To achieve this, our dental office in Park Ridge, IL invests in cutting-edge technologies that enhance diagnostics, treatment planning, and the overall patient experience. These advanced tools allow us to deliver more precise, efficient, and comfortable care.
Our top dental technologies at Park Ridge Smile Center include:
3D Digital X-Rays
Moving beyond traditional X-rays, our 3D Digital X-ray system provides a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of your teeth, bone structure, and surrounding tissues. Using advanced digital imaging allows for more accurate diagnosis of various dental conditions, including impacted teeth, bone loss, and TMJ disorders. The digital nature also significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to conventional X-rays, making it a safer option for our patients.
Intraoral Camera
Preview your smile like never before! Our intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that allows us to capture high-resolution, real-time images and videos inside your mouth. These images are displayed on a monitor, enabling you to see exactly what we see. This invaluable tool enhances communication, helps you better understand your oral health, and allows us to collaboratively discuss treatment options.
Icon® “No Drill” Fillings
We are proud to offer Icon® resin infiltration, a revolutionary approach to treating early tooth decay without the need for drilling. This minimally invasive technique gently fills and stabilizes weakened enamel, preventing the progression of small cavities and white-spot lesions. It's a comfortable and effective way to preserve your natural tooth structure and achieve a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)
For complex treatment planning, such as implant dentistry and surgical procedures, we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This advanced imaging technology provides detailed three-dimensional scans of your jawbone and surrounding structures. The precise information obtained from the CBCT allows for more accurate assessment, safer surgical planning, and predictable outcomes.
iTero Scanner
Our iTero scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that creates highly accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums. This comfortable, efficient process eliminates the need for gooey impression materials, resulting in more precise fitting restorations like dental crowns and Invisalign aligners. The digital scans can also be used to simulate treatment outcomes, giving you a clearer vision of your future smile.
