What Is Dental Technology?

High-End Dentistry at Moorehead Dentistry

When you visit the dentist, you may notice them using certain technology. These dental technologies can include anything from X-ray machines to intraoral scanners. All the dental technology we use in the office helps streamline the dental visit.

Types of Dental Technology

Digital X-rays

If you’ve ever visited a dentist before, you most likely have gotten X-rays taken. Digital X-rays are a standard practice at most dental offices. These digital X-rays save time and are safe for any patient.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

CBCT scanning allows our team to create images of your teeth, face, and neck in a single scan. These images are high-quality and help us gather detailed information to make the best possible diagnosis for each patient. The CBCT machine rotates once around your head while you stand or sit. It is a quick, simple, and painless process!

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras give our team a detailed view of your mouth in pictures and videos. This dental technology is useful for putting specific problem areas on the screen so we can see them in greater detail.
