Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays allow our dental care providers to capture highly detailed images of your teeth and supporting structures. These images help us detect issues earlier, making treatments more effective and less invasive. The process is safe and comfortable for patients.
- Lower radiation exposure: Reduces radiation by up to 90% compared to traditional x-rays, making it safer for adults and children
- Instant results: Images appear immediately, allowing Dr. Lee or another provider to review your oral health with you during the same visit
- Enhanced detail: Clear visuals help us identify concerns like cavities between teeth or bone changes related to gum health
- Environmentally friendly: Digital files remove the need for film and chemicals, which benefits both patients and the environment
3D CBCT
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) gives us a 3D view of your teeth, bone, and soft tissues. This advanced imaging is especially valuable for planning dental implants, orthodontics, and other complex procedures. It provides precise details that improve safety and predictability.
- Comprehensive views: Offers a full perspective of teeth, bone, and nerves before complex treatments
- Improved planning: Helps us design orthodontic treatments or surgical guides with a higher degree of accuracy
- Greater accuracy: Identifies exact nerve pathways and bone density to reduce risks during procedures
- Predictable outcomes: Supports well-informed decisions so patients feel confident about their treatment plans
Formlabs 3D Printer
Our in-office Formlabs 3D printer allows us to create models, guides, and appliances quickly and accurately. This reduces wait times and supports more personalized care for patients needing appliances or treatment planning aids.
- Customized models: Prints study models that show how treatments like orthodontics will change your bite
- Faster results: Nightguards or surgical guides can be produced sooner, reducing delays from third-party labs
- High precision: Each model is printed with fine detail to ensure a secure fit and reliable function
- Patient convenience: Fewer follow-up appointments may be needed since appliances can often be ready more quickly
Intraoral Scanner
The intraoral scanner creates a fast and accurate 3D image of your mouth. This technology is helpful in restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic treatments. Patients often prefer this approach because it is efficient and comfortable.
- Comfortable process: Eliminates messy impression materials that may cause discomfort for some patients
- High accuracy: Digital scans provide detailed impressions, reducing the likelihood of remakes or adjustments
- Efficiency: Speeds up planning for treatments such as crowns or Invisalign aligners
- Patient-friendly: The 3D model can be shown on-screen, helping patients better understand their treatment options
Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design allows us to plan cosmetic and restorative treatments with your unique features in mind. By previewing results digitally, patients can feel more confident in their decisions. This tool creates a clearer vision for achieving a natural, balanced smile.
- Personalized design: Each plan is developed based on your facial structure and dental needs
- Preview results: Patients considering veneers or other cosmetic work can see a digital simulation before treatment begins
- Collaborative approach: Allows you to share input with Dr. Jin or another provider so your goals are reflected in the final plan
- Enhanced precision: Ensures symmetry and proportion are carefully integrated into your smile design
Face Scanner
Our face scanner captures detailed 3D images of your facial structure, which helps us plan treatments that complement your natural appearance. It is often used alongside Digital Smile Design to ensure cosmetic and restorative solutions look balanced.
- Enhanced visualization: Demonstrates how dental changes may affect your overall appearance
- Precise alignment: Supports orthodontic and cosmetic planning that harmonizes with facial features
- Natural results: Helps create enhancements that look seamless rather than artificial
- Better communication: Patients can compare “before” and projected “after” images to feel more confident in their choices
