As your trusted Chestnut Hill dentist, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques to ensure your dental experience is comfortable, efficient, and precise. Our commitment to technology allows us to provide superior diagnostics, treatment planning, and dental procedures that meet the highest standards of modern dentistry.
1. CandidPro Clear Aligners
Our practice is proud to offer CandidPro clear aligner technology, providing patients with a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth. This innovative orthodontic technology allows us to create custom-fitted, virtually invisible aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. The CandidPro system combines advanced 3D modeling technology with precision manufacturing to deliver predictable results in a comfortable, removable format.
As your Chestnut Hill dentist, we can monitor your progress throughout treatment using this advanced aligner technology, making adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results.
2. Cone Beam 3D Imaging
One of the most significant advances in dental technology is our Cone Beam 3D imaging system. This revolutionary technology provides three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with exceptional clarity and detail. Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, Cone Beam imaging allows our team to view your oral anatomy from multiple angles, providing a comprehensive understanding of your dental health.
This cutting-edge technology is particularly valuable for complex procedures such as dental implant planning, wisdom tooth extractions, and diagnosing TMJ disorders. The detailed 3D images enable us to identify potential complications before treatment begins, plan procedures with precision, and achieve more predictable results.
3. Digital X-Rays: Enhanced Safety and Clarity
Our practice utilizes the latest digital X-ray technology to provide superior diagnostic capabilities while prioritizing your safety and comfort. Digital X-rays produce clearer, more detailed images than traditional film X-rays, allowing us to detect dental problems in their earliest stages when they’re most treatable and less costly to address. Digital X-ray technology significantly reduces radiation exposure — up to 90% less than conventional film X-rays — making them safer for patients of all ages.
4. Intraoral Camera Technology
Our intraoral cameras represent a breakthrough in patient education and diagnostic technology. These small, pen-sized cameras capture high-resolution images of individual teeth and specific areas of your mouth, allowing both you and our Chestnut Hill dentist to see exactly what’s happening in your oral cavity. This technology enables us to show you dental issues in real-time, helping you understand your treatment needs and make informed decisions about your care.
The intraoral camera technology also allows us to document your dental condition accurately, track changes over time, and share detailed images with specialists when referrals are necessary.
5. Laser Therapy Technology
We utilize advanced laser therapy technology for various dental procedures, offering patients a more comfortable and precise treatment experience. Dental laser technology can be used for soft tissue procedures, periodontal therapy, and cavity preparation with minimal discomfort and faster healing times compared to traditional methods. Laser therapy technology reduces bleeding, swelling, and post-operative discomfort while promoting faster tissue regeneration.
6. TRIOS Scanner Technology
Our TRIOS scanner represents the pinnacle of digital impression technology. This advanced intraoral scanner captures incredibly detailed, full-color 3D images of your teeth and gums in real-time, eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional impression materials. The TRIOS scanner technology provides superior accuracy for crowns, bridges, and other restorative work.
This state-of-the-art scanning technology improves patient comfort while ensuring precise fit and optimal aesthetics for all restorative procedures. The instant digital impressions also reduce treatment time and improve the overall quality of your dental care.
7. Ultrasonic Technology
Our ultrasonic technology enhances both diagnostic and treatment capabilities in our practice. Ultrasonic scalers provide superior plaque and tartar removal during professional cleanings, offering more comfortable and effective periodontal therapy. This technology uses gentle vibrations to remove buildup while being less invasive than traditional scaling methods.
Ultrasonic technology also assists in various treatment procedures, providing precise control and improved outcomes while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
