Digital Dental X-Rays and Other Imaging Technologies

Masterpiece Smiles uses advanced digital imaging technologies to improve diagnoses and guide the treatment process. Digital imaging provides the doctors with clear high-definition pictures of the teeth and the jaw to identify potential dental issues and recommend the best treatment protocols for each patient.

During routine comprehensive exams, patients receive x-rays of their teeth to screen for cavities and other dental concerns. Masterpiece Smiles uses digital dental x-rays; this type of imaging helps reduce a patient’s exposure to harmful radiation.

Camera technologies also guide the dental diagnostic process. The CamX Triton HD camera system is a high-end digital camera that helps the team measure the depth of caries and captures other pertinent dental data via its high-resolution images.

For patients considering orthodontic treatments or who might be a candidate for these treatments, the team at Masterpiece Smiles might use the T-Scan to capture bite force. This is an essential tool to better understand occlusions and bite alignment.

Cone Beam CT Imaging helps Dr. Frith and the team assess the jaw, teeth, jaw bone, etc. These images can help the team identify issues with the jaw structure.

Trios Digital Scan Impressions are an easier way to capture impressions for those with a gag reflex. This digital scan replaces the need for cumbersome putty.

The ITERO Digital Scanner provides a 3D image of the mouth. This helps patients see their dental plan come to life. With the scanner, Dr. Frith can show patients what their smile will look like after certain cosmetic dentistry treatments.
