Our Technology

Digital X-rays

One of the most significant technological advancements in dentistry is the digital X-ray. Notably, this digital imaging technology allows our dental team to capture high-resolution, detailed images of your teeth and gums using a fraction of the radiation emitted from traditional X-rays. Consequently, digital X-rays are faster and more accurate, enabling us to view them on a computer screen within seconds.

Moreover, the benefits of digital X-rays are enormous. Viewing images immediately lets our team diagnose dental conditions quickly and efficiently, thereby allowing us to begin treatment earlier. Additionally, digital X-rays don’t require harsh chemicals for processing, making it a more environmentally friendly process.

Intraoral Scanner

Another crucial advancement in dental technology is the intraoral scanner. These small, handheld devices capture high-quality digital images of the inside of your mouth, which we can then view on a computer screen. As a result, intraoral scanners make it easier to identify dental issues such as cavities, cracks, or other oral health conditions, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatments.

Furthermore, intraoral cameras are highly beneficial in visually explaining oral health issues to patients. Once patients see the digital images of their teeth and gums, they will better understand their condition, treatment options, and results.

CEREC

If you’re looking for a convenient and efficient way to get your dental restorations, we have you covered with CEREC. CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a state-of-the-art technology that allows you to get your crowns, veneers, and other restorations fabricated and fitted all in one visit. Therefore, this means less time wasted on scheduling multiple appointments and waiting weeks for your restorations. With CEREC, you can expect quick, accurate results that look and feel natural. So, why go through the traditional, time-consuming way of getting dental restorations?

3D CT Scan

As part of our dedication to providing quality dental care, we have taken the technology to the next level with our 3D CT scan machine. Consequently, gone are the days when patients were required to take multiple X-rays to get a clear image of their teeth. With the 3D CT scan technology, Dr. Jennifer Wallace and her team can get a detailed image of their patients’ teeth structure and detect issues that may not have been visible before. This technology has revolutionized the dental industry.

3D Printer

As technology advances, so does our ability to innovate and create. For example, our 3D printer gives us the remarkable ability to take a digital design and bring it to life. We can now create custom-made dental appliances faster and more accurately than ever as part of our restorative dentistry in Beaufort, South Carolina. With innovations like this becoming more commonplace, the potential for what we can achieve is limitless.

This advanced technology harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. By effectively reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling, the MLS laser promotes faster recovery and improved patient comfort. Our commitment to incorporating state-of-the-art treatments like the MLS laser ensures that our patients receive the highest standard of care, allowing them to experience optimal dental health and overall well-being.

Consequently, this advanced laser technology allows for unparalleled accuracy and minimal discomfort during these delicate procedures. By utilizing the CO2 laser, we can ensure swift and efficient treatment, enhancing patient outcomes and minimizing recovery time.
