Digital Scanners
Cosmo Smiles Dental’s service, underpinned by state-of-the-art Digital Scanners, is truly a game-changer. This pioneering technology is designed to ensure accuracy and comfort in dental diagnoses, dramatically enhancing the patient experience. But how does it work?
The Digital Scanner is a non-invasive tool that captures precise, high-resolution images of your oral structure, including teeth, gums, and jawbones. Unlike conventional X-Rays, Digital Scanning is a faster process, eliminating the need for uncomfortable bite-down plates and lengthy waiting periods for film development.
The device is maneuvered around your mouth, and as it scans, it builds a comprehensive, 3D model of your dental anatomy. This model is presented on a screen in real-time, enabling you to see exactly what the dentist sees, and to understand any anomalies or potential issues that are detected.
The beauty of this service lies in its ability to detect and diagnose oral health problems early. The 3D images provide a detailed view of cavities, cracks, or even early-stage gum disease, often before they could be identified using traditional methods. Early detection means early treatment, often saving patients from more invasive procedures down the line.
The system also enables the creation of accurate dental restorations. If you need a crown, bridge, or implant, the Digital Scanner can capture the precise dimensions of the area to be treated and design a restoration that fits perfectly. This accuracy not only ensures a comfortable fit but also improves the longevity of the restoration.
While the scanner delivers intricate details of your oral health, it also reduces your exposure to radiation. Digital Scanners are known to emit up to 90% less radiation compared to conventional X-ray methods. This makes the process safer, especially for those who require regular check-ups or those sensitive to radiation.
Throughout the process, you can have peace of mind knowing you’re in good hands. The team at Cosmo Smiles Dental in Arlington, VA has extensive training and experience to leverage this cutting-edge technology for the benefit of your oral health.
In essence, Digital Scanning is a revolutionary approach that prioritizes patient comfort, precision, and early detection, making your journey to optimal oral health a swift and pleasant one.
