At The Norterra Dentist, we believe in staying up-to-date on modern dental technology to provide better care for patients, making sure that the treatments they receive provide outstanding results each and every time.
The advanced dental technology we use helps to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Some of the modern dental technologies our team has chosen to embrace include:
Digital X-Rays
In the past, x-rays relied on film to provide a look inside a patient’s mouth. Now, with a digital x-ray machine, our team can take instant x-rays without all of the hassle, helping our patients to receive better treatment and better results – faster. Unlike traditional x-rays, digital x-rays are safer and much more accurate.
- Digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation.
- Digital images are available immediately.
- These images can be zoomed in on.
- All of your data is stored digitally!
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a small camera used to take pictures and video of the condition of your teeth from the view of inside your mouth. An intraoral camera:
- Assesses those hard-to-see areas.
- Helps track your treatment process.
- Diagnoses chips, cracks, and disease.
- Allows the dentist to involve patients by showing patients what they see.
- Helps our dentist make well-educated treatment decisions.
iTero Scanner
The iTero digital scanner completely replaces outdated impression methods.
- Provides a more accurate image.
- No more having to bite down on goo!
- Faster impressions mean faster results!
- Creates a 3D file of your teeth.
VELscope and OralDNA
Using these two wonderful dental technologies, we can help diagnose oral cancer in its earliest stages. With oral cancer, the earlier you detect it, the better the end result. By using these two technologies, we can help our patients find and locate this disease earlier than traditional oral exams of the past allowed.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry has become a real game changer in modern dentistry. Using a soft-tissue lasers, our team can help treat gum disease, correct “gummy” looking smiles, and even more!
High-Grade Dental Materials
The Norterra Dentist makes use of professional-quality resources.
- Porcelain: For color-matching, strong dental crowns, bridges, and veneers, porcelain not only looks like real teeth but feels like them too! We work together with a lab that creates our dental appliances with the help of high-end image processing technology, so your custom-made product has a long life.
- Zoom! Whitening: For those of us with a busy schedule, Zoom offers a professional whitening experience that can be done during a lunch break. By using a specialized light to activate the whitening gel, you’ll receive a more radiant smile that covers your entire arch of teeth and not just the front rows like traditional whitening strips.
- SureSmile® Clear Aligners: A popular choice among adults who want a straighter, brighter smile with all the benefits of discretion. SureSmile® aligners can tackle many mild-moderate cases of crooked, misaligned teeth. By using a series of clear dental trays, your teeth will slowly move into place without the use of sharp metal wires.
- Dental Implants: In the past if you lost a tooth, there was no real permanent solution for its replacement. Now, thanks to dental implants, we can replace missing teeth permanently and safely.
