Breakthroughs in Imaging & X-Rays

Computerized cosmetic dentistry gives us, and the patient, an excellent chance to get a really good look at the teeth, and view the potential results of dental procedures in advance. These imaging and x-ray techniques are a boon to patients and dentists.

Cosmetic Imaging: Cosmetic imaging software allows us to show clients how their teeth would appear as the result of one or more procedures.

The dentist takes a picture of the patient's smile with a digital camera, and then customizes the results on the computer screen to lighten, straighten and/or reshape teeth. Patients can customize the smile to their specifications. The process takes about 30 minutes.

Panoramic X-Ray: The digital panoramic x-ray unit is more comfortable and convenient for patients than conventional machines. Developed by Sirona,
formerly Siemens Dental, with their leading edge technology, it uses the most advanced low radiation technology. Because the x-ray shows the mouth seamlessly from all sides, we can actually see 70% more than with multiple single x-rays, allowing us to localize problems with teeth, sinuses, and jaws. The process itself is much more comfortable because we do not put film in the patient's mouth. The Panoramic X-ray unit is also wheel chair accessible.

Digital X-Ray: Compared with conventional x-rays, the dose of radiation has been reduced by about 80%. Digital x-rays are viewable in seconds on the computer screen, and allow the dentist to enhance the image for the greatest diagnostic effect.
