Digital x-rays (radiographs) have far lower levels of radiation than those emitted through traditional x-rays. Capturing digital x-rays is far less intrusive and much more comfortable for patients compared to traditional x-rays. Digital x-rays also produce better quality images, which helps your dentist diagnose problems with a higher accuracy.
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) scan is a type of dental x-ray equipment that takes panoramic 3D images of your teeth and gums in a single scan. The 3D images help our team at Westport Dental diagnose problems more efficiently. This quick and efficient scan produces better image quality than traditional dental x-rays and helps reduce your exposure to radiation. Better, more accurate images allow for a more precise planning of your treatment.
Digital impressions is a cutting-edge technology that allows your Westport Dental team to create a virtual replica of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth. The technology captures clear and accurate impressions quickly and without the need for traditional impression materials that some patients find uncomfortable and messy. The impression information is then used to create dental restorations.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Our intraoral cameras allows you to see what Dr. Birk can see inside your mouth. It’s fascinating for many of our patients, and it also helps you better understand the recommendations we make.
We want you to feel relaxed and entertained during your treatment!
