The Most Advanced Dental Technology In Statesville
Statesville, NC
At Fern Creek Dentistry we use cutting-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results!
Digital X-ray
In the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone.

Intraoral Camera
Patient education is something we take very seriously here at Fern Creek Dentistry. Knowing what is going on in your mouth means being able to properly take care of your mouth. Intraoral cameras have done a great job in terms of educating patients in the dental industry. An intraoral camera is a small, toothbrush shaped/sized camera. The video taken with it is projected onto a monitor that we adjust so you may view the feed. We frequently use intraoral cameras to show patients issues that have arisen within their mouth, since it is not easy to view much of your own mouth using a mirror. With the camera we are able to show you in high detail what is going on in your mouth.

Same Day Crowns
Prashant Patel, DDS understands how valuable your time is, which is why we offer same-day dental crowns. This means we can prepare your tooth, take an impression, and fabricate your restoration, all within a single appointment.
Traditional dental crowns typically require multiple appointments for multiple procedures. The data we capture with our intraoral wand is wirelessly transferred to our computer system. We then use CAD/CAM software to design your crown “chairside” as you watch in real-time. Next, this information is sent to our milling unit, which transforms a single block of porcelain into your aesthetically-pleasing restoration.
Soft Tissue Laser
A soft tissue laser simultaneously cauterizes and cuts an incision in the tissue. For this reason, laser treatment may reduce bleeding, discomfort, and swelling both during and after your procedure. We may use a soft tissue laser to treat periodontal disease by removing the infected lining of the gum tissue. This allows for the regeneration of healthy tissue around the teeth. Soft tissue lasers are also effective for gum contouring and crown lengthening if you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
3D Imaging
3D imaging gives Prashant Patel, DDS a more comprehensive overview of your teeth and gum tissues. This allows us to better diagnose any potential problems and determine the next step in an effective treatment plan. We may utilize 3D imaging for cosmetic or restorative purposes, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants.
Cone Beam CT Scan
A cone beam CT scan is a diagnostic tool that produces a 3D representation of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and underlying bone structure within a single image. We typically utilize cone beam CT scans when a regular x-ray is not enough. Cone beam CT scans are ideal for surgical planning, the diagnosis of TMJ disorders and tumors, and the evaluation of bone structure and tooth orientation.

See what are patients have to say about us!
"I have never enjoyed going to the dentist and was very neglectful of my teeth. I was not shamed once for this and everyone was very personable, helpful and efficient. I was told by another dentist that to extract my tooth it would be $850 with insurance I got it done here for $110. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go here, clean beautiful environment and the staff makes your day."
"I just moved to Statesville and I was able to schedule a new patient appointment quickly and easily. The staff were all courteous and the office was very clean. Both the hygienist and the dentist were gentle and explained things well. I noticed, too, that they are a bilingual office. I highly recommend this provider!"
"The Fern Creek Dental office was able to work me in an emergency appointment to extract my tooth. I was absolutely terrified to have this tooth pulled, and waited over 2 years, but the dentist and the dental assistant we're so kind, patient and helpful the whole process went smooth. The dentist took his time made sure I was ok during the procedure. The price was well worth it too. For sure recommend this dentist."
