New Dental Tech Transforming Smiles

A look at how Dr. Nathan Desai and Fishinger Dental are bringing cutting-edge dental technology to our local community

Why Hilliard Residents Are Smiling Brighter

If you’re among the nearly six in ten Americans who wish they could enhance their smile, you’re certainly not alone. A recent study revealed that 58 percent of Americans would like to improve their smile in some way, whether that means whiter teeth, straighter alignment, or addressing long-standing dental issues.

Fortunately for Hilliard residents, achieving that perfect smile has never been easier, faster, or more comfortable than it is today. Thanks to revolutionary advancements in dental technology being implemented by practices like Fishinger Dental, the days of lengthy, uncomfortable dental procedures are becoming a thing of the past.

The Digital Transformation in Your Neighborhood

Dr. Nathan Desai of Fishinger Dental has been at the forefront of bringing these innovations to our Hilliard community. The technology available today is transforming what Fishinger Dental can offer patients. Dental procedures that once took multiple appointments can now be completed in a single visit, with better results and greater comfort.

Here’s a look at some of the groundbreaking dental technology that’s changing smiles—and lives—right here in Hilliard:

3-D Cone Beam CT Digital Imagery: Precision Diagnostics

Dr. Desai has invested in state-of-the-art 3-D cone beam CT technology, which provides incredibly detailed three-dimensional images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan.

Dr. Desai can detect issues earlier, plan treatments with greater precision, and help patients understand exactly what’s happening in their mouth. For complex procedures like dental implant placement, this technology is absolutely game-changing for Hilliard patients.

Ultrasonic Scaling: Gentle, Thorough Cleanings

The ultrasonic scaler represents another technological leap forward at Fishinger Dental. Unlike traditional manual scaling instruments, ultrasonic scalers use high-frequency sound waves to remove plaque and calculus with remarkable efficiency and comfort.

The procedure is faster, gentler on the gums, and more effective at reaching difficult areas. It’s especially beneficial for our Hilliard patients with periodontal concerns, allowing for more thorough treatment with less discomfort.

3D Digital Scanning: Goodbye, Goopy Impressions

Remember those uncomfortable, gag-inducing dental impressions using trays filled with putty? That experience is being eliminated by advanced intraoral scanners that create detailed 3D models of your teeth in minutes—no mess, no discomfort.

Same-Day Restorations: Crowns in Hours, Not Weeks

Perhaps one of the most significant advances benefiting Hilliard residents is CAD/CAM technology that allows for same-day dental restorations. Using systems like CEREC, Dr. Desai can design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment.

This technology is a game-changer for busy families and professionals in Hilliard. Instead of wearing a temporary crown for weeks and returning for a second appointment, patients can come in during their lunch break and leave with their permanent restoration.

Clear Aligner Technology: Straightening Teeth Discreetly

For the many Hilliard adults who wish they had straighter teeth but don’t want traditional braces, clear aligner systems, like Invisalign, offer an almost invisible solution. Using 3D scanning and printing technology, custom aligners can gradually shift teeth into the ideal position without metal brackets or wires.

Patients from throughout Columbus—including Dublin, Upper Arlington, and Westerville—are choosing clear aligners because they can improve their smile without impacting their appearance during treatment.

The Local Advantage: Technology with a Personal Touch

While these technological advances are impressive, what truly sets Fishinger Dental apart is how Dr. Desai combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care. What matters most is understanding each patient’s unique needs and concerns, then using these advanced tools to deliver the best possible outcome for them specifically.

This philosophy has attracted patients not only from Hilliard but from surrounding communities, including Columbus, Dublin, Upper Arlington, Grove City, and Westerville.

Is Advanced Dental Technology Worth the Investment?

Many patients wonder whether practices using the latest technology will be more expensive. Interestingly, while the initial investment for dental practices is significant, these technologies often lead to more efficient procedures that can reduce costs over time.

When Dr. Desai can complete a procedure in one visit instead of three, that’s saving the patient both time and money. Additionally, the precision of digital technology often means longer-lasting results, which is another form of value.

Fishinger Dental works with most major insurance providers and offers payment options to help make advanced dental care accessible to more Hilliard families.
