Digital X-Rays & Safer Imaging
Digital x-rays offer a safer and faster way to detect concerns like cavities, bone loss, or infections. These high-resolution images appear instantly and allow the dentists to diagnose issues earlier and more accurately. With significantly less radiation exposure, this technology is also safer for patients of all ages.
- Clear, high-resolution images: Detect cavities, infections, and bone loss with enhanced detail.
- Reduced radiation exposure: Emits up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, making it safer for all ages.
- Quick diagnostic turnaround: Enables immediate treatment decisions without waiting for film.
- Eco-conscious process: Eliminates chemical waste for a more environmentally friendly practice.
iTero® Scanner & Impression-Free Accuracy
The iTero digital scanner replaces traditional impressions with quick, clean 3D scans. This handheld device captures highly detailed images of the teeth and bite without trays or putty. It’s especially useful for Invisalign treatment planning and other custom dental restorations.
- Mess-free digital scanning: Replaces gooey impression materials with a clean, touch-free alternative.
- Highly detailed 3D models: Captures tooth and bite anatomy with precision for better-fitting aligners and restorations.
- Faster lab communication: Sends scans instantly to labs or software for quicker turnaround on treatments.
- Comfortable for sensitive patients: Ideal for those with strong gag reflexes or anxiety about impressions.
Same-Day Crowns With Planmeca PlanScan®
Planmeca PlanScan technology allows patients to receive custom same-day crowns in just one visit. This CAD/CAM system creates and mills crowns in-office with digital precision, offering speed without sacrificing quality. It’s a convenient option for restoring a tooth without multiple appointments.
- Permanent crowns in one visit: Get your custom crown designed, milled, and placed in a single appointment.
- CAD/CAM digital design: Produces a natural look with precision-milled ceramic that blends with your smile.
- Strong, long-lasting materials: Uses durable, tooth-colored ceramics designed to stand up to daily wear.
- No temporary crown needed: Eliminates the need for a follow-up visit or risk of temporary crown failure.
CBCT Imaging & 3D Diagnostics
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides detailed 3D images that go far beyond traditional x-rays. This technology captures a full view of the teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerves, making it ideal for complex diagnostics. It is especially helpful for planning full-arch dental implants or evaluating sleep apnea.
- Complete anatomical visualization: Views bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus structures in one detailed scan.
- Essential for advanced treatments: Used in planning full-arch dental implants, root canals, and airway evaluations.
- Streamlined diagnostic process: Provides all necessary imaging data in a single, efficient session.
- Minimizes exposure with focused scans: Targets specific areas while keeping radiation levels low.
Guided Implant Placement With CBCT & 3D Printing
At Appomattox Family Dentistry, every dental implant procedure is performed using fully guided technology to ensure precise, safe, and long-lasting results. We begin with a CBCT scan to generate a detailed 3D image of your bone, nerve pathways, and surrounding anatomy. This advanced imaging allows us to plan every step of your procedure with confidence and accuracy.
Using the digital scan data, we create a custom 3D-printed surgical guide for your specific case. This guide helps place the implant in the exact location, angle, and depth needed for optimal healing and stability. It’s a streamlined, minimally invasive approach that supports better outcomes and a smoother recovery.
- CBCT-guided treatment planning: Offers detailed insight into bone structure, nerves, and implant positioning.
- 3D-printed surgical guides: Custom-made for each patient to ensure precise, repeatable implant placement.
- Predictable, efficient procedures: Reduces risks and increases comfort during implant surgery.
- Ideal for all implant cases: From single teeth to full-arch restorations, guided placement supports lasting success.
