Advanced Dental Technology San Ramon
Modern Technology, Better Dental Care
Dentistry has evolved significantly over the years, and if it's been some time since your last checkup, you may notice how far the diagnostic and treatment tools have come. These advancements ultimately help patients feel more informed and at ease throughout their care. At Bishop Ranch Family Dental, we've embraced a variety of cutting-edge technologies to elevate your experience with us. Take a look at what we offer below before scheduling your visit.
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a small, wand-shaped tool that has a camera at its tip, and it allows us to capture close-up, detailed images of your teeth and gums. These images give both you and our team a clear, complete view of your oral health, making it easy to understand exactly why a particular treatment may be recommended or what a certain condition may be doing to your smile.
All-Digital X-Rays
Traditional X-rays exposed patients to notable radiation, but digital X-rays offer a much safer alternative, producing roughly 80% less radiation. That makes them a great fit for patients of any age, from kids to adults. Digital X-rays also bypass the darkroom development process entirely, and their sharper resolution often makes identifying oral health concerns easier and more accurate.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Procedures like dental implant placement and root canal treatment require a high degree of accuracy, to say the least. Our Dexis 3D Cone Beam Imaging technology grants us just that, allowing us to build detailed, three-dimensional images of your entire mouth, giving us far more insight than a standard X-ray could provide. This lets us examine your teeth and gums closely while also mapping out critical structures like nerves and blood vessels.
Digital Impressions
Every smile is different, which is why getting a crown, bridge, or veneer requires an accurate impression of your teeth. We rely on the iTero digital impression system, which uses a pen-sized scanning device to capture images of your mouth. These images come together to form a 3D model, which our lab technicians use to craft a restoration that fits comfortably and looks natural alongside your other teeth.
Cavity Detection System
Early detection is key when it comes to cavities, because when left untreated, decay can worsen and potentially lead to tooth loss. Our advanced cavity detection system allows us to spot even the earliest signs of trouble. Once identified, we can create a treatment plan to stop decay in its tracks and keep your smile healthy.
