Advanced Dental Technology in Richardson
Modern Dentistry That Helps Your Smile Stay Healthy
Dental technology has come a long way over the years, and our office has multiple devices designed to make your visit more comfortable and efficient, letting you feel confident about your care. Here’s a closer look at just some of the instruments and techniques we’ll use to tend to you and your family’s dental needs; and if you’re ready to schedule an appointment, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Intraoral Cameras
We care about educating our patients and helping them to feel more engaged during their dental appointment, which is why we’ve incorporated an intraoral camera into our care. This small, handheld device captures high-resolution images of your mouth, then displays them on a nearby monitor. If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly what your dentist sees when they look inside your mouth, this is how!
CT/Cone Beam Scanner
While X-rays can certainly tell us a lot about your current oral health, there are some areas that require an even deeper look, especially when you need dental implants to replace teeth or root canal therapy to save them. With the CT cone beam scanner, we can capture a highly detailed, 3D image of your mouth, jaw, and other oral structures. This makes it much easier to confirm where your nerves and blood vessels are located, making the dental implant placement process, as well as numerous other types of treatments and diagnostic care, much easier to complete.
Digital X-Rays
No comprehensive dental exam is complete without a series of detailed radiographs from our digital X-ray machine! X-rays are an essential part of dental diagnostics because they can confirm if there are any underlying problems beneath your gum tissue. Plus, by going digital, collecting X-rays is simple, straightforward, and reduces radiation exposure by over 80 percent!
Greenlight Dental Compliance Center
The Greenlight Dental Compliance Center from Hu-Friedy is an online portal that we regularly use to help keep our sterilization and sanitation procedures up to date. It gives us easy and immediate access to relevant, always up-to-date information from the CDC, OSHA, and state boards. It even includes a nifty tool to create a practice-specific guide for maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
