Damascus Dental Group proudly uses the latest technology in dental care to ensure that our diagnoses are precise and accurate. As dental professionals, it is vital that we provide our patients the best possible experience from the moment they walk into our office. Our practice strives to be at the forefront of a wide range of exciting new technological advances for our patients.
Advanced technology like digital imaging allows our dentists to see more of the patient’s anatomy to better diagnose and treat. Adding CBCT (cone beam imaging) and Intraoral Scanners into our practice allowed us to be leaders in the industry. You can trust our team to provide the very best specialized procedures such as implants, orthodontics, and endodontics.
CBCT/Cone Beam CT Scan
Dental cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT cone beam is revolutionary dental X-ray equipment. Our Carestream 9600 CBCT system utilizes the latest smart technology and has drastically improved endodontic diagnosis, implant treatment planning, and treatment outcomes.
The technology is a modified CT scan providing your dentist with a detailed, three-dimensional image of your mouth. It captures a 3-D image of your face, including your entire jaw and sinuses. The painless procedure results in comprehensive photos of your bones, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth!
Viewing anatomical structures in three dimensions is an invaluable tool for providers in mapping out dental surgery. This technology helps locate ideal positions for the placement of implants. It also aids in detecting cracks in teeth, finding obscure variations in the roots of teeth, and visualizing potential causes for issues within the sinus cavities.
Patient Comfort and Safety
The image acquisition process is easier, quicker, and more comfortable for the patient. You no longer even need to lie down. Instead, you simply stand up or sit comfortably in a chair, and the equipment rotates only once around you. CBCT is also safer concerning radiation exposure.
With its intuitive interface and intelligent features that automate much of the scanning process, our CBCT system allows us to do more for our patients.
Intraoral “Itero” Scanner
The Itero intraoral scanner eliminates the uncomfortable practice of traditional gooey impressions. It provides a patient the ultimate comfort in that you can breathe and swallow as you normally would. And there is no unpleasant taste or smell.
The technology provides for the immediate onscreen viewing of 3D scans. The results are exceptionally accurate therefore eliminating the need to retake impressions. Overall, the immediate feedback results in a faster delivery time for Invisalign and other appliances.
