3D Imaging Dental Technology

The Latest in 3D Imaging

3D imaging is one of the most important pieces of technology used in dentistry. It can create a detailed scan of your mouth, allowing us to make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. It gives us an exact replica of what we’re looking at in the mouth and allows us to measure things that are not visible to the naked eye, such as bone density or tooth root length.

Cone Beam vs. Traditional X-rays

Cone beam imaging is an advanced form of 3D imaging that can provide a 360-degree view of the mouth. It uses a cone-shaped beam of radiation to create highly detailed images in seconds. This technology is far superior to traditional X-rays, which use a much greater dose of x-rays, only provide limited information and require more time to get accurate results.

The Carestream 9600

The Carestream 9600 is a cutting-edge device that uses digital x-rays to create 3D images of your mouth. Unlike a traditional spiral 3D scanner, this cone beam CT technology provides fast, high-resolution imaging and can be used for various diagnostic purposes. Not only does this make it easier for us to identify any issues you may have, but it also reduces exposure to radiation by up to 70%.

The CS 9600 system also allows us to share images quickly and easily with your referring dentist or doctor so that you can get the best care possible.

Benefits of CS 9600

• High-resolution 3D images to make more accurate diagnoses
• Reduced radiation exposure
• Quick image transmission with referring dentists or doctors
• Easier identification of issues

Co2 Laser Technology

At Oral Facial and Implant Specialists, we use laser dentistry for various procedures. From the removal of lesions to frenectomies, the Co2 laser helps us offer safe, efficient treatment with minimal discomfort. This highly precise tool allows us to target small areas and reduce the risk of damage to healthy tissue.

Our laser procedures have proven more effective than traditional methods, drastically reducing the recovery time. In addition, it’s also much gentler on the surrounding area, meaning less irritation and swelling for you.

What Is a Co2 Laser?

A Co2 laser is a surgical tool that uses a beam of highly concentrated light to cut through tissue. The unique wavelength of the Co2 laser allows us to easily spot affected areas and precisely target them for removal or treatment. It also has a cooling effect, which helps reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Benefits of Co2 Laser

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Reduced downtime
• No stitches or sutures required
• Improved accuracy and precision
• Enhanced patient comfort

3shape TRIOS

The 3shape TRIOS is another piece of technology that we use for thorough, accurate diagnoses. It’s a digital scanner that captures highly detailed images of your entire smile in just minutes. Its advanced algorithms allow us to create precise models and treatment plans, so you know exactly what to expect with every appointment. This innovative tool also helps reduce the number of x-rays you need over the lifetime of your treatment plan, helping to minimize radiation exposure.

When used as part of your dental implant treatment, the 3shape TRIOS allows us to better understand your mouth and create an exact replica of what we’re working with, making it much easier to place dental implants in the most precise and efficient manner possible.

Benefits of TRIOS

• Highly accurate scanning capabilities
• Immediate feedback on dental implant placement accuracy
• Quick and easy to use
• Precise results in less time
