CBCT Digital Scanner Technology

Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed three-dimensional views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This special type of x-ray equipment uses cone-shaped beams of radiation to capture 150-200 high-resolution images in less than a minute, which are then digitally combined to form a comprehensive 3D image.

CBCT Technology Benefits:

• Comprehensive 3D Imaging – View bone structure, nerve pathways, and soft tissues in unprecedented detail
• Precise Implant Planning – Plan exact implant placement for optimal success and safety
• Enhanced Endodontic Treatment – Evaluate root canal complexity and surrounding tissue health
• Reduced Radiation Exposure – Low-dose mode delivers 3D images at up to 86% lower dose than traditional 2D panoramic images
• Immediate Results – Images available instantly for real-time treatment planning
• Surgical Planning – Plan complex oral surgeries with detailed anatomical information

Since a CBCT scan shows all your bones, nerves, and soft tissues in high detail, this allows us to diagnose your health and plan our treatment approach before we even begin a procedure. This technology is particularly valuable for dental implant surgery, orthodontic treatment planning, and diagnosing complex dental conditions that require detailed anatomical visualization.

iTero Digital Scanner

Our iTero intraoral scanner replaces traditional impressions with accurate digital models of your teeth and gums. The iTero Element intraoral scanner uses parallel confocal imaging technology with optical and laser scanning to capture accurate scans in color.

iTero Scanner Advantages:

• Comfortable Digital Impressions – No more gagging while getting a dental impression, no more goop, no more discomfort
• Immediate Visualization – Watch your scan appear in real-time on our monitor
• Enhanced Accuracy – Full arch scans can be taken in as little as 60 seconds with high precision
• Clear Aligner Planning – Scans can be used to plan clear aligner treatment
• Treatment Simulation – Preview your potential treatment outcomes before beginning
• Progress Tracking – Monitor treatment progress with Time Lapse technology

The iTero scanner uses a small wand gently moved around the patient’s mouth to capture highly accurate, three-dimensional images of the patient’s teeth and gums. This technology enhances both restorative and orthodontic workflows while providing patients with a more comfortable and engaging experience.

Digital X-Ray Technology

Our digital radiography system provides clear, detailed images with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays. Digital radiology has overtaken conventional screen-film radiography since it was introduced in the mid-1980s, using sensors and computer-based image display.

Digital X-Ray Benefits:

• 90% Less Radiation – Digital X-rays use 80% to 90% less radiation than traditional ones
• Instant Image Viewing – No waiting for film development; images appear immediately
• Enhanced Image Quality – Digital radiographic images can be interactively manipulated after image acquisition, with contrast, blur and noise altered digitally
• Easy Storage and Sharing – Digital images stored permanently without degradation
• Environmental Benefits – No need to develop x-rays, eliminating disposal of harmful waste and chemicals into the environment
• Improved Diagnostics – Enhanced image manipulation for better cavity and disease detection

Digital X-rays help your dentist find a wide range of oral health issues, including cavities, bone loss, infections, and are key for treatment planning and post-op healing. Our commitment to patient safety and diagnostic excellence makes digital X-rays an essential component of comprehensive dental care.

Intraoral Camera Technology

Our high-definition intraoral cameras provide detailed visual documentation and patient education capabilities that enhance both diagnosis and treatment acceptance. These small, high-resolution cameras provide detailed images of the inside of the mouth, offering a level of precision and clarity previously unattainable with traditional dental tools.

Intraoral Camera Features:

• Crystal Clear Images – High-definition video and still images of your oral cavity
• Real-Time Visualization – See exactly what we see during your examination
• Patient Education – Visually educating patients about their oral health and empowering them with knowledge
• Treatment Documentation – Detailed visual records for insurance and progress tracking
• Enhanced Communication – Show before, during, and after treatment results
• Early Problem Detection – Identify issues that might be missed with traditional examination methods

Not only do they allow for early detection and accurate diagnosis of dental issues, but they also empower patients by visually educating them about their oral health. This technology significantly improves case acceptance and helps patients understand the importance of recommended treatments.

Digital Denture Technology

Our CAD/CAM digital denture fabrication combines precision engineering with patient comfort. Digital dentures utilize computer software to capture impressions, design dentures, create a mockup and a final denture without relying upon traditional impression materials, lab plaster, or stone.

Digital Denture Advantages:

• Precise Fit and Comfort – CAD/CAM laboratory processing reduces guesswork and manual steps throughout the process
• Faster Delivery – What used to take 50+ days and 6 or more appointments can now be done in 10 days with just two or three appointments
• Precise Measurements – Virtual models don’t have bubbles, voids, or uncertain demarcations. Measurements are exact and reproducible
• Easy Replacement – File storage makes it possible to replace lost or broken dentures and deliver them in a single appointment
• Improved Retention – CAD-CAM CDs displayed better retention than conventional CDs
• Cost-Effective – Fabrication of CAD-CAM CDs required less chairside time and lower overall costs than conventional CDs

CAD-CAM CDs should be considered for completely edentulous patients whenever possible, since this technique offers numerous advantages including better retention, mechanical and surface properties but most importantly preserves a digital record.

3D Printing Technology

Our in-house 3D printing capabilities enable us to manufacture custom dental appliances with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The most common types of 3D printing technology in dentistry are stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), and material jetting (MJ), allowing us to create a wide range of dental products.

3D Printing Applications:

• Custom Surgical Guides – Precisely manufactured guides for implant placement and oral surgery
• Orthodontic Models – High end SLA printers have the ability to produce orthodontic aligners, surgical guides, splints, occlusal guards
• Dental Models – Accurate study models for treatment planning and patient education
• Temporary Restorations – Temporary crowns and bridges while your final restoration is made
• Night Guards and Splints – Custom-fitted protective appliances
• Prosthetic Components – Precise dental parts manufactured on-demand

Technology Benefits:

• Faster Production – 3D printing can shorten the time it takes to make some dental appliances
• Enhanced Accuracy – The accuracy achieved through dental 3D printing is comparable to or surpasses traditional dental device manufacturing methods
• Cost Efficiency – Flexibility in 3D printers to produce multiple dental products, allowing rapid manufacturing with shorter turnaround times, improved labor productivity, and reduced costs
• Material Innovation – New biocompatible materials specifically designed for dental applications have been developed alongside the advances in 3D printing technology

3D printing has proven to be a more efficient and cost-effective system to embrace an in-house workflow. Dentists can produce custom-made dental appliances in a fraction of the time using traditional methods.
