Technology at iTooth
Intra-Oral Camera
An intraoral camera is used to diagnose and evaluate oral health problems and closely view the oral cavity structures. An intraoral camera enables us to see the external systems of the gums, teeth, and buccal cavity. The camera captures images and videos of the teeth, where cavities, tartar deposits, gum diseases, chipped or cracked teeth, broken dental restorations, and other conditions can be seen precisely.
Soft Tissue Laser
Soft tissue laser treatments eliminate the need for scalpel or electrosurgery. By using varying power levels and wavelengths, laser dentistry produces very minimal heat during dental surgeries.
With the help of lasers, the soft tissue structures are precisely and effectively removed.
Cone Beam/3D X-Ray
Cone Beam 3D imaging provides a vast amount of information and delicate details that otherwise cannot be obtained using conventional X-rays. One 3D scan can capture high-resolution pictures that will allow us to examine the affected area from many different perspectives. More data means higher accuracy, which translates into a successful treatment.
Digital X-ray
Digital X-rays give more detailed information of the teeth and surrounding tissue that are not visible in a visual examination. As a result, dental problems can be addressed quickly, saving you money, time, and needless discomfort. Moreover, digital X-rays expose you to far lower levels of radiation than conventional X-rays.
CEREC
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) is an advanced technique for recreating teeth. CEREC technology employs computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to deliver one visit restorative appliances for patients. This new technology has transformed porcelain restorations such as crowns, bridges and veneers and reduced the waiting period for patients to avail these services.
iTero Digital Scanner
The iTero digital scanner eliminates the need for goopy impressions and accelerates the process of your clear aligner or nightguard treatment. It provides digital impressions that are much more precise, and their results are fast and accurate.
