Providing State of the Art Cosmetic Dental Technology in our Los Angeles, Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, Malibu, California office

Technology in dentistry, as with all areas of life, has marched forward, with innovative new instrumentation being developed continuously. Dr Ziv is always on the cutting edge of advanced dental learning and devotes extensive time each year to continuing education and evaluation of new technology.

CT Imaging

The Ziv Studio for Smile Design is one of only 5 dental offices in California to have in-house CT imaging. The advantages are huge, both in terms of precision for implant placement, comfort for the patient because CT imaging allows Dr Ziv to place implants without incision and stitches, and superior diagnostic capabilities as the CT shows far more than a regular dental or panoramic x-ray and has extremely low radiation dosage. A CT scan with our i-CAT dental imaging system allows quick & easy imaging of critical anatomical information, typically in under one minute.

Digital X-Rays

There is no comparison between the old fashioned dental x-rays which your dentist placed on a light box to view, and digital x-rays which can be manipulated, and enlarged at will to aid the dentist in making informed treatment decisions. The other advantage of a digital x-ray is that it can be shared via email to outside specialists at the touch of a button, and each image is a crisp original – vs. non-digital x-rays where resolution is lost when copied.

Dental Microscope

For precision in surgical procedures, Dr Ziv uses a dental microscope from Global Surgical TM, a leader in the field of dental technology. This allows exceptionally detailed work for an exquisite result.

Laser Dentistry

The DIAGNOdent® laser allows Dr Ziv to detect decay early, before it is even visible by the naked eye, and before it creates a larger, and more expensive, problem for you. The entire mouth can be scanned in minutes using laser technology, the procedure is completely painless, and it can detect decay that would have been missed by older methods. Decay can destroy a tooth from the inside out, so an area of decay that is undetectable by other means can be a quietly ticking time bomb.

Gummy smiles and uneven gum lines can easily be corrected with the DIAGNOdent® laser without the need for conventional surgery or stitches.

Though we have the skills and experience to turn a troubled mouth into a stunning smile through cosmetic dentistry, the goal at our Agoura Hills office is to help you maintain the health and natural sparkle of your original teeth.

Drill Free Air Abrasion Dentistry

By diagnosing a cavity early with the DIAGNOdent laser, it is possible to remove the decay with a gentle air abrasion. It is a painless procedure with no drilling necessary, no need to numb the area and no shots. The tooth is finished with a tooth colored resin filling.
