Enhancing Patient Care
The technologies available at our Regina clinic include X-rays for accurate imaging, intraoral scanners for digital replicas of the hard and soft tissues of your mouth and dental lasers for minimally invasive procedures.
These features can help with early detection of dental issues. They also help improve treatment planning by providing detailed and precise information for our dentists.
Dental technology also plays a crucial role in patient communication. With the use of intraoral cameras and digital imaging, for example, dentists can show patients their oral health issues, making it easier for the patient to understand their dental condition and why certain treatment options are being recommended.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use digital sensors as an alternative to traditional photographic X-ray film, providing detailed computer images of the teeth and gums. These images allow dentists to examine areas of the mouth that may not be visible during a regular exam, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Dental Lasers
Dental lasers allow our dentists to perform procedures with less pain and greater precision. At Acre 21 Dental Clinic, our dentists use lasers to remove overgrown or decayed tissue, to reshape the gums, to harden dental restorations quickly and to treat gum disease.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays let your dentist create a single image of your entire mouth. This image is a flat representation of the teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and the nasal and sinus structures. Panoramic X-rays are often used to help plan treatments for extractions and implants.
Intraoral Scanners
Intraoral scanners create digital dental impressions. Your dentist uses an optical scanning wand to take a digital image of your teeth. This device allows your dentist to capture accurate data to create digital replicas of the hard and soft tissues of your mouth. Intraoral scanners are useful for Invisalign treatment planning.
