Dental Imaging
To maintain healthy teeth, it’s essential to practice good dental hygiene. It's also important to visit a dental care provider at least two times a year, who will assess the current state of your oral health and provide input on how to take care of your teeth properly. During your initial visit to Dental Care of Aloma, you can expect your oral exam to be accompanied by x-rays or other dental imaging techniques. With digital imaging, the storage, retrieval, and manipulation of images is made much easier, meaning less time spent with us and more time spent doing what you love!
Dental imaging helps our provider make a thorough, well-informed diagnosis and treatment plan catered to your unique needs. During the last three decades, this technology has improved tenfold alongside the benefits that these systems provide. Today, there are many types of x-rays and other imaging methods available that can be used to detect oral diseases and abnormalities such as oral cancer, cavities, hidden dental structures, and bone loss. Depending on your symptoms, some procedures will be more suitable than others. Take a closer look at some of the modern dental imaging procedures we may use during your visit.
Advancements in technology have offered experts the ability to use faster and more precise ways to diagnose a problem, and that is no different in dental imaging. We, at Dental Care of Aloma are proud to have the technology available to accurately diagnose your dental issues quickly and have the assurance that we need to provide you with the ideal treatments available. Below are some of the technologies that we may use during your visit.
Digital X-ray
Over the past few decades, dental technology has seen drastic advancement as the need for more precise diagnostic tools has increased. This includes the digitization of X-ray technology. Offering superior resolution with less radiation exposure, digital radiography at your Winter Park dental care provider is an excellent way to help diagnose oral problems. Digital X-rays not only use 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays but are also much less time-consuming, making them one of the most important advancements in modern dentistry.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small video camera that takes an image of the outside of the gum or tooth. The intraoral camera resembles an oversized pen. While simultaneously viewing a monitor, the dentist inserts the camera into a patient's mouth and gently shifts it about so that images can be taken from a variety of angles.
Smile Vision technology
Imagine being able to see your new smile before your cosmetic dentistry procedure is even scheduled. At Dental Care of Aloma, this glimpse into the future is a reality, thanks to our Smile Vision technology. Through Smile Vision, we can generate custom-created before-and-after images of your smile and simulations of potential treatments you may receive afterward. This revolutionary capability allows you to see realistic results of any cosmetic procedure performed on your own smile before the changes even take place.
Endodontic Microscopes
The high magnification and illumination provided by an endodontic microscope have become indispensable for both diagnosis and therapy. At Dental Care of Aloma, we utilize the latest technology to improve diagnosis, increase precision and predictability in procedures, and provide a more thorough cleansing of the root canal systems.
