Raising the bar with cutting-edge technology
The world of dentistry is never at a standstill. Emerging technologies are developed every day, and our dental office stays at the forefront of these innovations for the sake of our patients. Here are the technologies you can enjoy in our office.
Intraoral camera
The process is simple. The dentist maneuvers a small, camera-tipped wand in the mouth to take clear, close-up images of your teeth and gums. These images are transferred in real-time to a chairside monitor. These detailed pictures allow us to show you exactly what we see in your mouth, making it easier to explain problematic areas and treatment options. Intraoral technology is valuable in diagnostics and patient education.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
CBCT is an advanced X-ray machine that generates 3D images of your teeth, jaws, nerves, and connective tissues. Traditional, two-dimensional X-rays identify problems like wisdom teeth and cavities, but have limitations. CBCT is an advanced imaging tool that gives a full, detailed view of the oral-maxillofacial structures. Moreover, the scanning process is quick, painless, and non-invasive.
CBCT is valuable in diagnosing complex problems and planning advanced procedures. Our office uses 3D CBCT in planning dental implants, root canals, and complex dental extractions.
Digital X-rays
Dentists have never looked back since the inception of digital radiography. It’s a step up from film-based X-rays, which needed hours to generate not-so-clear images of your oral structures, not to mention high radiation exposure.
Digital X-rays capture detailed images of your teeth and bone in real time—no hazardous chemicals or dark rooms are needed. Additionally, you don’t need to worry about safety because this technology reduces radiation exposure by 80%-90%. Digital X-rays are integral in diagnostics and planning extractions, dental implants, crowns, and other treatments.
Digital scanners
Say goodbye to messy impression trays! Our digital scanners create quick, accurate 3D models of your teeth and bite without the goop. These models are crucial for crowns, bridges, Invisalign aligners, and other treatments, ensuring a perfect fit and a more pleasant experience.
