Dental Technology in Camrose
Camrose Dental Technology
The dental technology we use in our Camrose dental clinic plays an important role in caring for your oral health. Annual digital x-rays help our dentists monitor your oral health, while digital oral scans help us provide important dental treatments such as same-day dental crowns and Invisalign treatment.
CBCT Scanner
A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) digital scanner is a specialized medical imaging device used in dentistry. CBCT scanners offer higher-resolution images than traditional x-rays with lower radiation exposure. This technology facilitates accurate dental diagnosis and treatment planning, providing dentists with detailed 3D images for precise and effective treatment, including dental crowns and implants.
CEREC
The CEREC scanner is a useful piece of dental technology used for same-day dental restorations, including crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and even some bridges. It allows our dentists to create ceramic restorations right here in the office, often in a single appointment, without the need for temporary restorations or multiple visits.
Intraoral Scanner
An intraoral scanner is a dental device our dentists use to capture highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, gums, and oral structure. This tool lets us take real-time digital impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy putty impressions of your mouth. Using an intraoral scanner is a more comfortable experience for our patients as well as a time-saving tool for our dental team.
iTero Scanner
The iTero scanner is a digital intraoral scanner that creates accurate 3D images of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Created by the dental team behind Invisalign, the iTero system helps our dentists plan your orthodontic treatment with accuracy and efficiency.
Dental Lasers
Dental lasers are technological devices that use concentrated beams of light to perform a variety of dental procedures. These lasers emit light energy in specific wavelengths that can be absorbed by various tissues in the mouth, allowing dentists to perform precise and minimally invasive treatments. Ask our dentists about whether dental lasers are an option for your treatments.
VELscope
VELscope is a cutting-edge technology used in dentistry for the early detection of oral abnormalities, including potentially cancerous lesions. Its non-invasive nature, quick examination process, and ability to improve patient outcomes make it an important part of routine dental care, especially for patients at higher risk of oral cancer.
