Intra-Oral Camera
Intra-oral imaging gives you a detailed view of your mouth in pictures and videos.
Putting specific problem areas onto a computer screen lets us see with clarity and detail that is not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. Even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly with the click of a button.
Our Doctors can explain the need for treatment more clearly by showing you what we see in great detail. As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits often pay more quickly with the visual proof of a digital image.
Digital X-Ray
Digital sensors capture detailed x-ray images with a fraction of the exposure found in traditional film x-rays. Technological advancements in x-ray technology provide multiple benefits, from safety to improved treatment results.
Benefits:
- Safety: Although traditional dental films require minimal radiation for image development, our digital x-ray system provides unsurpassed safety: up to 90% reduction in radiation compared to older film-based systems.
- Time Savings: Images captured instantly with a digital sensor lessen the time you spend in the dental chair.
- Better Outcomes: Improved image clarity increases our doctors ability to diagnose and treat conditions.
3D Imaging
We’re excited to offer the most advanced imaging process in dentistry: ConeBeam CT scanning, or 3D imaging. This technology allows us to create virtually unlimited views of your teeth, face, and neck with just one scan. We’re able to obtain high-quality, detailed information to diagnose and plan your treatment needs. We can evaluate your teeth and facial structures from literally every angle, in 3D, and color! Routine x-rays, on the other hand, produce a single flat image with limited information.
The ConeBeam CT imaging system is a digital x-ray scanner that rotates once around your head while you stand or sit in a chair. The process is quick, simple, and completely painless. We use these scans to provide the best treatments for dental implants, root canals, diagnosis of dental and facial pain, etc.
Regardless of your needs, 3D imaging makes it possible to plan and customize your care unlike never before. You can have absolute confidence and satisfaction in the treatment you receive, knowing we’ve analyzed every problem with 3D technology.
Digital 3D Scanning — No More Gooey Impressions
Gone are the days of sitting in the dental chair with a tray full of thick, uncomfortable impression material in your mouth. At Newark Smiles Dental, we use advanced digital 3D scanning technology to capture precise, detailed models of your teeth and bite in minutes, with no mess, no discomfort, and no waiting.
Our digital intraoral scanner passes gently over your teeth and captures thousands of data points per second, building a complete three-dimensional model of your entire mouth in real time. You can watch the digital model of your teeth appear on a screen as the scan progresses. The process is fast, comfortable, and produces a level of accuracy that traditional physical impressions simply cannot match.
Benefits:
- No Gagging, No Mess: Digital scanning replaces messy impression trays with a small handheld wand for a faster, more comfortable experience.
- Greater Accuracy: Highly detailed digital scans create better-fitting restorations, aligners, and appliances with fewer adjustments.
- Instant Results: Your scans are sent electronically to the lab in seconds, helping speed up treatment.
- Better Treatment Planning: A 3D digital model gives our doctors a detailed view of your teeth and gums for more precise, personalized care.
