Itero scanner
Advanced Digital Impressions for Implants
The iTero scanner revolutionizes the dental implant process by replacing uncomfortable, traditional putty molds with highly accurate 3D digital impressions . This advanced digital workflow is essential for enhanced treatment planning, allowing our doctors to capture a detailed full 3D scan of the patient's mouth for precise analysis and planning of the implant placement. These digital models are then seamlessly communicated to dental labs, enabling the fabrication of custom surgical guides for accurate implant placement and the creation of better-fitting final restorations (like crown or bridges). Ultimately, utilizing the iTero system for implants increases accuracy and precision, improves patient comfort, leads to faster treatment times, and results in more predictable outcomes due to improved collaboration between the practice and the lab.

Panorex CMT Tomographic
Similar to the medical CT scan. Panorex Imaging takes three-dimensional images of your tooth and surrounding oral structures. The clear, sharp images allow us to clearly see the tooth and its root structure as well as the jawbone, nerves and soft tissue. Since we are able to see the internal structures, we are able to detect, diagnose and treat the issues while they are small, before they cause significant damage. The Panorex also allows us to monitor any possible issues and make informed decisions about when, and if any treatment is needed.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays not only expose our patients and staff to 90% less radiation than typical film-type X-rays, but they are also more sensitive than traditional dental X-rays. Digital X-rays allow us to clearly see the entire tooth and root structure, as well as the surrounding bone and tissue. They give us the opportunity to detect and diagnose issues before they are visible to the naked eye, and before they can cause significant damage and pain.
To obtain an X-ray, a small sensor pad that is connected by a line to a computer is placed in the mouth. A beam is then sent through your teeth to the sensor that records the images. The doctors and staff can immediately pull up the digital X-rays on a computer screen to review the results. No more waiting for X-rays to be developed. We can also share the images with you so you can see what we are explaining about your oral condition.

Diagnostic Wax-Up
Diagnostic wax-ups are an invaluable tool our doctors use when restoring or creating a new smile for our patients.
Diagnostic wax-ups allow our doctors to evaluate occlusion (how the teeth are fitting together), determine how much reduction is needed to achieve final results, and determine the appropriate size and length of restorations for a natural looking smile. This assures that our patients will not only have a beautiful smile, but one that is strong, healthy and functional.
Diagnostic wax-ups allow our patients to see what their smile will look like after the proposed treatment is finished, before treatment is even started.
Once our doctors are satisfied with the function and esthetics of the wax-up models, impressions can be taken and shared with the ceramist who will be creating the restorations. This allows the ceramist to clearly see what is expected of each restoration for a perfect fit.
