Technology
Summerhill Orthodontist
Our state-of-the-art technologies ensure accuracy, efficiency, and comfort. At Iconic Orthodontics, we keep our equipment well maintained so that treatment can be safe and efficient. Some of our dental technologies are listed below:
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone Beam imaging is an advanced form of digital radiograph. With the cone beam imager, one simple scan will produce a 3D image of your entire maxillofacial structure. Our team can then use this image for diagnostics, patient education, treatment planning, and treatment follow-up.
The cone beam provides an effective solution to create quick, clear, precise images for your benefit. Additionally, the cone beam uses minimal radiation during its scans and is far less invasive than other forms of imaging. This makes the cone beam an excellent choice for patients with dental anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex.
By utilizing advanced technologies like the cone beam, we can provide an effective, efficient, and comfortable patient experience for you on every visit.
Digital X-Rays
Our state-of-the-art digital x-rays magnify and enhance your teeth for better diagnosis and treatment. This technology allows us to take photos of your teeth and display them on a computer screen quickly and easily.
With digital x-rays, we can view your teeth and the surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy. These images provide the information we need to plan your dental treatment.
Digital x-rays require much less radiation than traditional film x-rays, so they’re certainly a safe and effective dental technology.
Intraoral Scanner
What is the secret to making a great impression? At Iconic Orthodontics, we use our intraoral digital scanner to ensure that the impressions we take are accurate, efficient, and comfortable every time.
Impressions are necessary for the fabrication of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Our hand-held intraoral scanner takes 3-dimensional digital video impressions with proven accuracy. Even the most challenging cases can be accurately scanned seamlessly.
Another benefit to you is reduced wait time. When we send precise digital scans to our lab, your restorations require less preparation work and can be fabricated more quickly. This means you can have your restoration placed far sooner than with traditional impression methods.
In the past, you may have experienced dental trays that filled with a soft substance that hardened into an impression of your mouth and teeth. With the intraoral scanner’s small hand-held wand, we can take accurate digital impressions without tripping your gag reflex.
As our Summerhill orthodontics team completes your scan, you will be able to view the impression on the monitor along with us. This allows you to see more precisely why we have recommended restoration for your oral health needs.
We look forward to seeing you again at your next appointment with us. We love to make a great impression.
Panoramic X-Ray
A Panoramic x-ray machine rotates around your entire head to take a 360-degree view of your teeth, sinuses, and the bone structure of your head and jaws. This provides a more complete image than standard x-rays. Panoramic x-ray imagery is a valuable resource that Dr. Brandon Morgan uses in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Soft Tissue Lasers
With soft tissue lasers at our disposal, Dr. Brandon Morgan can provide highly precise treatments that are less invasive and are relatively pain-free. Soft tissue lasers are useful for a wide variety of dental treatments.
A laser is essentially a tiny beam of highly concentrated light. This beam can be used to provide pinpoint accuracy in treatments. Because the laser sterilizes the tissues and seals off blood vessels as it is used, the chance of infection or bleeding following laser treatment is minimal. This makes the soft tissue laser minimally invasive yet highly effective.
With the highly versatile soft tissue laser, Dr. Brandon Morgan can seal nerve endings and blood vessels and treat soft tissues simultaneously. This creates less stress on the gums, which significantly reduces both swelling and bleeding. Moreover, by using the soft tissue laser, Dr. Brandon Morgan minimizes patients’ discomfort both during and after the treatment and ultimately reduces their recovery time.
Dr. Brandon Morgan uses soft tissue laser technology to provide our patients with precise dental care with a comfortable dental experience.
