Advanced Dental Technology

We are pleased to use state-of-the-art dental technology here at Advanced Dental Concepts when providing your care. These technologies make it possible for Dr. Lo to provide you with faster and more accurate diagnoses, more precise treatments and a higher quality of care.

3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Scans

We use the latest dental technology at Advanced Dental Concepts, including 3D CBCT scans. This scan provides more accurate images of the mouth, teeth, jaw bone density, soft tissues, and nerves in the craniofacial region in one scan. This helps us for more accurate diagnoses and to treat dental and oral surgery conditions. Traditional film and x-ray methods do not provide the level of detail or accuracy that CBCT does.

This scan is only used for certain surgical cases because it does transmit more radiation than other digital x-rays; however, the benefits of this scan outweigh the risks.

CBCT is commonly used in more complex dental implant cases.

INTRA-ORAL CAMERA

When it comes to your dental care, the iTero Digital Impression Scanner offers a solution that is both more efficient and reliable than traditional methods.

Part of many dental treatments is the process of taking impressions of your mouth. These impressions help our team better visualize the structure of your teeth and jaws to customize a treatment plan for you. Through the use of the iTero Digital Impression Scanner, our team eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable impression materials while producing more efficient and accurate results.

Using a radiation-free laser, this compact device scans your mouth to create a digital, three-dimensional impression of your teeth and gums within minutes. Not only are these impressions much more time effective, but they also are much more accurate and allow patients to remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Combined with our years of experience, this technology allows our team to help deliver the best possible outcome for your dental care.

CEREC Same Day Dentistry

CEREC technology uses a combination of digital intraoral scanners, CAD-CAM software, and 3-dimensional imaging to provide cutting-edge digital dentistry. One of the most common uses of CEREC technology is in the fabrication of dental crowns. Traditional dental crowns are usually made during two separate appointments over the span of a few weeks while wearing a temporary crown. While the traditional route may still be the best option for some patients, many patients are candidates for a CEREC crown.

Another benefit of CEREC technology is digital impressions. Say goodbye to soft, gooey impression material in your mouth. Our dentists have the ability to capture your full dentition quickly and then transfer the data to the computer. 

With CEREC the final restoration is designed, manufactured and placed in your mouth directly without any temporary crown needed, all in the same day.

Even better, the digital impressions technology that the CEREC process offers, allows our dentists the ability to replace traditional impressions in other treatments such as night guards, bleaching trays, clear plastic retainers and when planning, placing and restoring implants.
