Primescan Digital Scan
The Primescan is a digital intraoral camera that takes pictures of a patient’s mouth for highly accurate impressions. The digital scan doesn’t take long and is faster than traditional impressions. Our team uses the Primescan to scan your full arch of teeth in just a few minutes. The handheld device is perfect for checking your teeth, gums, and oral health, which we can observe on a nearby monitor for a closer examination. The Primescan advanced dental technology also helps us plan and design crowns and veneers.
CBCT Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced dental technology that allows us to take a 3D scan of your entire jaw and skull, as well as your teeth, bones, soft tissues, and nerve pathways. The pictures give our team exact digital images of your mouth with minimal radiation exposure. With a clear view of your craniofacial region, we can see what dental treatments may be necessary and recommend treatment. At our office, we use the Sirona Orthophos SL for all of our cone beam 3D imaging.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Digital dental x-rays are convenient, efficient, and safe for taking accurate images of your teeth. The digital x-ray process gives our dental team near-instant pictures of your teeth and bones with 80 percent less radiation than traditional x-rays. Intraoral digital x-rays take pictures inside your mouth to reveal decay, bone density, root infections, fractures, tooth development, and placement. Extraoral digital x-rays take pictures outside the mouth to give a wide view of the jaw, show impacted teeth, evaluate the jaw joint, and plan treatments like braces.
CEREC® MCXL and CEREC® Primemill
The CEREC® Primemill allows us to create dental restorations like crowns, inlays, veneers, bridges, and abutments in our office. Advanced dental technology uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to give you restorations in as little as one visit to the dentist. With our digital impression technology, you can get a scan instead of biting into mold-making impressions, and the CEREC® Primemill makes extremely precise, esthetic results. Patients are able to get a permanent crown on the same day.
CO2 Laser Treatment
Our dental team uses CO2 laser treatment for pain-free dental fillings, bacteria removal, teeth whitening, crown lengthening, periodontal therapy, and many other treatments. Laser dentistry is a less invasive way to repair gum tissue, remove cavities, and reduce bleeding during dental treatment. A major benefit of CO2 laser treatment is that it sterilizes the oral area being treated, lowers the risk of infection, and accelerates the healing process. Lasers can also reveal wisdom teeth, restore damaged nerves, treat sleep apnea, and even remove benign tumors.
