At Snow Family Dentistry, we employ up-to-date technologies to ensure the best results for our patients. In addition to the Digital Panoramic radiography, we also offer Digital Wellness Records using the iTero Element intraoral scanner, which creates 3-D digital models of the teeth and guides our work in restorative dentistry. We are committed to using advanced solutions that allow us to more accurately evaluate patient health and help provide a better sense of potential outcomes. Here are a few notes about the dental technology that our high-tech dentist implements in the practice.
iTero
We use the iTero Element Intraoral scanner to obtain digital wellness records to help us get a clear sense of each patient’s dental health, and to create 3D digital models of what the teeth look like. This is an important way for us to ensure a perfect fit for any Invisalign, crowns, or restoration work.
Digital Radiographs
The dental digital radiography equipment includes a panoramic machine providing an image of the entire jaw as well as an intraoral sensor providing detailed images of specific teeth. In other words, they are two types of digital X-rays, allowing us to evaluate each patient’s teeth while also providing quicker results and less radiation exposure.
3D Conebeam
The 3D Conebeam is a diagnostic tool, enabling us to evaluate the thickness of the bone, the length of the root, and the positioning of the teeth. Our high-tech dentist uses this technology to ensure accuracy in corrective and restorative procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does digital radiography benefit patients?
Digital dental radiography uses advanced sensors to capture high-resolution images instantly. Compared to traditional X-rays, it emits significantly less radiation and allows for faster, more accurate diagnoses with enhanced comfort for the patient. Get in touch with our high-tech dentist to know more.
What is the 3D Conebeam CT scan used for?
Our 3D Conebeam technology provides a detailed three-dimensional image of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. It is especially valuable for planning dental implants, evaluating root canal anatomy, and assessing bone density for restorative procedures.
How does iTero improve dental implant and restorative care?
The iTero Element Intraoral Scanner creates precise 3D digital models of the mouth, which are crucial for designing perfectly fitting dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and Invisalign aligners. This level of accuracy supports better long-term outcomes.
Are these advanced dental systems safe?
Yes. All advanced dental systems used at Snow Family Dentistry—such as digital X-rays, Conebeam imaging, and iTero scanning—are FDA-approved and safe. They use lower radiation doses than conventional equipment and are non-invasive.
Can dental implant technologies reduce appointment times?
Absolutely. With digital impressions, instant imaging, and real-time treatment planning, our advanced systems minimize wait times and reduce the number of appointments needed—making visits more efficient for our patients.
What role does technology play in dental implant procedures?
Dental implant planning relies heavily on precise imaging. Using Conebeam 3D scans and digital impressions, we can visualize bone structure and nerve pathways, ensuring optimal implant placement and a high success rate.
Does your dental digital radiography help with patient education?
Yes. The visuals from our iTero and digital X-ray systems help patients clearly see their dental conditions. We use these tools to explain treatment options, expected outcomes, and monitor changes over time with Digital Wellness Records.
Are all ages suitable for dental implant technologies?
Yes, our dental implant technologies are safe and effective for patients of all ages. Whether for a child’s orthodontic evaluation or an adult’s dental implant planning, our high-tech systems provide tailored diagnostic support.
