At DDS Group, dental technology has transformed the way we deliver care, making each appointment faster and more thorough. Many of the time-consuming dental tasks are now simplified, improving efficiency and enhancing your experience.
Technology has reshaped our daily lives—at home and work—so it’s no surprise it’s revolutionizing how patients in experience routine dental visits. Here’s a look at the advanced dental technology we use in our office to provide you with trusted care.
Book OnlineDigital X-Rays
Digital radiography, introduced in 1987, revolutionized traditional x-rays by combining computer technology with electric sensors and minimal radiation. Unlike film-based x-rays, digital images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing for quicker diagnosis. Dentists invest in training to use this technology because the benefits to patients are clear.
- Cost-effective: Digital x-rays reduce costs by eliminating film and chemical expenses.
- Efficient storage: Digital files are easily stored and shared securely, ensuring your dental records are always accessible.
- Higher image quality: Digital x-rays provide up to 256 shades of grey, surpassing traditional film’s 25 shades, and offer multiple angles for a comprehensive look at your oral health.
CBCT Machine
The dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine is a specialized x-ray device that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissues in the craniofacial area. Unlike conventional CT scanners, CBCT machines are compact, cost-effective, and suitable for outpatient use.
This advanced technology helps our experienced dentists diagnose complex conditions such as jaw diseases, impacted teeth, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), and plan precise dental implant placements. While it excels at bone imaging, it offers limited soft tissue detail compared to traditional CT scans.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera, about the size of a marker, captures high-resolution images inside your mouth to help detect tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer early. Many patients tell us they appreciate seeing clear visuals of their teeth and gums during appointments.
Benefits include:
- Pinpointing areas needing better brushing or flossing.
- Comparing before-and-after treatment results.
- Providing visual proof for insurance claims.
- Speeding up diagnosis with real-time imaging.
Primescan Intraoral Scanner
Our Primescan Scanner is the latest in digital impressions, creating safe, radiation-free, and highly accurate 3D models of your mouth. This non-invasive technology helps you complete visits quickly and comfortably—no messy molds or chemicals involved. Plus, it’s eco-friendly and accelerates your treatment planning with instant digital images.
ARES Sleeping Test
To evaluate sleep disorders, we use the Apnea Risk Evaluation System (ARES)—a home sleep test that collects important data like snoring volume, breathing patterns, and oxygen levels during sleep. After completing a simple questionnaire, patients wear a comfortable device overnight at home. It monitors your breathing, pulse, and snoring to help our trusted dentist design an effective treatment plan.
Dental Laser
Our diode laser is versatile for soft tissue procedures such as sterilizing root canals, treating gum disease, and teeth whitening. Portable and precise with touchscreen controls, it promotes faster healing and less swelling. Many patients find laser treatments more comfortable and effective.
Digital Scanner (iTero)
The iTero digital scanner captures precise 3D scans to assist in designing restorations like crowns, implants, and veneers. It’s also invaluable in orthodontics, helping us spot potential issues early during treatments like braces or clear aligners.
