Understanding Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry refers to the use of computer technology and digital tools to enhance the diagnosis, treatment, and care of dental patients. From digital X-rays to 3D imaging, digital tools can provide a more detailed and precise look at your oral health.

By using digital radiographs and tools like the PrimeScan by Cerona, we can provide faster results, improved precision, and a more comfortable experience.

Digital Radiographs: A Safer, Smarter Way to Diagnose

Digital radiographs offer a modern alternative to traditional X-rays, using lower radiation and providing instant, detailed images. This allows your dentist to quickly detect issues like cavities, gum disease, and infections.

The digital format also allows for easy storage and future reference, enhancing long-term care. The benefits of digital radiographs include:

Reduced radiation exposure: Safer for patients, particularly for those requiring frequent X-rays.
Instant results: Your dentist can instantly view the results, helping with quicker diagnosis and treatment.
Environmentally friendly: No need for chemicals or film, making the process more eco-friendly.

Intraoral & Extraoral Radiographs: Comprehensive Diagnostics

Intraoral and extraoral radiographs provide detailed images of your teeth, gums, and bones from different perspectives, offering a clearer view of your oral health. These digital tools help detect hard-to-spot issues and support effective treatment planning.

Why we use intraoral & extraoral radiographs:

Increased precision: Clear images help detect hard-to-spot issues like hidden cavities or bone loss.
Comprehensive care: These tools allow us to monitor both the soft tissue inside your mouth and the structure of your bones and jaw.
Comfort: Our digital radiographs are designed for minimal discomfort so you’ll have a better experience during your appointment.

CBCT: A 3D Look at Your Oral Health

CBCT technology captures detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding areas. This high-resolution imaging aids in planning complex procedures like implants, root canals, and surgical extractions by offering a comprehensive view of your oral health.

How CBCT can benefit you:

Comprehensive 3D imaging: Provides a clearer, more accurate view of your mouth, teeth, and jaw for better treatment planning.
Minimally invasive: CBCT allows us to evaluate your oral health more thoroughly, often reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.
Better precision for complex treatments: Whether you’re getting a dental implant or another surgical procedure, CBCT helps us have all the information we need for a successful outcome.

Digital Scanning: Quick, Comfortable, & Accurate

Digital scanning with the PrimeScan Cerona replaces traditional moulds, offering a faster, more comfortable alternative. It captures detailed 3D images for treatments like crowns, bridges, and orthodontics, speeding up the process while enhancing accuracy.

Some benefits of digital scanning include:

Comfort: No more uncomfortable impressions—just a quick scan that’s comfortable and fast.
Precision: The PrimeScan scanner offers incredibly detailed images, allowing for more accurate treatments.
Faster results: Digital scans are instant, meaning we can proceed with your treatment without waiting for moulds or impressions to set.
