Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Technology
Digital X-rays use a fraction of the radiation associated with older film methods. Focused beams, modern sensors, and protective aprons further reduce exposure.
A CBCT scan creates a 3D view of teeth, roots, nerves, and bone. It is commonly used for dental implant planning, complex root canals, and evaluating jaw structures.
An intraoral scanner captures thousands of images per second to build a precise 3D model. It is fast, comfortable, and often more accurate than tray impressions.
Dental lasers can reduce the need for scalpels and sutures, and many patients report less bleeding and faster healing. Local anesthesia may still be used for comfort.
Digital tools often reduce the number of visits and limit remakes, which can lower total time and expense. Your treatment plan will outline expected fees before care begins.
