Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras make it easy for you to see what is happening inside your mouth instead of relying on your dentist to provide a clear explanation. Using a handheld scanner that projects real-time images onto a chairside screen, your dentist can go over what they see and determine if advanced treatment is necessary. Instead of guessing or trying to envision what your cavity looks like or how bad a cracked tooth might be, you can now see it for yourself.

Digital X-Rays

When it comes to X-rays, the days of dangerous doses of radiation and tedious darkroom development are finally over. Instead, Dr. Young and his team are happy to now use digital radiography to take detailed pictures of your teeth, mouth, and jaw. These high-quality images are instantly accessible on a nearby monitor for viewing, and they can be easily transferred, rotated, and color-coded for educational purposes if necessary. Better yet, they emit up to 90% less radiation than their traditional counterparts while also being more environmentally friendly.

Digital Impression System

To create a custom dental restoration, lab technicians must have an accurate model. Those crafted using cold dental putty were lackluster when generating a favorable impression; however, now that the process uses digital software instead of messy paste, a more reliable 3D model can be used. In less time than it took with traditional impressions, we can capture a precise image that technicians can use to build your restoration and ensure a proper fit.
