Advanced Dental Technology – Collinsville, VA
The Future of Dentistry is Here
You may not know it, but dental technology changes just about as fast as phones and computers, allowing dentists to provide care that is continually more precise, more comfortable, and more effective. Proof of this progress can be found right here at Collinsville Dental Associates, where we use state-of-the-art intraoral cameras and digital X-rays to find problems in seconds, diagnose them immediately, and provide personalized treatment without delay. Now, you don’t even have to leave home to experience the very best that modern-day dentistry has to offer! To schedule an appointment, call us today.
Intraoral Dental Cameras
Cameras are getting smaller and more powerful everywhere, and the same applies to the dental office! Now, instead of just shining a bright light into your mouth (and eyes) to examine your teeth and gums, we can instead take close-up, high-resolution pictures using our intraoral camera. These images can be instantly displayed on a large monitor chairside, making it simple for our team to spot potential cavities and infections during their earliest stages. This instrument also makes it easier for our dentists to explain what they are seeing during your checkups, helping you become more informed about your oral health.
All-Digital Dental X-Rays
Did you know that only 20% of your teeth’s surfaces show above the gum line? In order to examine the rest and make sure no issues are developing beyond the scope of the naked eye, we use X-rays every single day in our dental office. Thankfully, we’ve upgraded to all-digital X-rays, which not only capture much sharper images compared to traditional film, but they also take mere seconds to develop. Better yet, the digital process exposes patients to 90% LESS radiation by comparison, which is great news for parents with small children.
