Advanced Dental Technology
At Oak Grove, we use modern dental technology to make your visits more comfortable, accurate, and efficient. These tools help us provide better care with less discomfort:
- Digital X-rays: We use digital X-rays that produce 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays. They give us highly detailed images to diagnose problems like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth. This means we can catch issues early and plan treatment with precision.
- Intraoral Cameras: We use tiny, handheld cameras to take detailed images of your teeth and gums. These images are shown on a screen right in front of you, so you can see exactly what we see. This helps you understand your oral health and make informed decisions about your care.
- Digital Impressions: We’ve replaced the old, messy putty with digital impressions. This means no more gagging or discomfort. We use a comfortable, accurate digital scanner to create impressions for crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations or cosmetic dental treatments.
