Dental Technology

CEREC technology lets us make strong, beautiful ceramic restorations in one visit. This removes the need for many visits and temporary crowns. This computer-aided design and manufacturing system takes exact digital impressions of your teeth. It makes custom crowns, veneers, and inlays with great accuracy. You can watch as your restoration is milled from high-quality ceramic material right in our office, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.

The iTero scanner changes how we take impressions. It creates detailed 3D digital models of your teeth and gums. It does this without the discomfort of traditional materials. This advanced intraoral scanner captures thousands of images per second to generate precise digital impressions that improve treatment planning and outcomes. The technology enables us to show you real-time visualizations of your oral health and potential treatment results, helping you make informed decisions about your care.

Digital X-ray technology gives instant, high-quality images. It also cuts radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. These detailed images can be enhanced, enlarged, and analyzed immediately, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. The digital format also enables us to easily share images with specialists when needed and store them securely in your electronic health record.

Electronic handpieces give steady power and precision during dental work. This results in smoother, more comfortable treatments with less vibration and noise. These advanced tools give better control and efficiency. They let us prepare teeth more carefully and save healthy tooth structure. Better ergonomics and less hand fatigue let our team work with more accuracy and comfort. This helps both patients and practitioners.

The iTero scanner uses advanced optical technology to capture thousands of images per second, creating a highly detailed 3D digital model of your teeth and gums. The handheld wand is moved around your mouth to capture images from multiple angles, which are then processed by sophisticated software to create precise digital impressions. This process eliminates the need for traditional putty impressions and provides immediate results that can be viewed on screen in real-time.

The iTero intraoral scanner captures detailed images of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures to create comprehensive 3D digital models. It scans the surface contours, bite relationships, and tissue health to provide a complete picture of your oral anatomy. The scanner can detect areas of concern, such as worn teeth, gaps, and alignment issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Yes, you have the right to refuse dental X-rays, as informed consent is required for all dental procedures and diagnostic tests. X-rays are important tools for diagnosis. They help find problems not seen during a clinical exam. These include cavities between teeth, bone loss, and infections. Refusing X-rays may limit your dentist’s ability to provide comprehensive care and could result in undiagnosed conditions that worsen over time.

Modern digital X-rays are very safe. They expose you to much less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The exposure is similar to natural background radiation. The amount of radiation from dental X-rays is minimal and well within safe limits established by regulatory agencies. Our digital X-ray systems include additional safety features such as lead aprons and thyroid collars to further minimize exposure.

A dental handpiece is a precision instrument that dentists use to remove tooth structure, shape teeth, and perform various dental procedures. Electronic handpieces use advanced motor systems. They give steady power and better control than traditional air-driven handpieces. These tools have ergonomic features and noise reduction technology. They improve patient comfort during dental work.
