Digital X-rays
We are dedicated to providing you with the safest and most convenient treatment options available. We utilize digital X-ray technology including a dental CBCT, which allows for 3D images of the teeth and jaws.
Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer images, provide better information, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Digital Impressions
No more goop, gagging, or discomfort. Using the latest in digital technology, our team can take the most accurate digital impression of your teeth. This technology results in better treatment and a more enjoyable patient experience. Digital impressions give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving treatment results and communication during the consultation and treatment.
Our digital impression scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. From inside your mouth, it captures the structure of your teeth and gums using optical technology. It can be done in less than 5 minutes and renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Digital impressions are used in orthodontics for retainers and Invisalign®. They are also used for restorative treatment including crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, bridges and implants.
3D Printing
Our office uses 3D printing technology for precise, custom fit retainers and appliances every time. When patients complete their treatment, they are given the 3D models so wherever they go, they can have their retainers easily replaced.
This technology allows us to create our own Granite Peak Aligners for limited cases or to correct minor shifting as an alternative to Invisalign®. This can be convenient and economical option to keep our patients smiling.
Intraoral Camera
You know the importance of prevention when it comes to your dental health, and we’re always looking for improved ways to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile. While X-rays provide valuable information, they don’t give a complete view of everything that is going on inside your mouth. With the use of an intraoral camera, we can see every aspect of your teeth and mouth with incredible detail, uncovering cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings, and excessive wear. When we can discover oral problems early, your treatment can be more comfortable, efficient and cost effective.
Our intraoral camera is small, about the size of the mirror we use during your regular hygiene appointments. You probably wouldn’t even notice we’re using it, except that with the intraoral camera, you have the opportunity to see everything we see on a monitor. This is a great tool to help you become more informed about your dental health.
Digital CT Imaging
Digital CT imaging systems allow your doctor to provide quick, painless, and accurate dental imaging for the most precise diagnosis. Digital technology provides 3D data for:
- Dental implants
- Wisdom teeth extractions
- Impactions
- TMJ treatment
- Airway assessments and sleep apnea
- Full facial and jaw 3D images
- Doctors can easily share the data with patients, so that they are informed and can make educated decisions about their treatment
