Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral camera allows you to see your smile from our team’s perspective. It’s a small device that fits easily in the mouth and can capture high-resolution images of the teeth and gums that we can display on a large monitor right next to the chair. It not only helps our team perform more thorough exams, but it also makes your dental care more transparent, as we can actually show you a potential problem area so you can better understand what’s going on.
All-Digital X-Rays
X-rays have been an essential diagnostic tool in dentistry for decades, and with the invention of digital x-rays, they are even better than before. Our machine can create high-quality images much faster, and we can even instantly show them to you on a chairside monitor. Plus, unlike conventional x-rays, they don’t require harsh chemicals to be processed (which is much better for our environment), and they even emit up to 90% less radiation.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
This highly advanced scanner enables us to create a fully 3D model of your teeth as well as your jaw. Using this model, we can more precisely plan procedures to ensure better results and reduce your recovery time. Using this scanner is often the first step in placing dental implants or performing a wisdom tooth extraction. With it, we can provide more personalized care and make your smile look even more beautiful.
Digital Impression System
When getting crowns, bridges, or dentures, a patient often had to get an impression taken using dental putty. This experience was usually very uncomfortable, and it even caused some patients to gag. Therefore, we now offer the 3M Digital Impression System. It can create a fully 3D model of your bite without using cold, messy dental putty. Plus, the impression it takes is a much more accurate one, meaning any treatments we use it for will fit better, last longer, and be more comfortable.
