Digital Scanning: Comfort and Precision
Digital scanning has transformed the way we take impressions of your teeth. With this advanced technology, we can create highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums without using messy traditional molds. The process is quick, comfortable, and precise, making it ideal for creating crowns, bridges, veneers, and clear aligners. Patients often appreciate how much easier this method is compared to older techniques, allowing for a stress-free experience during restorative or cosmetic treatments.
Intraoral Cameras: See What We See
Intraoral cameras are small, handheld devices that capture high-quality images of the inside of your mouth. These images give us a closer look at potential issues such as cavities, cracks, or gum inflammation. In addition, they allow us to share detailed visuals with you, helping you understand your oral health and make informed decisions about your care. By involving you in the diagnostic process, we enhance trust and communication while ensuring you feel confident in your treatment plan.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography): Advanced 3D Imaging
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) offers unparalleled insights into your dental anatomy. Unlike traditional 2D x-rays, CBCT creates 3D images that show your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures in incredible detail. This technology is particularly beneficial for complex procedures such as dental implant placement, orthodontic planning, and diagnosing TMJ disorders. The precision of CBCT imaging ensures that we can plan treatments with confidence, leading to better results and fewer complications.
Digital X-Rays: Faster, Safer, Smarter
Digital x-rays have revolutionized dental imaging. They emit significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays, making them a safer option for you and your family. Additionally, digital x-rays produce immediate results, eliminating the wait time associated with film-based systems. This means we can quickly diagnose issues such as cavities, bone loss, or infections and begin treatment without delay. Digital x-rays also allow us to store and share images electronically, making record-keeping more efficient and environmentally friendly.
