Dental TechnologyAt Wy'East Dental we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! ![]() Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer 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. Cone Beam CT ScanA cone beam CT scan is a diagnostic tool that produces a 3D representation of your teeth, underlying bone structure, and nerve pathways. This advanced 3D imaging technology provides Dr. Bryan Schofield with a more comprehensive overview of your teeth bone structures, allowing us to better diagnose potential issues and determine the next steps in an effective treatment plan. We typically utilize cone beam CT scans when a regular x-ray is not enough, making them ideal tool in treatment needs for cosmetic or restorative procedures, orthodontics, root canals, extractions and dental implants. Intraoral CameraAn intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that allows your dentist to get a clear, close-up view of the inside of your mouth and teeth. It captures high-resolution images or videos of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures, helping to identify and record conditions of a patients teeth, gums, and mouth. These images can be displayed on a screen in real time, allowing the patient to see what the dentist sees, making it easier to understand your dental condition and treatment options. Intraoral cameras are non-invasive, pain-free, and provide a detailed, accurate visual assessment of your oral health.
