- Intraoral digital scanning
- Intraoral cameras for patient education
- Digital charting and treatment planning
- Magnification and modern clinical workflows
What to expect
A simple, step-by-step process.
See what we see

Questions about dental technology
Common questions.
These answers are general. Your dentist can give you advice that is specific to your situation after an assessment.
Why use 3D imaging?
3D imaging may be recommended when conventional dental X-rays do not provide enough information for a specific diagnostic or treatment-planning question.
What is an intraoral scanner?
An intraoral scanner captures a digital 3D model of the teeth and gums and can replace traditional impressions for many dental workflows.
Do digital X-rays still use radiation?
Yes. Dental radiographs use ionizing radiation, which is why they are recommended when clinically useful and appropriate exposure protocols are followed.
