Our practice uses state-of-the-art technology. With this technology Dr. Logue can provide the latest advances in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This technology can provide information for the best and most predictable treatment plans, deliver oral surgery services in the safest environment, and aid in a speedy recovery. See the list below of the advanced equipment used in our practice.

• Scanora 3D

• The Scanora 3D is a three dimensional cone beam scanner and digital panoramic system.
• The Scanora 3D offers three different sizes for the field of view. This minimizes the patient exposure to the necessary anatomy only.
• The Scanora 3D allows Dr. Logue to view the maxillofacial anatomy in 3 dimensions.
• It is useful for diagnosis and treatment planning of Dental Implants, wisdom tooth and supernumerary tooth removal, and pathology.

• Digital Radiography

• Digital Panoramic Image
• Digital Periapical Image

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): Helping You Heal

• PRP is composed of your own platelets and plasma. These platelets contain "growth factors" that stimulate connective tissue healing, bone regeneration and repair, and the development of new blood vessels.
• PRP can speed and improve the healing process after dental implants, bone grafting and other oral surgery procedures.
• To make PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn prior to surgery. The blood is placed in a special centrifuge that spins and separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is further centrifuged to concentrate the "growth factors".

• Sedation Monitoring and Equipment

• Safe administration of sedation requires proper training, patient selection, strict protocols, and the proper monitoring devices. Our office uses the following monitors and equipment on all sedation cases.

• Pulse oximeter: measures the oxygen saturation in the blood
• Automatic blood pressure cuff set at regular intervals: measures blood pressure
• EKG monitoring: measures heart rate and rhythm.
• Oxygen administered through a nasal canula
• Intravenous access to deliver fluids and pharmacologic agents

• Dental Implant Surgical Guide

• Prior to dental implant surgery a "Surgical Guide" is fabricated at a dental laboratory. This guide aids Dr. Logue in placing the dental implant in the most ideal position for predictability and esthetics. Radiopaque markers used in the surgical guide in conjunction with a cone beam scan can verify placement location of the dental implants.

• Teeth within a day after Dental Implant Placement

• Dental implant technology has advanced to the point where a "temporary tooth" may be placed on the dental implant within a day. The patient must meet certain criteria to be a candidate for this "immediate loading". The criteria would include such things as: good bone quality and adequate quantity, no evidence of infection, non-smoker, and good overall health. Our office will coordinate your dental implant surgery with your restorative dentist.
