We’ve got gadgets & gizmos aplenty
CBCT 3D Imaging
Our Vatech Green CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) machine lets us capture detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaws, and face with very low radiation. We can adjust the scan to focus on specific areas depending on your treatment needs.
For orthodontic treatment planning, we usually take a full-mouth scan—which actually exposes you to less radiation than traditional 2D panoramic and lateral x-rays. Full-mouth scans are also recommended for dental implants, wisdom tooth extractions, and other surgical procedures. To put it in perspective, the radiation from a full-mouth scan is about the same as what you’d get on a single transcontinental flight.
Even with this low dose, CBCT gives us a huge amount of diagnostic information that 2D x-rays can miss. With 3D imaging, we can diagnose more accurately and plan treatments more precisely. After all—you can’t treat what you can’t see. CBCT lets us get a clear picture of exactly what’s happening in your mouth.
iTero® 3D Scanner
If you’ve ever had a traditional goopy, putty-like dental impression, you’ll love our iTero 3D scanner. This digital intraoral scanner uses laser technology to take thousands of pictures of your teeth and create a precise 3D model—with no radiation at all.
We use the iTero scanner for Invisalign®, orthodontic treatment planning, retainers, nightguards, crowns, bridges, dental implants, and other dental appliances. A full-arch scan takes just about 60 seconds, so no more waiting forever for messy impression material to set.
Formlabs 3D Printer
Using the digital scans from our iTero® 3D scanner, we can 3D print precise models of your teeth and create custom retainers and clear aligners—all with a fast turnaround.
Pearl AI Second Opinion®
We use real-time dental AI to analyze your x-rays and automatically detect a wide range of conditions, giving us a “second set of eyes” for greater accuracy. This technology helps us catch issues early, reduces the chance of anything being missed, and ensures your treatment plan is as precise and effective as possible. Combined with our expert team, AI helps us provide smarter, safer, and more thorough care for every patient.
The blue circles outline where decay has extended into the inner layer of dentin within the tooth, which is an indication that the tooth should be restored with fillings.
CariVu™ Caries Detector
The CariVu™ is a cutting-edge device we use to spot cavities and cracks in your teeth. It uses safe, non-ionizing laser light to see areas that traditional x-rays might miss, making it perfect for children, pregnant patients, or anyone who prefers to avoid x-rays. The CariVu™ also helps us determine the true size of a cavity, so we can provide more precise and conservative treatment when possible.
