Dr. David Moghadam

Our program featured dentist David Moghadam who is the owner of College Hill Dental Group. His presentation highlighted some of the dramatic technological advances in the world of dentistry. A trip to the dentist is not high on most people’s wish list. 36% of people have some form of dental anxiety and it is part of the reason that 20% of the population never go to the dentist. New technology can make the experience less harrowing. Intraoral scanners are now commonplace and eliminate the need for goopy impressions. The scanners are faster, more accurate, and more comfortable.

Digital x-rays offer less radiation, better image quality and faster diagnostics. 3D x-rays can show infection and pathology that might otherwise go unnoticed. Artificial intelligence software products are extra sensitive and can help diagnose and detect issues. The software helps design crowns, bridges, veneers, nightguards, and dentures. IV sedation or nitrous oxide can help ease a patient’s trauma. These advances help make dentistry faster, less expensive, more safe.
