We Practice Modern Dentistry
Technology in the dental field is ever-changing and we enjoy learning how to integrate state-of-the-art equipment into our practice. Utilizing the latest advancements in dentistry allows us to treat patients with less pain and in fewer visits. This equals less time in the dental chair and a more comfortable experience from start to finish.
At Londrey Family Dental, we’re committed to ensuring our patients have a convenient, positive, and stress-free experience. From our warm, welcoming lobby to our state-of-the-art treatment rooms, you can rest assured that our team will take great care of you!
Intra-Oral Camera
Intra-oral imaging gives you a hassle-free, detailed view of your mouth in pictures and videos without the need for “goopy” impressions.
Putting specific problem areas onto a computer screen lets us see with clarity and detail that’s not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly with the click of a button. We can explain the need for treatment more clearly by showing you what we see in great detail.
As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits often pay more quickly with the visual proof of a digital image.
Digital X-Ray
Digital sensors capture detailed x-ray images with a fraction of the exposure found in traditional film x-rays. Technological advancements in x-ray technology provide multiple benefits:
Safety | Our digital x-ray system provides up to 90% reduction in radiation compared to older film-based systems.
Time Savings | Images captured instantly with a digital sensor lessen the time you spend in the dental chair.
Better Outcomes | Improved image clarity increases our ability to diagnose and treat conditions.
3D Imaging (Conebeam CT)
The ConeBeam CT imaging system is a digital x-ray scanner that rotates once around your head while you stand or sit in a chair. The process is quick, simple, and completely painless. We use these scans to provide the best treatment in dental implants, root canals, diagnosis of dental and facial pain, etc. We can evaluate your teeth and facial structures from literally every angle, in 3D, and in color! Routine x-rays, on the other hand, produce a single flat image with limited information.
You can have absolute confidence and satisfaction in the treatment you receive, knowing we’ve analyzed every problem with 3D technology.
CAD / CAM
Computer-aided design (CAD) involves the design and creation of three-dimensional models for services such as crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays and bridges with absolute precision. Even dentures, mouth-guards, and some forms of orthodontic treatment result from this technology. Sophisticated software allows these highly detailed procedures to become more controlled than ever before.
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) sends the geometrical design data to an automated milling machine. This digital manufacturing process offers many enhancements for you, including:
- Precise metal-free beauty
- Undetectable surface texture
- Single dental visit convenience
- Exceptional fit and function
- Durable, long-lasting service
