cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is an advanced imaging technology utilized when standard dental or facial x-rays fall short. Our practitioners leverage this cutting-edge technology to generate three-dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone—all in one comprehensive scan. This technology allows us to:
- Strategize surgical extractions for impacted teeth.
- Diagnose temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
- Guarantee precise implant placement.
- Assess jaw, sinuses, nerve canals, and nasal cavity.
- Analyze bone structure and tooth orientation.
iTero
The iTero digital scanning device swiftly captures highly detailed images of your teeth, facilitating the creation of various restorations such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Unlike traditional impressions, this scanner provides quality images in minutes, ensuring comfortable care.
Utilized whenever impressions are required, the iTero scanner offers detailed images that surpass traditional options in accuracy and detail. Most patients benefit from this painless and swift procedure, instilling confidence in our advanced technology.
During the scan, a small digital wand is maneuvered around your teeth, with real-time images displayed for examination. These impressions are used to craft tailored dental restorations, ensuring a comfortable fit. The scan is painless and safe for all patients.

Digital Imaging
Our dentists, carefully choose when radiographs should be taken. We follow many guidelines. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. They enable us to detect cavities between teeth, determine bone levels, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, and assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs aid in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Our dentist utilize Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information.
Digital imaging allows us to store patient images and quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.
Intraoral Camera
Our dentists utilize intraoral camera technology to help enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera, in some cases, just a few millimeters long. It allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth, and gums to make a diagnosis accurately. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that standard mirror examinations may miss.
Intraoral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, and your lab or insurance companies.
