Medit Intraoral Scanner
Digital impressions without putty
Instead of filling a tray with putty and waiting for it to set in your mouth, we move a small wand over your teeth. The Medit scanner builds a 3D model of your teeth and gums on a computer screen.
You can breathe and swallow normally while we scan, and we can pause at any point if you need a break or want to ask a question.
Digital Radiography
Digital x-rays are the newest technology used in dentistry to take and archive dental x-rays. Digital x-rays significantly reduce the amount of radiation as compared to traditional dental x-rays. This technique captures a digital picture of teeth with their supporting bone structures and stores the images on a computer in our dental office. You and your dentist will be able to instantly view your x-rays and enlarge the image to aid in the identification of dental problems and to gauge your dental health. Your dentist in Arlington Heights, IL will use this information to create an individualized treatment plan.
Intra-Oral Camera
Taking pictures of the teeth and supporting tissue with a small video camera about the size of a pen is a wonderful addition to dentistry today. The intra-oral camera creates digital images that can be stored on a computer. The images are shared with our patients so they can join us in the "co-diagnosis" of problems with their dental health. Your dentist can show you how others view your smile and which dental fillings are broken or discolored. We look forward to showing you a dental tour of your mouth in the privacy of your treatment room.
The Wand®
Formerly the CompuDent, The Wand® STA is a computer controlled anesthesia delivery system that provides immediate, pain free dental anesthesia for all injection types. A proven practice builder, it is revolutionizing dental anesthesia by taking away the pain, anxiety, and stress associated with conventional syringes.
Pano/CBCT
A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw. It shows a two-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear. Panoramic radiography is a form of tomography; thus, images of multiple planes are taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and deep to the trough are blurred.
Our ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH® OP300 is the most comprehensive 3-in-1 platform with a full range of clinically proven imaging programs designed for today and tomorrow. We are now able to take digital panoramic xrays and 3D imaging, similar to a CT scan. With this technology we can see a fracture within a tooth, abnormalities, to diagnosing a sinus infection!
Biolase Epic X Diode Laser
Diode Lasers have been used in dentistry for several years now. The use of dental lasers has expanded to more than just treating hard and soft tissue oral problems. With the Biolase Epic X, we are able to treat several oral soft tissue problems including, gingival crown lengthening, aphthous ulcers, frenectomies, gingivectomies, exposure of unerupted teeth, excision for biopsies to name a few. Another great feature of the Epic X is that it has been cleared to provide treatment for temporary relief of minor pain, including pain associated with TMJ or other thermomandibular disorders. Most of all these procedures can be done at a minimal cost to our patients!
