Advanced Dental Technology Spring
Dental Care Made Easy with Cutting-Edge Technology
When it comes to modern dentistry, having the most advanced technology at our fingertips allows us to provide absolute top-of-the-line care for you and your loved ones. That’s why we’re committed to investing in and being trained to use the most advanced dental technology available here at Spring Creek Dentistry – it all goes toward your dental health! Here’s a brief look at some of the high-end equipment that we use in our Spring dental office to guarantee quality, life-changing care.
Digital Dental Impressions
In the past, the process of taking dental impressions wasn’t exactly easy, for patients or dentists. It involved gooey, foul-tasting impression materials, extensive tactile effort from dentists and dental technicians, and a good bit of time. Not to mention, even if the process was carried out successfully, there was still a fair margin of error. Thankfully, our iTero digital impression system makes things infinitely easier for all parties involved. This device creates a 3D scan of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures, which can then be made into a virtual, manipulatable model that assists with all sorts of treatment planning and procedures.
CT/Cone Beam Scanner
Even though every piece of dental technology in our office is important and has a distinct purpose, it’s hard to find one that’s more useful than our cone beam scanner. This machine has an extendable arm that can rotate 360 degrees, meaning it can quickly and accurately scan your entire facial structure, giving us a digital rendition of its anatomy. We can then use this rendition in several ways, but primarily, to identify any hidden problems and plan out necessary treatment. Of course, since you can also view this digital mockup, you’ll feel quite involved with the whole process!
Soft Tissue Laser
When it comes to modern dentistry, there are few instruments as groundbreaking or impactful as the soft tissue laser. Our soft tissue diode laser is used for precise gum recontouring, a cosmetic treatment that helps achieve a more balanced and symmetrical smile. As opposed to a traditional scalpel and sutures, our soft tissue laser uses a very small beam of light to shape the gums, all while minimizing post-operative discomfort like bleeding, and drastically minimizing the risk of infection.
Overjet AI Cavity Detection
AI (artificial intelligence) technology is rapidly evolving daily, assisting us in various aspects of our lives – including dentistry! Using special AI software, we can instantly analyze your dental X-rays for signs of decay, cavities, and/or bone loss. With the ability to highlight these potential concerns on your X-rays, the overall quality of your care is greatly elevated. Plus, we’ll be able to show you what exactly is going on with your teeth to help you understand how certain treatments may be necessary to resolve the concerns.
T-Scan Technology
Having a proper bite is important for the ongoing health and retention of your teeth, as a misaligned bite can lead to damaged teeth, strained jaw muscles, and disharmony involving the jaw joints. Luckily, our T-Scan technology makes it simple to chart bite balance, force trajectory, and other necessary indicators that might be a cause for concern.
