Our team works hard to ensure each and every patient receives care with precision and accuracy, so they can enjoy optimal results and a positive treatment experience. As part of the process, we will often incorporate digital imaging systems and other technologies. In today’s blog, your Mansfield, TX, dentist talks about the advanced tech we use to treat your smile!
Digital X-Rays and Intraoral Cameras
When we want to diagnose the interior of your teeth or the jaw or key oral structures, we will use x-rays. Instead of traditional dental x-rays, we offer a digital alternative. With this option we don’t need you to bite down on uncomfortable bitewings. Instead, we can obtain the images quickly and comfortably, and then transfer directly to chairside monitors. There is also no need for a lengthy development period using harsh and environmentally-unsafe chemicals.
If we want to see the surfaces of your teeth and gums in detail, which can aid in diagnosing issues like tooth decay, periodontal concerns, and even TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding), we could use intraoral cameras. Again, this is a digital system that provides high-definition and detailed images quickly and comfortably.
Chairside Monitors
Our digital images and x-rays will be transferred right away to our chairside monitors, which means we can make a diagnosis quickly and comfortably, and walk you through the process, so you better understand the state of your smile and the treatments we may prescribe to improve your oral health and bite function.
3D Printing
What if we need to create custom dental restorations, prosthetics, or oral appliances? Then we can use CAD/CAM imaging and 3D printing technology! Our team can use a minuscule digital camera at the end of a thin wand to obtain images of your bite from multiple angles in a comfortable and fast manner. We combine these images to create a detailed 3D model of your smile, no need for molds and gooey materials. We then design your restoration or prosthetic, and use 3D printed to craft them in-office with precision and accuracy. If you have any questions about how we employ digital technology to diagnose your smile, and plan treatment, or how we create custom crowns, bridges, and more, then contact our office to say! We want to help you on your journey to optimal oral health, so reach out soon.
