Advanced Technology

At our dental office, we prioritize your care by incorporating state-of-the-art technology, including Digital X-rays, Cone Beam Computed Tomography, a CEREC intraoral scanner and mill, and 3D printing. Read below to learn more about these advances that help optimize your dental care:

Digital Imaging and X-rays

Drs. Chenet or Yu chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see things we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone levels, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. In fact, digital X-rays can offer enhanced precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays result in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you in less time when compared to traditional radiographs. Because of all of these reasons, Drs. Chenet and Yu utilize Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. to help retrieve valuable diagnostic information to ensure you are getting the proper diagnosis for care.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a cutting-edge dental imaging technology that offers detailed, 3D views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT captures comprehensive images with remarkable clarity, allowing your dentist to assess your oral health with unparalleled precision. This technology is often used to plan procedures like dental implants, root canal treatments, and orthodontics, ensuring accurate diagnoses and treatments tailored to your unique needs.

The benefits of CBCT extend far beyond its advanced imaging capabilities. For patients, it means shorter appointment times, reduced exposure to radiation compared to older imaging techniques, and a more comfortable experience. For the dental team, it provides the information needed to create personalized and effective treatment plans. Ultimately, CBCT technology empowers both patients and dentists, ensuring safer, more efficient, and predictable results. Your dental health is in the best hands with this modern innovation!

CEREC Intraoral Scanner and 3D Printer

CEREC is an advanced dental technology that allows your dentist to create custom ceramic restorations like crowns in just a single visit. Using 3D imaging and computer-aided design, CEREC captures precise digital impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. The restoration is then crafted from high-quality, high-strength ceramic to fit your tooth with incredible accuracy—all in one single appointment.

The benefits of CEREC go beyond its efficiency. For patients, it means fewer office visits, no temporary restorations, and an overall faster path to a healthier, more beautiful smile. The ceramic material is not only durable but also blends with your natural teeth for an esthetic result. With CEREC, you can enjoy a convenient, comfortable, and streamlined dental experience while achieving outstanding long-term results. It’s modern dentistry at its finest!

3D Printing

3D printing offers precise, efficient, and highly personalized solutions for your oral health. This technology enables the creation of custom dental devices like dentures, night guards, and even clear aligners, all with exceptional accuracy. By eliminating the need for traditional impressions, 3D printing ensures a more comfortable and hassle-free experience, especially when crafting night guards or dental models. No longer do we need messy impressions. It reduces wait times, streamlines production, and provides a tailored fit for each patient.

With this innovative approach to dentistry, we’re committed to providing you with faster, more comfortable, and personalized care. Experience the benefits of modern technology during your next visit!
