Digital Dental X-Rays

Digital X-rays have been a part of the dental world for quite some time now; however, this does not diminish the fact that they produce higher-resolution images and are a safer radiography solution for patients. Emitting far less radiation than traditional film, these scans make it easy (and quicker) for our team to see what is going on inside a patient’s mouth, allowing us to formulate treatment plans that are more accurate and thorough than before.

CT/Cone Beam Scanner

A cone beam scanner is commonly used when more invasive dental treatment is required. For example, dental implant placement is a process that involves many different components, one of which is determining the depth and density of a person’s jawbone. This device scans the head, taking hundreds of images, before generating a 3D model that showcases the teeth, gums, bones, blood vessels, nerve pathways, and more. As a result, we can develop plans that guarantee optimal precision when it comes to implant placement.

Digital Dental Impression System

Restorations of the past were created using cold, messy dental putty. When patients bit down, it often induced a gag reflex that made the experience unpleasant and uncomfortable. However, times have changed, thankfully, and our team now uses digital dental impressions. Using a handheld scanner, we can take images of a patient’s teeth, which are projected onto a nearby screen so that a three-dimensional image is created. It is then transferred to a lab so that technicians can properly build a new tooth or set of teeth with greater accuracy.

Soft Tissue Laser

Laser dentistry may be a newer advancement in the field, but it is certainly making an impression. Making it easier to perform procedures on patients’ soft oral tissues, we can target harmful bacteria and infected tissues much more precisely as well as remove excessive gum tissue to create more uniform smiles. Designed with optimal precision and the ability to reduce infection, bleeding, and swelling, our soft tissue laser allows patients to enjoy shorter recovery times than before.

Cavity Detection System

Cavities remain the leading oral health problem among individuals. To combat this problem, our Easton Dental Specialists team is here to detect possible decay early on so that more serious damage does not occur. Thanks to our cavity detection system, the device can highlight portions of the mouth that exhibit even the smallest amount of tooth decay. This makes it easier to diagnose a problem in its earliest stages and administer treatment before it has a chance to spread.
