LOCAL DENTIST UNVEILS HOTTEST TECHNOLOGY IN RESTORATIONS
by Cheryl Martin
Since his establishment in Wellington in 2005, Dr. Miguel Grillo has offered the most innovative services in dental care around Palm Beach County. With the addition of the new 3M Scanning device, the methods for creating crowns and
dentures at Healthy Smiles Dental Group has become state of the art. Messy impressions and long wait times are now a thing of the past, as this new technology allows for precise in-house digital oral scans that can be sent directly to the lab. Restorations just “drop right in” and the accuracy is so reliable, many cases don’t even require a model. In emergency cases, crowns can be replaced the same day if started in the early morning.
These precisely fitting restorations eliminate the need for retakes, remakes and adjustments which means:
– Faster seating times and fewer return visits associated with remakes
– Lower material and labor costs
– Improved patient convenience, satisfaction and loyalty
In addition to cosmetic and restorative dental services, Dr. Grillo offers an advanced approach to promote healing with plasma rich growth factor (PRGF). This cutting edge therapy is a new approach to tissue regeneration and promotes rapid healing in many procedures in dental and oral surgery, especially in aging patients. PRGF utilizes the patient’s own blood which contains growth factors that not only reduce healing time but minimizes bleeding, enhances soft tissue as well as regenerates bone healing.
