff both get an up-close view. From here, Dr. Lee can see any potential problems or issues. If you are struggling with your oral health, this can identify the problem. A diagnosis can be made from these images. Together you and Dr. Lee can create a treatment plan that works for you. These images can also be used to gain acceptance for procedures from your insurance company too.


 


There are other benefits to using an intraoral camera. These cameras are highly advanced and have strong lighting and magnifying abilities. The visibility provided leaves no room for error. You don't have to worry about getting an incorrect diagnosis. Images can be printed out and further examined. A better understanding of the issues and comprehension are provided by the visual imagery. Differences between images can help pinpoint anomalies and healing.

Teeth Sectioning

Having to get a tooth removed can be scarier than swimming in shark-infested waters. That’s why Dr. Jia Y. Lee offers Teeth Sectioning services. This form of extraction is faster and easier. Your Rancho Cucamonga dentist breaks the tooth into multiple sections. The fragmented pieces are then easier to remove. The entire procedure requires less force, resulting in a quicker recovery time. To learn more, contact your local dentist.   Dr. Lee recommends teeth sectioning for a few different reasons. Certain teeth upon closer inspection are unique or multi-rooted. This can make it impossible to extract normally. Patients in need of having their wisdom teeth removed are another common source. Wisdom teeth are larger by nature. It’s difficult to remove them, especially if they’re impacted. Lastly, pediatric patients frequently undergo teeth sectioning. It’s less intimidating and painful for children.   The procedure begins with Dr. Lee applying a local anesthetic to the area. For certain pati

Causes of Gap Teeth

As an orthodontic provider, we at Dr. Jia Lee’s Rancho Cucamonga dental office have fixed a lot of gap teeth. Diastema, as they’re commonly known, are the gaps between teeth, and the one between the upper central incisors is a frequent cause of embarrassment and distress. But the exact treatment for them may differ according to their cause. One of the benefits of being both a general dental and an orthodontic office is that we can provide veneers. If the teeth are otherwise in line but the gap in front is just slightly too large, new fronts for the teeth can be used to close it. This might also be an attractive option if the teeth are chipped or scarred. If the teeth are generally jumbled, a gap can be corrected in the course of orthodontic treatment. But if they are being pushed apart by something, treatment may not last unless behavior like tongue thrusting and thumb sucking stops. Assistance from a psychologist or an ear-nose-and-throat doctor may be required to stop involuntary ton

Post-Extraction Swelling

Extractions are often necessary to correct misalignments caused by overcrowding. Dr. Jia Y. Lee’s office in Rancho Cucamonga provides for general dental and orthodontic needs, allowing patients to use the same doctor throughout their orthodontic therapy. Our extractions have a very high success rate, but patients need to know how to take care of themselves while recovering. Swelling is a natural, healthy response to the removal of a tooth. Inflammation is the body’s way of concentrating white blood cells and limiting the spread of bacteria. But following a simple extraction, the blood should quickly form a clot that will protect the socket while it closes, making inflammation an unnecessary burden to the patient. Inflammation can be inhibited by applying ice packs in the days immediately following the surgery, but the patient must be careful to not apply ice for longer than fifteen minutes, and to leave fifteen minutes between applications. It takes about a week for swelling to disappe
