To provide patients with the most comfortable, and advanced dental care available, The Ricco Dental Group uses the latest dental technologies, aimed at creating a relaxing patient experience, even for those who are fearful of going to the dentist. The Ricco Dental Group is a full-service dental practice providing preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental treatments in Plainview, NY.
According to Dr. Steven Ricco, intraoral cameras are now used in most patient visits. The intraoral dental cameras provide a complete 3D image of the teeth and gums, using a handheld camera that swabs the patient’s mouth.
“The immediate images generated with the 3D intraoral cameras allow us to not only tell our patients about any problems we find in the teeth or gums, but we can also show them what needs to be corrected. The fact that these incredibly detailed images are entirely painless should help put anyone anxious or fearful of going to the dentist, at ease,” Dr. Ricco explained.
In addition, he says that showing patients what is happening with their oral health, enables patients to enjoy a more interactive role in their own appointments. “Thanks to technology, patients are more informed than ever about their oral health. This helps them to make good decisions about dental treatments that will improve their overall physical and mental health and wellbeing.”
There is more evidence each day that oral health can often be a window into overall health. Studies are linking conditions such as chronic periodontal disease to serious conditions including diabetes and heart disease. Some evidence suggests that the first symptoms of myriad chronic conditions may first appear in the mouth. “Just seeing the dentist regularly can help prevent disease, or generate early treatment, which can ultimately save your life,” he added.
The Ricco Dental Group also recently invested in a new website (https://www.thericcodentalgroup.com) designed to make scheduling appointments easier and to provide information to patients interested in learning about a variety of cosmetic treatments, including Invisalign, dental implants, and porcelain veneers.
“Informed patients make good decisions about their oral health and their mental health. We know that missing teeth, crooked teeth, or severely damaged teeth negatively impact mental health. Treatments to restore your smile can have an incredible impact on your overall well-being. That’s our goal at The Ricco Dental Group: to help patients to achieve and maintain good oral health, thereby contributing to overall health and wellness,” Dr. Ricco said.
