Digital Impression Scanning
Digital impressions significantly increase efficiency, accuracy, and allows for our team to email the virtual impression rather than mailing a traditional impression or stone model. Digital impressions can also be used to make same-day dentistry restorations, thereby speeding up patient treatment completion and minimizing the need for multiple office visits.
​
Other benefits of digital impressions include:
​
-
Improved image/impression quality for better-fitting restorations
-
Minimal Chair/Office Time
-
No need for impression materials that cause patients to gag.
-
Improves accuracy and fewer errors.
-
Patients tend to appreciate the new technology and feel more informed about their treatment process. Plus, you can see what your virtual impressions looks like while chairside.
-
The digital impression can be stored electronically indefinitely and contributes to efficient recordkeeping. Not to mention the virtual files support a paper-free environment.
-
The eco-friendly aspects include eliminating the need for disposable plastic and impression materials.
Digital Radiography/X-Rays
​
Dr. Zerbinopoulos uses digital X-rays to provide you with accurate diagnoses and treatments that are tailored precisely to your oral health needs.
There are multiple benefits to using digital X-rays, including:​​
-
Faster Process
-
Easy Examination of Areas Not Visually Visible
-
Accurate Diagnosis of Troubled Areas
-
Effective Treatment Planning
-
Fewer Retakes
​
Our team members and patients benefit from lessened exposure to radiation with the use of digital sensors. Digital X-rays produce 80-90% less radiation than traditional film radiography. Not to mention, this also makes the process faster.
​
We use digital X-rays to identify the following oral health problems:
-
Tooth Decay
-
Abscesses, Cysts, and Tumors
-
Developmental Abnormalities
-
Incorrect Root Positions
-
Cracked or Fractured teeth
-
Infection
-
Bone Loss
If you have questions about digital x-rays, please contact our office.
We’re committed to giving you one more reason to smile!
