Intraoral Camera
See your smile up close with our intraoral camera! At our Mountainview dental office, our state-of-the-art intraoral camera offers a clear and detailed view of the inside of your mouth. This advanced technology helps our dentists accurately diagnose oral health issues, plan effective treatments, and educate you about your dental care. By providing a magnified and high-quality image, the intraoral camera allows you to see your teeth, gums, and oral tissues like never before.
Infrared Cavity Detection
Infrared cavity detection is a modern dental technology that utilizes infrared light to identify cavities at an early stage. This method offers a more accurate and sensitive approach compared to traditional visual examinations or even X-rays.
Infrared cavity detection uses a special device to emit harmless infrared light onto the tooth. This light penetrates the tooth enamel, revealing its internal structure. Healthy enamel appears transparent or light in color, while areas of decay or cracks absorb more light and appear darker or opaque. The dentist can then view these images on a monitor for a clear and detailed assessment of the tooth's condition.
Infrared cavity detection offers several advantages, including early detection, accuracy, non-invasive treatment, and time efficiency. This technology can identify cavities in their early stages, when they are smaller and easier to treat. It also provides a highly accurate diagnosis, even in areas that may be difficult to see with traditional methods. Unlike X-rays, infrared cavity detection does not involve radiation, making it a safer option for patients, especially children and pregnant women. Additionally, the process is relatively quick and efficient, allowing for faster dental check-ups.
By incorporating infrared cavity detection into your care plan, Dr. Jay Zimmerman can provide more comprehensive and effective care, helping to prevent cavities and maintain optimal oral health.
iTero Digital Scanner
The iTero Digital Scanner is a state-of-the-art device that has revolutionized the way dental impressions are taken. This innovative technology uses a small, handheld scanner to capture a 3D digital image of your teeth and mouth.
The iTero captures a series of high-resolution images by moving the scanner over your teeth and gums. These images are then processed by a computer to create a highly accurate 3D model of your mouth. This 3D model can be viewed on a screen, allowing you and your dentist to see your teeth and jaw alignment in detail.
The iTero dental scanner offers several advantages, including accuracy, speed, comfort, and visualization. It provides incredibly accurate impressions, leading to more precise and comfortable dental restorations. The scanning process is much faster and more convenient than traditional impression methods. The scanner is also smaller and more comfortable than traditional impression trays. Additionally, the 3D model allows you and your dentist to see your treatment plan in detail before it begins.
Dexis Digital X-Rays
Dexis Digital X-rays are a modern dental imaging technology that provides high-quality, digital images of your teeth and jawbone. Unlike traditional film X-rays, Dexis Digital X-rays are captured electronically, resulting in clearer, sharper images that can be viewed and shared instantly.
This technology allows for more accurate diagnoses and more efficient treatment planning. Dexis Digital X-rays are often used to detect cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
