Why Patients Love Our Advanced Technology
- Digital X-rays for Faster Diagnosis & Less Radiation
- Digital Scanner Instead of Goopy Impressions for Faster (& Cleaner!) Record-Taking
- Intraoral Cameras to Capture Real Issues Patients Can’t Often See
CBCT Scanner
Our CBCT scanner sees quite a lot of regular use in our office; it’s an invaluable instrument when it comes to 3D imaging. This state-of-the-art technology provides highly detailed images of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT captures a complete 3D view in a single, quick scan with minimal radiation exposure.
Intraoral Cameras
With our Mouthwatch intraoral camera, we’ll finally take the mystery out of your dental care! This small, handheld device is tipped with a high-resolution camera that can capture close-up images of the teeth and gums, which we can instantly show you on a monitor right in the treatment room. You’ll finally be able to see your smile from your dentist’s point of view, making it much easier to understand your current dental health and why you might need a particular treatment (but we won’t make you look if you don’t want to!).
Digital Impression System
Our digital impression system replaces the need for traditional messy (and uncomfortable) molds with a fast and highly accurate alternative. Using advanced scanning technology, we can capture precise 3D images of your teeth and gums in just minutes, rather than needing to take physical impressions using that gooey, foul-tasting material you might remember. While traditional impressions have their place, these scans can then be used to create better-fitting and more lifelike restorations like crowns, bridges, and more.
Soft Tissue Laser
Treating the gums used to require a scalpel and sutures, but now, Dr. Whitaker is able to quickly and painlessly eliminate bacteria causing gum disease and even provide cosmetic gum lifts using our precise diode soft tissue laser. Its concentrated beam of light can vaporize bacteria and remove excess tissue while also reducing bleeding, swelling, and discomfort to the point that they practically disappear.
Digital X-Rays
Compared to traditional film-based X-rays, digital X-rays are a huge leap forward in every way. They help us capture diagnostic images in much less time, they don’t require toxic chemicals to be developed, plus they reduce radiation exposure by up to 80%, giving many of our patients peace of mind.
