Advanced Dental Technology Killeen
Modernized Solutions to Care for All Smiles
Patients of all ages who visit Killeen Choice Dental can prepare to enjoy a more modernized approach to dentistry. Using some of the most state-of-the-art technologies, such as a cavity detection system, digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and digital impressions, we can ensure greater efficiency and comfort. Whether it’s detecting early signs of decay or capturing a mess-free model of someone’s smile in preparation for a custom restoration, our tools are changing the way patients experience dentistry in Killeen.
Intraoral Cameras
Wouldn’t it be nice to actually see what it is your dentist sees before deciding whether to proceed with a recommended form of treatment? Now you can, thanks to our intraoral camera. This handheld device allows us to capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums while projecting these visuals onto a nearby screen for you to view. This process makes it easier for you to better understand what your dentist is talking about when discussing potential treatment options to address problem areas of your smile.
All-Digital X-Rays
Many injuries and remnants of harmful bacteria do not exist above the gumline. As a result, dentists need imaging software that provides a clear view of the area unseen by the naked eye. With all-digital X-rays, our team can capture high-resolution scans that offer a clearer and more complete look at what is happening beneath the gums. Instead of relying on traditional radiographs that emit high levels of radiation and require extended development time in a dark room, these digital images can be captured in seconds, creating more efficient and accurate diagnoses.
Digital Impression System
Custom restorations like dental crowns, veneers, dental bridges, etc. need to be comfortable and lifelike when put into place. The only way to accomplish this is to ensure those creating them have an accurate model of your smile. Dentists once used cold dental putty to meet this need; however, digital impressions are a much more comfortable and reliable way to capture this kind of mold. Using the handheld device, our team can quickly take various scans of your smile to produce a single 3D image that will be used to create your restoration.
Cavity Detection System
Some cavities are easier to detect than others. Those that exist on the surface can be identified with little assistance; however, those that form between teeth or that are in their earliest stages can be easily missed, leading to the further spread of decay. Thankfully, this is no longer an issue now that we use a special cavity detection system. Consisting of a unique light that highlights areas of thinning enamel, it becomes more obvious where decay is forming. As a result, we can begin to administer essential treatment quicker, reducing the need for more advanced restorative care in the future.
