Understanding your dentist’s explanations can be challenging without visualizing the issue firsthand. Thanks to the Digidoc intraoral camera, we can now provide you with a view of your teeth and gums from our perspective. These detailed images enable us to identify small cracks, cavities, and other dental issues that might have gone unnoticed otherwise. This technology ensures highly accurate diagnoses that are easy for you to comprehend.
It’s widely understood that X-rays play a crucial role in dentistry, enabling the detection of issues within the jawbone and other areas not easily visible to the naked eye. Nowadays, dentists utilize digital X-rays instead of traditional film, offering faster development and higher quality images. This advancement reduces the need for retakes. Moreover, digital technology is safer for both patients and the environment, as it involves less radiation exposure and eliminates the use of potentially harmful chemicals in image processing.
Depending on your dental needs, we might suggest a cone beam scan rather than a standard X-ray. Cone beam scanners rotate a detector around your head, capturing up to 200 images that can be compiled into a three-dimensional model of your mouth. This comprehensive model ensures that all intricate details are accounted for, including nerve paths and unseen oral structures. By incorporating these unseen variables into our treatment planning, we can provide more precise and tailored care.
The iTero intraoral scanner revolutionizes dental care with its cutting-edge digital technology, offering precise, real-time 3D images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Unlike traditional impressions, the iTero scanner provides a comfortable, quick, and mess-free experience, enhancing patient comfort. Its high-definition scans ensure optimal outcomes for procedures like Invisalign and restorative dentistry, allowing for better-fitting appliances and crowns. Elevate your dental care with the precision and convenience of the iTero scanner.
