Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays while providing clear, detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone. The images appear instantly on our screen, allowing us to diagnose issues more accurately and quickly. Digital X-rays are also more environmentally friendly since they don’t require chemical processing. This technology helps us catch problems early and create more precise treatment plans for your long-term dental health.

Panoramic X-Rays

Panoramic X-rays give us a full view of your entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure—all in one image. This type of X-ray is especially helpful for evaluating wisdom teeth, jaw alignment, and bone health before procedures like dental implants or extractions. The process is quick and non-invasive, and the image helps us plan treatment more effectively while providing a complete picture of your oral health.

Smile Preview Software

Our smile preview software allows you to see a realistic digital simulation of your potential results before starting cosmetic or restorative treatment. Using advanced imaging, we can show how treatments like veneers, bonding, or clear aligner therapy could enhance your smile—right on the screen. This helps you feel confident about your treatment choices and gives you a clear picture of your future smile. It’s a powerful tool that supports personalized care and better communication throughout your smile journey.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that allows us to take high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. These images help us detect issues that may be hard to see with the naked eye, such as small cracks, cavities, or signs of gum disease. The pictures are displayed on a screen, so you can see exactly what we see during your exam. It’s a great tool for both diagnosis and patient education.

Digital Dental Impressions

Digital impressions offer a faster, more comfortable alternative to traditional impression materials. Using a small, handheld scanner, we capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums in real time—no messy trays or putty required. The digital images provide a precise model for designing crowns, bridges, clear aligner trays, and other restorations. This technology improves accuracy, reduces the need for adjustments, and helps ensure a better overall fit and experience for our patients.

CBCT Technology

CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scans provide a 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses, giving us an incredibly detailed look at your oral structures. This advanced imaging is especially useful for planning dental implants, evaluating jaw joint issues, and diagnosing complex dental concerns. The scan takes just a few seconds and delivers high-resolution images with minimal radiation. With CBCT technology, we can plan treatment with greater precision and confidence.
