Advanced Dental Technology at Millpond Family Dental

At Millpond Family Dental, we use the latest dental technology to provide top-notch care. Our advanced tools include digital X-rays, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), the iTero® scanner, Isolite technology, and intraoral cameras. These innovations enhance treatment accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort, ensuring the highest quality of dental health care.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them safer for both patients and staff. They also capture high-quality images that are available for our team to review almost instantly, allowing appointments to be more efficient and productive.

CBCT

Cone beam technology is used in dentistry to create a 3D model of the patient’s teeth and jaws. These X-rays are used when planning complex treatments like implant placements and orthodontic treatment. CBCT scans and panoramic X-rays are both used to get a clear idea of how the patient’s teeth and jaws are working together.

Itero® Scanner

Traditional dental impressions require patients to bite down into trays of dental putty, which can be uncomfortable and trigger the gag reflex. Digital dental impressions are fast and create very precise impressions. A handheld device is simply run over the top, sides, and bottom of the teeth—no dental putty required!

Isolite Technology

This device assists dentists during restorative procedures by suctioning saliva and illuminating the inside of the patient’s mouth. The patient can also rest their top jaw on the mouthpiece, which makes for a more comfortable experience, especially during longer treatments.

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras are used to provide both the dentist and the patient with a closer view of the patient’s teeth and gums. This handheld device streams a live video to a screen, and it can also be used to capture images that can be added to the patient’s file and reviewed later on.
