Karen Lawitts and Nancy Yeates, Syracuse dentists, are happy to offer improved dental technology in their state-of-the art dental office. By offering digital imaging and implant restoration, Drs. Lawitts and Yeates are able to significant improve their patients' treatment options.

With digital imaging, Drs. Lawitts and Yeates, dentists in Syracuse, NY, maintain the ability to process the image even after treatment is completed. Post-processing of the digital image allows them to manipulate the pixel shades to correct image density and contrast, as well as perform other process functions that could result in improved diagnosis and fewer repeated examinations.

"Utilizing new, advanced technology allows us to provide our patients with the best in diagnosis and treatment options. It is important to remain on the cutting edge of dental technology in order to always be able to offer our patients the best care possible. From diagnosis tools such as dental imaging, to treatment options with implant restoration, we can ensure our patients smile for a lifetime," said Dr. Karen Lawitts, Syracuse, NY dentist.

Digital imaging also allows Drs. Lawitts and Yeates to store the images in the computer memory so that they can be easily retrieved on the same computer screen. They can also be saved indefinitely or be printed on paper or film when necessary. The use of digital imaging also allows for the electronic transmission of images to third-party providers, referring dentists, consultants, and insurance carriers via a modem.

Additionally, Drs. Karen Lawitts and Nancy Yeates, cosmetic dentists in Syracuse, are pleased to offer implant restoration when patients are missing a tooth, or multiple teeth. Dental implants are a popular and extremely effective way to replace missing teeth. They are designed to blend in with a patient's natural teeth, while providing patients with an excellent long-term option for restoring their smile. The development of dental implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years, allowing for the replacement of missing teeth.

Made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body, implants are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw to act as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.
