Our TechnologyAt Smile Makers Dental Center we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! Diagnocat AIWe utilize Diagnocat AI, an advanced artificial intelligence software that enhances our diagnostic capabilities. This cutting-edge technology analyzes X-rays, CBCT scans, and intraoral images with remarkable precision, helping us detect potential issues earlier and plan treatments more effectively. With AI-assisted insights, we can provide you with the most accurate, informed, and personalized dental care possible. ![]() Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone. iTero® Digital ScannerAt Smile Makers Dental Center, we use the iTero® digital scanner to enhance your dental experience with cutting-edge technology. This advanced intraoral scanner creates highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums—without the need for messy, uncomfortable impressions. Whether planning Invisalign® treatment, crowns, or other restorations, iTero ensures precision, efficiency, and a more comfortable visit. Plus, you can see a digital preview of your treatment results in real-time! Soft & Hard Tissue Laser (Fotona)A soft tissue laser simultaneously cauterizes and cuts an incision in the tissue. For this reason, laser treatment may reduce bleeding, discomfort, and swelling both during and after your procedure. We may use a soft tissue laser to treat periodontal disease by removing the infected lining of the gum tissue. This allows for the regeneration of healthy tissue around the teeth. Soft tissue lasers are also effective for gum contouring and crown lengthening if you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile. 3D Imaging3D imaging gives your provider a more comprehensive overview of your teeth and gum tissues. This allows us to better diagnose any potential problems and determine the next step in an effective treatment plan. We may utilize 3D imaging for cosmetic or restorative purposes, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants. Cone Beam CT ScanA cone beam CT scan is a diagnostic tool that produces a 3D representation of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and underlying bone structure within a single image. We typically utilize cone beam CT scans when a regular x-ray is not enough. Cone beam CT scans are ideal for surgical planning, the diagnosis of TMJ disorders and tumors, and the evaluation of bone structure and tooth orientation.
