2D Panoramic Imaging
A full view of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures.
In just seconds, our digital panoramic x-ray records one wide-angle 2D image that spans your entire mouth: teeth, jaw, sinuses, and supporting bone captured in a single view. That broad perspective makes panoramic imaging invaluable for evaluating wisdom teeth, planning extractions, and screening for jaw conditions.
And because the image is captured digitally, your doctor can pull it up on screen, enlarge it, and walk you through the findings together during the same appointment.
Digital Impressions: No Putty Required
Fast, precise, and completely comfortable.
Say goodbye to traditional putty impressions: the DEXIS IMPREVO is an advanced digital intraoral scanner that builds a precise 3D model of your teeth and gums instead. Small, lightweight, and wand-style, it is easy to maneuver, and most patients tell us the scan feels far more comfortable than the old impression method.
From there, the scan data flows straight into our restorative workflow, so crowns, veneers, and other restorations are designed directly from it. That removes the delays and the fit issues that tend to follow physical impressions sent to an outside lab.
Digital Radiography
Digital x-rays are the newest technology dentistry uses to take and archive dental x-rays, and they do it while significantly reducing the amount of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. The technique captures a digital picture of your teeth along with their supporting bone structures and stores the images on a computer in our dental office. Within moments, you and your doctor can view your x-rays together and enlarge the image to aid in the identification of dental problems and to gauge your dental health.
Intra-Oral Camera
About the size of a pen, the intra-oral camera is a small video camera that photographs the teeth and supporting tissue, a wonderful addition to dentistry today. It creates digital images that can be stored on a computer, and we share those images with our patients so they can join us in the "co-diagnosis" of problems with their dental health. Your doctor can show you how others view your smile and point out which dental fillings are broken or discolored.
