Dentists in Washington Metro Area Receive Notoriety for Cutting Edge Imaging System

Gainesville Dental Associates, an innovative dental group in Gainesville, Virginia, is being publicized for their use of the iCAT 3D Dental Imaging System.

Gainesville, VA (PRWEB) April 27, 2008 -- Gainesville Dental Associates, one of three innovative dental offices in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, is receiving notoriety for their use of the iCAT 3D Dental Imaging System. Their work with this cutting edge technology is the subject of a recent write-up in the Bull Run Observer, western Prince William County's hometown newspaper.

What makes this imaging system so advanced is the ability it gives dentists to immediately see three dimensional digital reconstructions of their patients' anatomy. The feature in the Bull Run Observer explains how the team at Gainesville Dental Associates can take an iCAT scan in only 20 seconds while the patient is in the upright position. The iCAT scans are comparable to a panoramic x-ray but with less radiation, and have helped dentists make dramatic strides in implant dentistry and treatment of TMJ syndrome.

To ensure that the iCAT system is effective, the dentists review the scans and then forward them to Dr. Christos Angelopoulos, a board certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist at Columbia University. Thanks to the effectiveness of this treatment for dental implant patients, Dr. Theo Batistas and Dr. Tony Chehade of the Gainesville Dental Associates can measure dimensions and bone quality with extreme precision. Together they have placed hundreds of implants successfully.

The feature story about Gainesville Dental Associates and their use of the iCAT 3D Dental Imaging System appeared in the April 4th issue of the Bull Run Observer. For more information about Gainesville Dental Associates and their services, visit www.gainesvilledentalassociates.com.
