Digital x-rays have transformed the way we capture images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Digital radiography uses an estimated 40-90% less radiation than conventional film x-rays. Digital x-rays use a digital image capture device in place of traditional film, sending an image immediately to a computer. The result is a highly-detailed image of the mouth, and its contrast and resolution can be enhanced to more easily diagnose dental problems and determine the very best treatment for each case. This means more safety and better accuracy for you. Benefits of digital x-rays include: • Clear, high-resolution images provide unparalleled detail and accuracy when detecting dental issues • Digital x-rays significantly reduce radiation exposure, ensuring your safety without compromising on image quality • Instantaneous results allow our dental team to quickly identify concerns and develop tailored treatment plans • Visual aids from digital x-rays help patients understand their oral health conditions, empowering them to actively participate in treatment decisions • Quick and accurate imaging expedites treatment processes, reducing chair time and ensuring a smoother dental experience
Digital impressions are the most up-to-date technology used for taking impressions of the teeth. There are four major scanner systems that dentists can use: Cadent iTero, 3M ESPE Lava COS, CEREC by Sirona, and E4D by D4D Technologies. With digital impressions, you no longer have to suffer through uncomfortable traditional impression trays or temporaries. Rather, we simply scan your teeth with our impression technology to create a digital image. We then use this image to produce the restoration of choice, either on-site or through a milling lab. Once the restoration is created, we are able to blend the restoration in with your surrounding teeth, adjust as needed and give it a final polish.
Digital imaging revolutionizes the way we capture and analyze dental information. We use digital imaging software in our office for efficient diagnosis and treatment prediction. It also significantly lowers radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays, prioritizing your safety without compromising on accuracy. Our digital imaging software includes technology like intraoral cameras, digital x-rays and 3D imaging. This advanced imaging is especially beneficial for patients who are considering cosmetic procedures but are not sure if they're ready for dramatic changes. With digital imaging we can predict how a particular treatment or cosmetic procedure would change the appearance of your teeth before doing any work. Accurate and detailed imaging also assists in early detection of dental problems, leading to more effective treatments and streamlined procedures. The digital images we take of your face, teeth and smile are stored in our system and provide a permanent dental record that allows us to visually document your treatments over the years. What are the benefits of digital imaging? • Efficient diagnosis and treatment prediction • Reduced radiation exposure • Increased safety without compromising on accuracy • Accurate treatment prediction • Visually documented dental record
