Modern Technology for Comprehensive Dental Care
At Belmont Dentistry, modern technology plays an important role in delivering informed dental care. Advanced tools can help improve visibility, support detailed diagnosis, and guide treatment planning. These technologies are incorporated into different areas of care based on each patient’s needs. Our goal is to make dental procedures more precise while improving comfort and efficiency. Explore the technology available to support your dental experience.
CBCT 3D Scanner
A CBCT 3D scanner creates detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone, facial structures, and surrounding anatomy. This technology can provide a more comprehensive view than traditional two-dimensional imaging for appropriate cases. At Belmont Dentistry, CBCT imaging can support treatment planning and evaluation for procedures such as dental implants, helping clinicians better understand anatomical structures.
Soft Tissue Laser
Soft tissue lasers use focused light energy to treat targeted areas of soft tissue during appropriate dental procedures. Laser technology may help support procedures involving the gums while reducing the need for traditional instruments in selected cases. Depending on the treatment, it can provide precise tissue management and contribute to a comfortable experience with appropriate clinical care.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small imaging device that captures detailed photographs inside the mouth. These images can help dentists examine areas that may be difficult to view during a routine examination. Belmont Dentistry can use intraoral imaging to improve visibility, document oral conditions, and help patients better understand areas of concern and recommended treatment.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide detailed images of teeth and surrounding structures using digital imaging technology. They can help dentists identify concerns that may not be visible during a visual examination, including changes around teeth and supporting structures. Digital images can also be viewed and stored electronically, supporting efficient diagnosis, documentation, and treatment planning when X-rays are clinically appropriate.
CT-Guided Dental Implant Placement
CT-guided dental implant placement combines three-dimensional imaging with digital treatment planning to help guide implant positioning. Detailed information about the jawbone and surrounding anatomy can be used to plan the intended implant location before treatment. This technology supports a more carefully planned approach to implant placement and can help clinicians evaluate anatomical considerations during treatment planning.
DryShield
DryShield is an isolation and suction system designed to help manage saliva, fluids, and debris during dental procedures. The system combines suction and oral isolation to help maintain a cleaner working area while supporting patient comfort. By helping manage moisture during treatment, DryShield can contribute to an efficient clinical environment for appropriate dental procedures.
