Our Modern Dental Technology
Foxhall Smiles uses the latest technology to diagnose and treat patients. State-of-the-art dental technology makes it easier to notice dental problems and create a smooth treatment process.
Digital X-Rays
Modern X-rays can show areas of decay that may not be able to be seen with a visual examination alone. This technology can visualize damage to dental fillings, bone loss, root canal problems, cysts, and tooth growth. Digital X-rays help our dentists plan dental implant placement, orthodontic treatments, dentures, and other dental work.
Intraoral Camera
We use an intraoral camera to help us better identify dental problems and diagnose patients. The intraoral digital camera provides a close-up view of teeth from angles that normally would be more challenging. In addition, the camera provides real-time images and printed photos of the mouth.
Intraoral cameras offer multiple benefits:
- High-power magnification and lighting
- Better and more accurate documentation
- Patient education with clearer dental pictures
Laser Cavity Detection
Our office uses Laser Cavity Detection to scan teeth and measure fluorescence within the tooth structure. Higher fluorescence levels are proportional to more extensive tooth decay. This tool helps our dentists diagnose decay faster and prevent extensive tooth and gum damage. Early detection means fewer dental treatments, and laser detection is non-invasive and highly accurate.
3D Imaging TRIOS
TRIOS is an intraoral scanner that takes high-definition photos of teeth and gums as it scans. The HD photos add a level of detail that makes it easier to determine tooth placement. This digital solution can also create 3D digital impressions and measure tooth color shades. Our dental technicians use this imaging technology to design and manufacture high-quality dental restorations.
