Dental TechnologyAt New Life Dental we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! Intraoral CameraAn intraoral camera is a handheld appliance that is shaped like a wand. The tiny camera at the tip of the appliance takes hundreds of pictures per second to capture an in-depth and accurate image of your mouth. This image is sometimes used to create a digital impression of your teeth and gums. A digital impression is particularly useful for same-day dental crowns. At New Life Dental, we use the 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner.  Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which required film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer with reduced radiation exposure and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically, the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone. Intraoral ScanIntraoral scanning gives Dr. Sang Cho a more comprehensive overview of your teeth and gum tissues. This allows us to better diagnose any potential problems and determine the next step in an effective treatment plan. We may utilize intraoral scanning for cosmetic or restorative purposes, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants.  Cone Beam CT ScanA cone beam CT scan provides a detailed 3D image of your teeth, gums, nerves, and bone structure in a single scan, offering much more detail than traditional x-rays. This advanced imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis, especially in complex cases like surgical planning, TMJ disorder assessment, or evaluating bone and tooth placement. The detailed images help our dental team identify issues that might be missed on standard x-rays, ensuring safer procedures and more precise treatment plans. This leads to better outcomes and minimizes risks during complex dental procedures. 3D PrinterWe use cutting-edge 3D printers to revolutionize the way we create dental solutions. This advanced technology allows us to produce highly accurate, custom-fit treatments in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. By scanning your teeth digitally, we can craft durable and aesthetically-pleasing solutions tailored specifically to your needs. Enjoy fewer appointments and a quicker turnaround, all while minimizing material waste.
