Learn About Our Dental Technology

Here are some of the advanced tools and techniques Dr. Dolgos uses to provide his patients with the most precise, comfortable, and effective dental procedures in the Buffalo area.

Digital Scanning and Impressions

i-CAT FLX

Our Buffalo area dentist uses i-CAT™ FLX scanning technology. i-CAT FLX takes amazingly detailed 3D X-rays of the teeth, jaw, and cranium. The state-of-the-art system uses much less radiation than old-fashioned X-rays. The resulting images can help Dr. Dolgos analyze the points of contact between each tooth and how other dental problems affect the overall function of your teeth and other structures of the mouth.

Digital Impressions

Some old-school dentists still take dental impressions using uncomfortable trays and messy putty. Dr. Dolgos uses high-tech digital imaging and scanning technology instead. With a simple handheld tool, he can take high-resolution scans of your mouth. These advanced digital impressions provide a vastly detailed look at each tooth. This is crucial for crafting a custom oral appliance that fits your smile just right.

3D Printing in Dentistry

In the past, dentists relied on off-site dental labs to create custom mouth guards and retainers. Thanks to 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Dolgos can create a custom oral appliance at his Orchard Park dental practice.

Our on-site 3D-printed oral appliances are durable, high-quality, and can be checked for fit while the patient is present. Dr. Dolgos has years of top-level training, education, and experience when it comes to designing and crafting a mouth guard that can treat your dental health symptoms.

Advancements Come in Many Forms Technology for Locked Jaw

Dr. Dolgos believes that technology comes in all forms. Technology doesn't have to be digital; it's any tool that helps solve your problem. Dr. Dolgos talks about alternative technology he uses to help patients suffering from TMJ disorder and locked jaw. For instance, a corn bag made by local artisans is one of the technological inventions that Dr. Dolgos regularly recommends to patients.

We Also Offer Sleep Apnea Treatment

/

If you have sleep apnea or suspect you may have it due to symptoms like snoring and fatigue during the day, Dr. Dolgos can help you find a treatment. 

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea can disrupt your ability to get a restful night's sleep. This disorder can be caused by collapsed throat muscles that block your upper airway while you sleep. This results in loud snoring and gasping for air numerous times during the night. Your bed partner's sleep can also be disturbed by your sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea contributes to all kinds of health issues, including daytime fatigue, memory problems, depression, concentration difficulties, and diabetes.

Advanced Sleep Apnea Home Studies and Treatment

With advanced technology, sleep apnea patients can be diagnosed and treated without surgical intervention. Our technology allows for comfortable testing and treatment that don't deter your life. 

WatchPAT® Home Sleep Apnea Test

Dr. Dolgos may recommend a WatchPAT® Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT). This convenient at-home sleep study is a comfortable way to diagnose the severity of your sleep apnea. WatchPAT eliminates the need for a professional sleep study in which you spend the night wired up to various machines at an outside lab. WatchPAT is a data-recording, watch-like device worn on your wrist while you sleep.

Unlike other at-home sleep apnea monitors, no uncomfortable wires are connected to your head or face. The WatchPAT sensors silently record your snoring, body movements, heart rate, and the number of breathing interruptions you experience.

Oral Appliance Therapy

Your sleep study is collected and analyzed by trusted sleep apnea experts. From there, Dr. Dolgos can design a customized sleep apnea mouth guard. The oral appliance will gently push your lower jaw forward, opening your upper airway to improve breathing and reduce sleep apnea symptoms.

Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea is much easier and more comfortable than the use of a noisy CPAP machine. And FYI, the data collected during your home sleep study can be submitted to your insurance company to help you get coverage for treatment.

How a Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard Works

A state-of-the-art customized mouth guard from Dr. Dolgos can help reduce or eliminate sleep apnea issues depending on the severity of your case.
