CBCT 3D TechnologyCone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of X-ray that generates detailed 3D images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. It’s commonly used in dentistry to obtain a clearer and more precise view of the mouth and the maxillofacial area. Unlike traditional X-rays, which offer only a flat, 2D image, CBCT provides a 360-degree view of the teeth and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging is especially helpful for evaluating all hard tissues of the oral cavity - to help assist in surgery and comprehensive diagnosis of teeth. Itero 5D Pro with NIRI and Streamline InvisalignItero 5D Pro with NIRI is used to scan the external structure of your teeth in real-time to create a 3D model. This takes the place of the traditional impression technique which required trays to be filled with material which then were placed in the mouth with a 5 minute set time. It is the first hybrid dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D, intraoral color and NIRI images and enables comparison over time using iTero TimeLapse technology. Digital X-Rays X-rays are a primary tool for early identification of dental problems. Detecting issues with x-rays before they become problems can save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more extensive, expensive procedures or surgeries. x-rays are primarily used to detect:
At South Austin Dental, we use digital x-rays, which have several advantages over traditional film based x-rays. Digital x-rays allow us to take x-rays with 1/5 of the radiation that you would receive from traditional dental x-rays. The worry of exposure to excess radiation is eliminated. Large on-screen x-rays make patient communication more effective. The immediate observation of the images on the screen allows us to discuss your dental health quickly and accurately. Digital radiography has greatly enhanced the practice of dentistry. It allows the patient and the doctor to see images of the teeth in higher resolution on a large format for easier detection of problems, all while decreasing the radiation exposure to the patient. The process we use further defines the radiograph, resulting in clinically meaningful images that are sharp, detailed and rich in contrast. Images are available instantly after exposure, eliminating the wait and effort spent developing and mounting x-rays. If an image needs to be retaken, it can be done immediately. Digital format also allows us to send and receive your images electronically, allowing for a faster consultation with your dentist. Laser DentistryLaser dentistry is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to tackle issues such as cavity treatment and gum surgery. As the name suggests, it uses lasers, which are focused light beams, to modify or remove tissue. Our team uses the latest laser technology to ensure maximum effect with the minimum of discomfort.  Intra-Oral CameraX-rays give us a clear view of what we can't see such as decay between the teeth. An intraoral camera gives you, the patient, a view of what the dentist sees. An intraoral camera is a device that is about the size of a toothbrush. Broken fillings, fractured teeth, decay, or any other dental problem can be viewed so that we can discuss with you any treatment needed. With a clear understanding of your dental needs we can decide together what the best treatment is for you. |
