# Dental Technology

At Town Center Dental we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results!

## Intraoral Scanner

An intraoral scanner is a sophisticated, handheld device resembling a wand that captures precise 3D digital impressions of your teeth and gums. Using advanced imaging technology, it creates a detailed model by taking thousands of images per second, ensuring accuracy and comfort during the process. Unlike traditional impressions, which can be uncomfortable and cumbersome, the intraoral scanner provides a quick and efficient way to obtain exact digital representations of your dental anatomy. This technology streamlines procedures such as crowns, bridges, and orthodontic treatments, enabling faster turnaround times for same-day restorations.

## Digital X-ray

In the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone.

## 3D Imaging

3D imaging gives our doctors a more comprehensive overview of your teeth and gum tissues. This allows us to better diagnose any potential problems and determine the next step in an effective treatment plan. We may utilize 3D imaging for cosmetic or restorative purposes, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants.

## 3D Printing

Using Monochrome LCD technology, our 3D printers use ultra-high resolution and high-speed printing to produce incredibly accurate representations of your mouth. We use our in-house printer to create surgical guides and other 3D products that make the implant and other processes more predictable for ideal results.

## Cone Beam CT Scan

A cone beam CT scan is a diagnostic tool that produces a 3D representation of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and underlying bone structure within a single image. We typically utilize cone beam CT scans when a regular x-ray is not enough. Cone beam CT scans are ideal for surgical planning, the diagnosis of TMJ disorders and tumors, and the evaluation of bone structure and tooth orientation.
