Digital X-Rays & Accurate Imaging
Digital X-Rays offer a fast, safe way to see what’s happening below the surface of your smile. They use significantly less radiation than traditional film and produce clear images in seconds. This allows our dental care providers to detect concerns early and explain treatment options right away.
- Lower radiation exposure: Uses up to 90% less radiation than film X-Rays for safer diagnostics.
- Immediate image viewing: Images display instantly for faster evaluation and planning.
- Streamlined communication: Digital files can be shared quickly with other providers if needed.
- No chemical waste: Eliminates film and harmful processing materials.
3D CBCT Imaging & Full-Mouth Views
3D CBCT imaging gives us a complete, detailed view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures in one quick scan. This technology is valuable for planning implants, guiding oral surgery, and assessing complex dental conditions. With precise imaging, your treatment can be planned with confidence from the start.
- Comprehensive 3D scans: Shows bone density, tooth roots, and nerve pathways in high detail.
- Ideal for surgical planning: Guides safe implant placement and complex extractions.
- Low radiation technology: Uses less exposure than medical CT scans while maintaining clarity.
- Quick, comfortable process: The scan takes less than a minute to complete.
CEREC® & Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology allows us to design and place a permanent crown in a single visit. Digital scans replace traditional impressions, and your crown is crafted in-office to match your bite and tooth color. It’s a convenient solution that saves time while providing a natural look.
- One-visit restorations: Receive your crown the same day without a temporary.
- Digital impressions: Comfortable scanning process with no messy impression trays.
- High-precision design: Computer-aided milling creates a precise fit for lasting comfort.
- Strong ceramic material: Made from durable, tooth-colored materials.
3D Printing & Personalized Appliances
Our in-office 3D printer allows us to create custom dental models, retainers, and surgical guides without sending cases to an outside lab. This shortens wait times and ensures every detail is tailored to your needs. It’s a versatile tool that supports a wide range of treatments.
- Fast appliance turnaround: Many appliances can be ready in days instead of weeks.
- Improved fit and comfort: Printed directly from your digital scan for accuracy.
- Multiple uses: Ideal for orthodontics, surgical guides, and study models.

T-Scan™ & Digital Bite Analysis
T-Scan is an advanced system that measures the timing and pressure of your bite. It provides data that traditional bite paper cannot, helping us detect imbalances that may cause jaw discomfort or wear on teeth. This makes it an excellent tool for fine-tuning restorations and supporting TMD treatment.
- Real-time bite mapping: Measures exactly when and where your teeth make contact.
- Restoration adjustments: Ensures crowns, bridges, or veneers feel natural.
- TMD support: Identifies uneven forces that can strain the jaw joints.
- Quick, non-invasive test: Comfortable process completed during your visit.
