Whether we are diagnosing your smile or creating custom treatment options, we will employ advanced imaging technology as part of the process. From digital x-rays to 3D digital impressions, we can offer care with greater precision and accuracy with advanced technology. In today’s blog, Celina Family Dentistry looks at how we help smiles with digital dental technology.
Diagnosing Your Smile
The key to successful treatment and lifelike results is proper diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. To do this, we start with a look at the surfaces of your smile with an intraoral camera, which can gather detailed images from multiple angles quickly and comfortably. This can help us diagnose tooth decay and periodontal issues.
We also have digital x-rays, so we can peer beneath the gums and into the tooth structure to assess decay, infection, disease, and more. No bitewings, and the images are high-definition and sent to a chairside monitor right away! All while using 90% less radiation.
Our team can also use the advanced VELscope system to diagnose oral cancer with precision, catching it early, and detailed panoramic images of your entire smile are possible with CBCT imaging, allowing us to see into the teeth, examine the roots, and assess nerves and more from several angles.
Digital Impressions
To create custom oral appliances, restorations, and dental prosthetics, we need to take impressions of your bite. Instead of having you bite down on a metal mold filled with gooey materials, our team could instead create digital impressions. The iTero® 3D scanner allows us to take images of your teeth from several angles quickly and with precision. We then combine these to make a 3D impression of your bite, allowing us to design crowns, bridges, and more with accuracy. The process ensures a better fit and a more lifelike appearance and balanced bite.
Custom Restorations, Prosthetics, and Appliances
Our team can craft crowns, bridges, and implant restorations from lifelike and durable materials, such as ceramic, to ensure they can handle daily bite forces and look natural, and the process is aided throughout with digital imaging. If you have missing teeth, we can plan and guide the placement of dental implants, and even craft appliances to treat issues like TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding) and sleep apnea.
