Dental Technology in Anchorage, AK

Cone Beam (CT Scan or 3D Scan)

Cone beam imaging provides enhanced visualization for procedures such as dental implants, endodontic therapy, and oral surgery. It gives an accurate measurement of bone density, volume, and proximity to anatomical landmarks, and detects complex or hidden pathology including fractures, cysts, root anomalies, and impacted teeth. 3D imaging is especially valuable when spatial understanding matters, such as implant placement near nerve pathways or evaluating root canal anatomy before treatment.

3D Printing

Using 3D printing technology, we create models of a patient’s teeth and jaw to plan and prepare for various dental procedures. Our 3D printers can also create night guards and surgical guides.

Scanning

With a handheld intraoral scanner, we create fast, comfortable, and highly accurate 3D digital impressions of the teeth and gums. This replaces messy putty molds and gives us the accuracy we need for designing restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as clear retainers, implants, and night guards. Most patients have a much better experience with the digital scanner. We also work directly with local dental labs to ensure the fastest, most accurate return of products.

Digital X-rays

Digital x-rays use electronic sensors instead of film, offering instant images on a computer. Benefits include minimal radiation, enhanced clarity for diagnosis with zoom and contrast, easy sharing, and no toxic chemicals, making them faster, safer, and more efficient for detecting hidden issues like decay and bone loss than old-school film x-rays. Digital x-rays allow us to use A.I (artificial intelligence) software to help co-diagnose issues in the mouth.

Laser

Dental laser therapy uses concentrated light for precise, minimally invasive treatment, reducing pain and recovery time in procedures like gum disease therapy, cavity detection and treatment, and frenectomies for tongue and lip ties. Benefits include less bleeding and faster healing.

Panoramic

A panoramic x-ray captures your entire mouth, teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding structures, in a single 2D image. Although the panoramic x-ray can help assist in detection of cavities, it offers a broad overview for diagnosing issues like impacted wisdom teeth, jaw problems, and oral cancer, position of anatomy and helps us plan treatment. The machine rotates around your head to create the image, giving us crucial information about dental development and pathology.

Digital Intraoral Camera

Have you ever wondered what it actually looks like in your mouth? In a location where things are hard to see due to lighting, and poor visibility of teeth and tissues, we can show you a live video as well as still shots of your mouth. SEEING IS BELIEVING. Most people are completely unaware of what is happening in their mouth because “everything feels okay” or they can not see what is occuring. By using a digital intraoral camera you can immediately see an inside view of what you have been missing.
