Modern Dental Technology at Forest Dental Café
Good dental technology in Frisco isn’t about gadgets for their own sake — it’s about safer diagnoses, more comfortable treatment, and keeping more of your care under one roof instead of sending you across town to a specialist. Dr. Demian Kim has invested in the tools and training to image in 3D, place implants, lift sinuses, treat gums, and numb comfortably — all in one familiar place.
Vatech Green CT: Low-Dose 3D Imaging
A traditional dental X-ray is flat. Our Vatech Green CT captures your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses in three dimensions in a single scan that takes seconds — and the “Green” name refers to its low-dose design, giving Dr. Kim the detail he needs with less radiation.
That 3D view changes what’s possible. It lets Dr. Kim plan implants around the exact position of your bone and nerves, evaluate impacted wisdom teeth before removal, measure whether the upper jaw needs a sinus lift, and catch problems a two-dimensional film would miss. You often see the image yourself — a much clearer conversation than pointing at a shadowy film.
Implants and Sinus Lifts, Placed In-House
Many general dentists refer implant surgery out. Dr. Kim doesn’t. He places dental implants using the Hiossen implant system, positioned with precision using the 3D CBCT scan so the implant sits exactly where your bone and nerves allow.
When the upper jaw doesn’t have enough bone height for an implant — common when a tooth has been missing a while — he performs sinus lifts in-house using a minimally invasive crestal technique (working through the ridge rather than opening the side of the jaw). For patients, that means the implant process most offices split across a referral to an oral surgeon can often be completed by the dentist who already knows you.
The Biolase Epic Laser: Gum Care and Whitening
Our Biolase Epic laser does two jobs patients feel directly.
For periodontal (gum) care, it treats gum inflammation and reshapes soft tissue with precision — often with less bleeding, fewer stitches, and more comfortable healing than traditional methods.
It also powers professional teeth whitening, using light to accelerate a safe, in-office treatment for faster, noticeably brighter results in a single appointment.
The Wand STA: Anesthesia Without the Pinch
Numbing is where dental anxiety often lives. We use The Wand STA, a computer-controlled anesthesia system that delivers anesthetic at a slow, steady, pressure-regulated rate instead of all at once. For many patients that means little or no sting — and often only the tooth being treated is numbed, not half your face. It’s one of the most common reasons nervous patients tell us treatment felt easier than they expected.
Digital X-Rays: Less Radiation, Instant Results
Digital X-rays use a fraction of the radiation of old film and appear on screen instantly — no chemical developing, no waiting. Dr. Kim can enlarge the image, review it with you on the spot, and store it securely for accurate comparison over time.
Advanced Dental Technology in Frisco That Keeps Your Care Under One Roof
Put together, all of this means one thing for you: fewer referrals. Because Dr. Kim has 3D imaging, surgical training, a dental laser, and comfortable anesthesia in-office, he handles procedures many general dentists send elsewhere — root canals, impacted wisdom tooth removal, implant placement, and sinus lifts — so you stay with a team that knows your full history from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a dental CBCT scan safe? Yes. Our Vatech Green CT is designed for low-dose 3D imaging and each scan takes only seconds. Dr. Kim uses it when the added detail meaningfully improves diagnosis or planning, such as for implants, sinus lifts, or wisdom teeth.
Does Forest Dental Café place dental implants in-house? Yes. Dr. Kim places implants using the Hiossen implant system, planned on the 3D CBCT scan. He also performs sinus lifts in-house when more bone height is needed — procedures many offices refer out.
What is the Biolase laser used for? It’s used for periodontal (gum) treatment — reshaping tissue and treating inflammation with less bleeding and more comfortable healing — and for professional in-office teeth whitening.
Does getting numb have to hurt? No. We use The Wand STA, a computer-controlled anesthesia system that delivers anesthetic slowly and steadily, so injections are far more comfortable, often numbing only the tooth being treated.
Can Forest Dental Café do root canals and wisdom teeth in-office? Yes. With 3D imaging, surgical training, and a dental laser on-site, Dr. Kim performs root canals, impacted wisdom tooth removal, implants, and sinus lifts in-office.
