3D CBCT Scanner

A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner is a device designed to generate incredibly detailed 3D images of a patient’s teeth, roots, gums, dental arches, and jawbones. This technology provides our team with a detailed look at patient’s mouths so that we can provide accurate diagnostics and develop treatment plans with precision. Our scanner also reduces radiation exposure as well as the scan time compared to traditional X-rays, making this an essential tool for our dental practice!

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras allow both you and our team to get a better look at your smile. This small device enables us to take high-definition, close-up images of your teeth and gums we can display on a monitor right in the treatment room. Now, you’ll be able to see exactly what your dentist is talking about as they discuss your dental health and any problem areas. This instrument helps make appointments much more transparent and takes a lot of the mystery out of dental care.

Digital X-Rays

X-rays are an essential part of our practice because they enable us to spot potential dental issues even before they are visible to the naked eye. We only use digital X-rays as opposed to traditional film because the images are much sharper, take less time to develop, and they also emit up to 90% LESS radiation. We’re even able to show a patient their own X-rays just seconds after taking them, giving them a whole new level of understanding about their dental health.

iTero Digital Impression System

Creating a working model of a patient’s teeth is an important first step for many treatments, and this used to require someone to literally bite down into a physical mold containing dental putty. Fortunately, our digital impression system allows us to keep the putty safely put away. A few noncontact scans of the mouth are all we need to create an exhaustively detailed 3D digital image of the teeth and bite. This process is not only much faster than the traditional one, but it also gives us a more accurate impression, improving the quality of any treatment it is used for.

Sirona Soft Tissue Laser

Soft tissue lasers enable us to perform gentle but effective procedures on the gum tissues with the goal of creating healthier gingival tissue with no sound or vibration. They’re able to instantly eliminate gum disease bacteria and even remove infected tissue. The instrument itself creates almost no heat, sound, or vibration as it works.
