Technology

Cone Beam technology provides a digital tomographic 3D view of the patient’s area of interest. A traditional x-ray is only two-dimensional. With Cone Beam systems the doctor is able to get a full 360 degree view of the tooth and all surrounding areas.

Our office uses a VATECH full field scanner, the only scanner FDA approved for pediatrics. The scanner provides nearly limitless views of the teeth while using less radiation than traditional medical CT technology. The size of the area being scanned is adjustable so as to limit the radiation exposure to as little as is necessary. This new technology is fast, simple and painless, providing many wonderful benefits that were unavailable only a few years ago.

Impressions have traditionally involved making a mold of your teeth using trays filled with a soft, messy, and often bad-tasting material that would harden around the patients' teeth and gums, creating a precise model that is then used by the doctors and the lab to plan treatment and create final restorations.

The digital scanner provides a new, comfortable, and precise way for our office to take digital impressions of patients' teeth. Taking accurate impressions of a patient’s teeth is a highly important part of a large number of dental and orthodontic procedures. 

In addition to being much more comfortable for the patient, using the scanner allows us to be more efficient and accurate, which can result in a reduced number of visits to the office, saving the patient time.

Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays.  The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment.  Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film.  Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care.  It’s also a very green technology.  By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!
