Staying at the forefront of technology is essential for providing the best possible care for our patients. Digital dentistry represents a revolutionary shift in dental care, harnessing cutting-edge technology to enhance precision, comfort, and efficiency. This modern approach encompasses Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), digital X-rays, and digital impressions.

CBCT

CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, is an advanced imaging technology that captures highly detailed 3D images of your oral and maxillofacial structures. CBCTs offer numerous advantages for both patients and dental professionals, notably their ability to provide detailed three-dimensional radiographic images while keeping radiation exposure much lower compared to a traditional medical CT scan.

Efficiency and Treatment Precision

CBCTs deliver imaging results swiftly and efficiently, eliminating the need for lengthy waiting times associated with traditional imaging techniques. The immediate access to high-quality three-dimensional radiographic images supports real-time discussions with patients and allows for comprehensive treatment planning. This efficiency not only saves time but also enhances the precision of periodontal care.

DIGITAL X-RAYS

Sharper, Safer Imaging

Traditional film X-rays were the standard for many years, but digital X-rays have emerged as a superior alternative. Digital X-rays provide high-resolution images that allow periodontists to detect even the smallest signs of periodontal disease, bone loss, or other oral health issues. This level of detail helps in making a more accurate diagnosis, which, in turn, leads to better treatment planning.

Efficiency and Convenience

Digital X-rays are not only safer but also more efficient. Gone are the days of waiting for film X-rays to develop. With digital X-rays, images are instantly available on a computer screen, allowing for immediate review and discussion with patients. This real-time feedback facilitates a better understanding of the patient's condition and fosters more informed treatment decisions.

3D-Intraoral Scanning

Sharper, Safer Imaging

Among the most transformative advancements in recent years is the adoption of digital impressions and 3D scanning. Digital impressions and 3D scanning offer a host of benefits, making them invaluable tools for both patients and dental professionals.

Comfort and Convenience

One of the standout advantages of digital impressions and 3D scanning is the enhanced comfort they offer to patients. Say goodbye to the discomfort and mess associated with traditional impression materials. Digital scanning is a non-invasive, quick, and comfortable process that provides a more pleasant experience for patients, particularly those with oral sensitivities.

In just minutes, an accurate 3D representation of your mouth’s surfaces is generated. This is done by scanning the interior of your mouth with a specialized camera scanner. As the camera traces the surface structures of your mouth, next-generation software analyzes the images and uses an algorithm to construct an intricate 3d surface anatomy of your oral cavity.
