Dental Technology
Conover Family Dental uses different tools to make patients’ visits safer and more comfortable. At our office, located in Cincinnati, OH, we take pride in our state-of-the-art equipment and technology. When we invest in the latest dental technology, we’re also investing in our patients’ comfort and well-being.
Technology We Use at Conover Family Dental
- Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays capture higher-resolution images of a patient’s teeth and jawbone. Since we don’t need to develop any film, the images are available instantly. Not only that, but digital X-ray machines expose patients to 90% less radiation compared to conventional X-ray machines, making them much safer! Digital technology lets us see more than we could ever see with film. And, with the aid of our specialized computer program, we can enlarge and manipulate the digital images without compromising the quality. This helps us diagnose more oral health problems in the very early stages, when treatment is often easier and less costly.
- Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera can perform a variety of digital imaging procedures. The camera gives the patient an exact view of what the dentist sees since we can pull up a monitor and show them the images as soon as they are captured. Just imagine how much easier it is for our patient to understand their dental health needs when they can see what’s happening inside their mouth the way we do. With an intraoral camera, we can also scan a patient’s teeth to create a digital impression, great for creating beautiful restorations and cosmetic treatments. Digital images are much more reliable than conventional putty impressions.
- CEREC®
Once we have those digital impressions, we can 3D print crowns, right in our office. Advanced CEREC technology allows us to create accurate, strong, and natural-looking crowns in a matter of minutes, for same-day placement. No more waiting a week with an ill-fitting temporary while a dental lab makes your crown. We can do it while the patient waits, and they can even watch as their crown is created.
Technology Has Its Benefits
Taking care of our patients’ smiles is important, which is why we use only the best tools for the job. We want each patient to get the most out of their dental visits and feel as comfortable as possible. Any technology that helps us make their experience better is worth the investment!
