3D CT & Cone Beam Imaging
Cone Beam CT scanning provides detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This technology allows dentists to evaluate areas that may not be visible with traditional X-rays.
Cone beam imaging is often used for:
- Planning Dental Implants
- Evaluating bone structure before procedures
- Diagnosing complex dental conditions
- Assessing impacted teeth
- Supporting precise surgical planning
The detailed images help dentists plan treatments with greater accuracy and predictability.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide clear images of the teeth and jaw while using significantly less radiation compared to traditional film X-rays.
Types of digital X-rays used in our office include:
- Panoramic X-rays that capture a full view of the teeth and jaw
- Nomad X-rays, a portable imaging system used during dental exams
These images allow dentists to detect cavities, infections, bone loss, and other dental issues early.
Digital imaging is commonly used during Cleanings & Exams to monitor oral health.
Intra-Oral Cameras
Intra-oral cameras are small handheld cameras that allow dentists and patients to view highly detailed images of the teeth and gums in real time.
These cameras help:
- Detect small areas of decay or damage
- Show patients detailed images of their oral health
- Improve communication during dental visits
- Monitor existing restorations or dental concerns
Patients can better understand their treatment needs by seeing the images captured during their exam.
Digital Impressions with iTero
Traditional dental impressions can sometimes be uncomfortable for patients. Digital impressions with the iTero scanner provide a modern alternative that captures highly detailed images of the teeth using advanced scanning technology.
Digital impressions are commonly used for:
- Invisalign & Clear Aligners
- Crowns and restorations
- Dental implant planning
- Orthodontic appliances
The digital scan creates an accurate 3D model of the teeth, improving both comfort and precision.
Laser Dentistry
Laser-assisted dental treatments allow dentists to perform certain procedures with increased precision and reduced discomfort.
Laser dentistry may be used for:

- Gum contouring and cosmetic treatments
- Treating gum disease

Laser technology can help minimize bleeding and promote faster healing in some cases.
