Dental Technology

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced type of X-ray technology used when standard dental or facial X-rays don’t provide enough detail. This 3D imaging system captures highly detailed views of your teeth, jaw, bone, and surrounding structures in a single scan.

Unlike traditional CT scans, CBCT machines are smaller, more cost-efficient, and designed for dental offices. They provide clear images of bone and dental structures, making them especially useful for diagnosing jaw conditions, planning surgeries, locating impacted teeth, evaluating TMJ disorders, and placing dental implants with precision. While CBCT is less effective for soft tissue imaging compared to a full CT scan, it’s an invaluable tool for accurate treatment planning in dentistry.

CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is an advanced system that allows us to design and place custom crowns, veneers, and other restorations in a single visit. Using digital impressions and 3D technology, CEREC® creates precise, natural-looking restorations without the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments.

Patients benefit from faster treatment, long-lasting ceramic materials, and results that blend seamlessly with their natural smile.

The iTero digital scanner, introduced in 2007, allows dentists to take quick, precise 3D scans of your mouth, without messy impressions. This technology is commonly used to create accurate models for crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners.

By capturing high-resolution digital images, iTero helps identify potential issues during treatment and ensures restorations or aligners fit comfortably and effectively. It makes dental care faster, cleaner, and more precise.

Since their introduction in 1987, digital X-rays have transformed dental imaging by combining computer technology with minimal radiation exposure. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing for quick diagnosis and easy sharing between dental providers.

Benefits of digital X-rays include:

• Lower Cost – No film or developing process needed.
• Better Storage – Records are securely stored and easily transferred.
• Sharper Images – Up to 256 shades of grey compared to 25 with film, offering greater detail and accuracy.

Digital radiography provides a clearer, more comprehensive view of your oral health, supporting better diagnosis and care.

The BIOLASE Epic X is a versatile dental laser used for soft tissue procedures, pain therapy, and teeth whitening. It allows for gentler, more precise treatment with less bleeding, swelling, and recovery time compared to traditional methods.

From reshaping gums to managing oral lesions, the Epic X delivers comfortable care with minimal need for anesthesia. It also enhances whitening treatments, giving patients brighter smiles in less time.

The Solea laser is a breakthrough in modern dentistry, offering virtually pain-free, drill-free, and anesthesia-free treatment. This advanced dental laser replaces the traditional drill in many procedures, providing a quiet, comfortable, and stress-free experience.

Most patients don’t require numbing injections because Solea eliminates pain, vibration, and the typical noise of dental work. This technology allows for faster, gentler treatment, helping patients feel relaxed and confident during their visit.
