Desert Smiles CE: Cone Beam Imaging | Phoenix Cosmetic Dentist

At Desert Smiles we recently did some continuing education on Cone Beam Imaging – taught by Dale Miles, DDS. Dr. Miles is one of the most highly dental radiologists in the world. The course was held at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health.

The advances in Cone Beam Imaging were discussed along with the use of these new imaging systems in the diagnosis and placement of implants and their ability to diagnosis oral pathologies that traditional x-ray systems can’t detect.

As we expand our ability to place implants for our patients this technology makes an extremely accurate diagnosis and placement much more predictable and successful. Three-dimensional guided surgery is the state of the art in implant placement, which we have now incorporated into our patient services.

Desert Smiles featured on "Only On Fox" Friday April 2, 2010 | Phoenix Cosmetic Dentist

Join me at 9 p.m on the KSAZ FOX10 Phoenix's “Only on Fox” segment Friday, April 2. My dental office, Desert Smiles, treated FOX10's weatherman for his snoring problems. He and his wife are extremely happy about the results (especially his wife).

Fox visited Desert Smiles to do a story on the sleep apnea appliances that were used to help the weatherman. You can see the interview I did for the show on sleep apnea, snoring, and the appliances (Somomed). We hope that you enjoy it.
