Dental Technology
Technologies at Our Dental Clinic
The technology we use at Green Meadows Dental aids in treatment planning and makes your dental appointments run more smoothly. We can show you any issues in your mouth and walk you through your treatment plan because we can display digital X-rays and scans on the monitors in our treatment rooms.
Our goal is to provide patients with dental care while making sure they are fully informed about their oral health. Dental technology helps us do that.
Digital X-Rays
Instead of traditional photographic X-ray film, digital X-rays use digital sensors. They generate highly detailed computer images of teeth and gums, as well as other oral structures and conditions, allowing your dentist to examine parts of your mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays allow your dentist to create a single image of your entire mouth. The teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and nasal and sinus structures are all represented flat in this image. Panoramic X-rays are frequently used to aid in planning treatments for dentures, braces, extractions, and implants.
Intraoral Scanners
Intraoral scanners generate digital dental impressions, usually a better alternative to messy and time-consuming traditional dental impressions. Within minutes, your dentist will take a digital image of your teeth using an optical scanning wand. This device allows your dentist to collect precise data to create digital replicas of your mouth's hard and soft tissues.
