CT/Cone Beam Scanner

While digital X-ray imaging is able to provide us with high-quality photos of the areas of your mouth that lie below the gumline, our cone beam CT scanner is able to take it a step further. All that’s required is for you to rest your chin on a small stand. The imaging device will then rotate around your head and capture a series of images that will create a 3D, detailed blueprint of your entire facial anatomy. The image will allow Dr. Osterhoudt and our team to see the density of your jawbone, location of your facial nerves and sinuses, and so much more.

DIAGNOdent Cavity Detection

Cavities aren’t always obviously visible on X-rays, which is why Dr. Osterhoudt has invested in our DIAGNOdent cavity detection system. This small pen-like device allows us to detect the earliest, and often least-visible with the naked eye, signs of decay using laser fluorescence technology. It is able to illuminate the areas in which decay is located at 90% accuracy, allowing our team to treat the issue before it has a chance to progress and become more serious.

Digital Dental Impressions

Used in combination with our CEREC in-house milling machine and CAD/CAM software, our digital impression system allows us to completely do-away with the use of dental putty. Instead, all we’ll do is wave a small pen-like device around your mouth with a camera at the tip of it, which will allow us to capture a photorealistic 3D model of your entire dental structure. From here, we can either send it off to a dental lab or our in-house milling machine to craft oral appliances and dental restorations.
