Although the amount of radiation emitted from a dental X-ray is not harmful to children or adults, we’re always looking for new ways to reduce radiation exposure. Introducing digital X-rays: a cutting-edge technology that produces between 80% and 90% less radiation than traditional X-ray films. At Michigan Gum Docs, we’re happy to offer digital X-rays to all our Southfield, MI, patients in the name of safety and optimal health.

Our advanced CT scanning allows us to generate highly accurate 3D images of each patient’s jaws and teeth. This allows us a far greater ability to detect issues with unparalleled accuracy. By using these 3D images, we can formulate highly precise treatment plans, especially for procedures such as dental implants.

PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is a procedure that accelerates wound healing and renewal of bones. During the process, blood is extracted from the patient, placed in a centrifuge, and separated into its components. Blood fibrin, a coagulation agent that induces wound healing, renewal of skin and bones, and formation of new blood vessels, is extracted. The fibrin is then reintroduced to the damaged area, encouraging a faster recovery time.
