At Opal Family Dental, we are committed to providing you and your family with the highest standard of dental care. A key part of this commitment is investing in the latest, most advanced dental technology. By integrating state-of-the-art equipment into our practice, we enhance the accuracy of our diagnoses, improve the effectiveness of our treatments, and make your visits more comfortable, efficient, and safe.
iTero® Digital Scanner for Invisalign®
Say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable dental impressions! The iTero® Element™ intraoral scanner allows us to create a highly accurate, 3D digital model of your teeth and gums in just minutes. This technology is not only more comfortable for you, but it also provides a precise map for our team to plan your treatment.
For Invisalign® patients, the iTero® scanner is a game-changer. We can show you a simulated outcome of your new, straighter smile before you even begin treatment. This digital precision ensures a better fit for your aligners and a more predictable, successful result.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)
When a standard X-ray isn't enough, we utilize our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) system. This incredible technology provides a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jaw, soft tissues, and nerve pathways in a single scan. A 3D image gives us a comprehensive understanding of your oral anatomy, which is crucial for complex procedures such as:
- Dental Implant Placement: Ensuring precise positioning for optimal results.
- Root Canal Therapy: Visualizing complex root structures.
- Wisdom Tooth Extractions: Assessing proximity to nerves and sinuses.
- Orthodontic Planning: Evaluating jaw structure and tooth orientation.
Digital X-Rays
Your safety and comfort are paramount. Our digital radiography system has replaced traditional film X-rays, offering significant advantages. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to conventional methods.
The images are available instantly on our chairside monitors, allowing us to review them with you immediately. These high-resolution images can be magnified and enhanced, helping us detect potential issues like decay, bone loss, or tumors at their earliest, most treatable stages.
Our Paperless Office
From the moment you check in, you'll notice our commitment to efficiency and sustainability. Opal Family Dental is a fully paperless office. Your patient records, treatment plans, and X-rays are all stored securely in our digital system. This approach not only reduces our environmental impact but also allows for faster access to your information, streamlined communication, and enhanced protection of your private data.
