Whether it’s our digital X-rays or CBCT scanner, we can view high-resolution images that make it easy and more convenient for us to build accurate treatment plans that benefit all patients. Review the details below and call us if you have any questions.
Digital X-Rays
Traditional radiographs were once the only way to retrieve images that allowed dentists to see beneath the gumline. Not only did it take up much of a patient’s appointment trying to capture these images, but the machines emitted high levels of radiation. Fortunately, all of that has changed thanks to our digital X-ray system. Instead of taking time to develop the scans in a darkroom, the photos appear almost instantly on a nearby monitor, and the device emits up to 90% less radiation for a safer method of care.
CBCT Scanner
When digital X-rays are not enough to see the intricate details that are required for more complex restorative treatment (i.e., dental implant placement or root canals), we use our CBCT scanner. Consisting of a 360-degree rotating arm, the device takes hundreds of images of your face, mouth, and head to produce a single 3D image. This allows our team to carefully examine your teeth, gums, jawbones, and other blood vessels and nerve pathways to formulate a more accurate treatment plan.
