Advanced Dental Technology

Some of the old orthodontic techniques are obsolete nowadays and advances in technology have made orthodontic treatment more comfortable and more efficient.

 

 

i3D Smart RC

I3D Smart RCDuring the treatment planning phases of more complex restorative procedures, your dentist needs to be able to see your jaw from a number of angles. 2D and 3D images are used simultaneously to draw a complete picture -- but having multiple scans and X-rays taken is tedious and costly. With the i3D Smart RC, we can get two in-depth images (one CT and one panorama) with a single scan. The image is 360 degrees and in-depth for better treatment planning.

Digital X-Rays

digital x-raysDigital X-rays offer several valuable benefits over the traditional film X-rays. There’s no chemical darkroom process and no tedious waiting to worry about – instead, the high-resolution images of your teeth are instantly transferred and available for viewing on our computer system. Enhancing options (such as color-coding and magnification) are available as well, which makes even the smallest changes to your dental structure easy to detect. Radiation exposure is also greatly reduced with digital radiographs compared to the traditional film radiography.

Digital Impressions

Dr. Mason has invested in revolutionary digital Impression technology that allows for creation of comprehensive, three-dimensional model of the patient’s smile for orthodontic treatment planning. Our 3D printer can even create these models for doctor and patient use right here in the office!
