Digital X-Rays
Today’s digital dental X-rays are an impressive step up from the film X-rays dentists have traditionally used. For one, they produce significantly less radiation, making them safer, which can certainly set your mind at ease if you’re a parent. They also capture much clearer images in a fraction of the time, leading to faster and more accurate diagnoses and, in turn, more effective treatments.

Intraoral Cameras
It can be hard to visualize what your dentist is talking about when they describe a particular oral health problem. With our intraoral cameras, that’s not an issue. This pen-shaped device has a tiny camera that displays high-definition images of your mouth on a chairside screen in real-time. If you have any type of dental health issue, you no longer have to take our word for it – you can see for yourself!

CBCT Scanner
As detailed as modern X-rays are, they don’t provide all the information we need within the oral cavity. A cone beam CT scanner, on the other hand, shows us much more detail for better diagnosis and planning for advanced procedures. For instance, if you want dental implants, we use the CBCT scanner to create a 3D image of your oral cavity, which reveals not only bone tissue density and teeth but also where blood vessels and nerve endings are located. With this level of detail, we can precisely plan where to place the implant and avoid complications.
iTero Digital Impressions
When it comes to getting a restoration or oral appliance, accuracy is key. Otherwise, you’ll have an uncomfortable fit. Traditionally, impressions are taken with a putty-like casting material that’s pressed against the upper and lower arches. This method is unpleasant for patients and can result in human error with one false move. With our iTero digital impression system, a small device fits comfortably in your mouth and scans the inside, giving us a model of your teeth within minutes. As a result, you can have a more enjoyable experience in the chair and a better fitting restoration or appliance.
