What advanced technology does Alpha Dental Excellence use?
Seven pieces of diagnostic and treatment technology run inside the Langhorne office, plus the Yomi implant robot. The point of all of it is the same: see the problem before we treat it, treat it in fewer visits, and make it hurt less.
What does the Yomi implant robot actually do differently?
Freehand implant placement relies on the surgeon holding a planned angle by eye. Yomi removes that variable: the position is mapped on a 3D scan first, and the robotic arm keeps the drill on it throughout, which is why placements are quick and most patients leave without stitches.
Dental Implant Robot
Dr. Patel plans the implant position on your 3D scan before you sit down. During surgery the Yomi arm holds the handpiece to that plan and will not let it wander, so the placement you agreed to is the placement you get. Alpha Dental Excellence is a Neocis Diamond Provider, which puts the practice in the top ten percent of Yomi surgeons in the country.
Yomi: Dental Implant Robot
Placed exactly to the planThe arm physically constrains the drill to the position mapped on your 3D scan, so the implant goes where it was planned rather than where the hand drifts.
Nerves and sinuses avoidedThe plan maps nerve pathways and sinus cavities before anything starts, and the robot will not let the drill travel outside it.
Back to normal soonerA smaller opening disturbs less tissue, so swelling and downtime are usually shorter than freehand placement.
Gentler in the chairMost placements take about 15 minutes, and because the opening is small, many cases need no stitches.
How does AI-assisted X-ray reading change your diagnosis?
FDA cleared AI reviews your X-ray at the same time the dentist does and flags findings in real time. It takes the guesswork out of reading a radiograph, and you see what it found on screen rather than being told about it.
What the AI adds
Second Opinion by PearlThe practice uses Second Opinion, an FDA cleared system made by Pearl, to read radiographs alongside the dentist.
Findings in real timeDetection happens while you are in the chair, not after the appointment.
Less guessworkA second read on every image means early findings are less likely to be missed.
You see it tooFindings are marked on the image on screen, so the conversation is about what is actually there.
How can a crown or bridge be made during your visit?
Crowns, bridges and appliances are printed in the office on SprintRay Pro 55S 3D printers. The scan, the design and the print all happen in the same building, which is what removes the second visit and the temporary in between.
A digital scan, the file that gets printed
How same-day works
SprintRay Pro 55STwo in-office 3D printers produce crowns, bridges and appliances on site.
No second visitThe restoration is made while you are there rather than sent to an outside lab.
Digital from the startYour intraoral scan becomes the design file, so nothing is remade from a physical mould.
Fewer temporariesLess time in a temporary restoration waiting for a lab to return the final one.
Why does Alpha Dental Excellence use DEXIS digital X-rays?
Our dentists may use DEXIS Digital X-rays during your visit to check for any signs of developing dental conditions or diseases. This technology allows us to catch issues that may be missed in a traditional visual exam.
What does an intraoral camera let you see during your exam?
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 traditional visual exam.
How does digital scanning replace messy dental impressions?
Our intraoral digital scanner is an advanced piece of technology that allows our dentists and team to diagnose problems and provide effective treatments. The 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. This technology can even simulate your treatment outcome to show you what your end result should look like!
Early detection of oral cancer greatly improves treatment outcomes. Our team uses advanced screening tools like VELscope, ViziLite, and OralCDx to identify concerns early and give you peace of mind.
When is a panoramic X-ray used instead of a standard one?
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. 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.
