Digital Dental Scanning

Our office has multiple digital scanners. They capture detailed information about your teeth and oral structures, and these digital records support diagnosis, treatment planning and the creation of customized restorations.

Depending on your needs, digital scans may be used for:

Custom dental restorations, such as crowns
Orthodontic treatment
Dental implant planning and full-arch rehabilitation
Monitoring changes in the teeth and bite

Digital scans also give our doctors a clear visual reference when they explain findings and discuss treatment options with you.

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras provide close-up images of the teeth, gums and other areas inside the mouth. These images can help our team identify concerns that may be difficult for you to see on your own.

By viewing the images together, you can better understand what the doctor sees during your exam and why a particular treatment may be recommended, whether that is a filling, a crown or a deep cleaning.

CBCT and 3D Dental Imaging

Cone-beam computed tomography, commonly called CBCT, produces detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone and surrounding oral structures.

These images provide information beyond a standard dental examination and may be used when planning:

Dental implant placement
Full-mouth and full-arch rehabilitation
Oral surgery
Complex restorative treatment

Our doctors consider CBCT findings alongside your examination, dental history and individual treatment needs.

Guided Dental Implant Planning

We use digital scans and CT-guided planning when evaluating applicable dental implant cases. Three-dimensional information helps our doctors study the treatment area and plan implant placement around your individual anatomy and restorative needs.

Guided planning may be part of treatment for single implants, multiple implants and All-on-4, All-on-6 and All-on-X full-arch treatment.

Every patient first receives an examination, X-rays and any necessary scans. Our doctors explain whether implant treatment is appropriate, what the process may involve and the potential risks.

In-House Dental Implant Fabrication

Atlantic Dental & Orthodontics manages the dental implant process from the initial consultation through final placement. In-house fabrication capabilities allow our doctors and dental technicians to remain closely involved throughout treatment.

Keeping these stages within the practice supports communication between the clinical and technical teams. It also allows each restoration to be planned around your oral health, function and smile.

Custom Ceramic Dental Crowns

Our dental technicians create custom ceramic crowns using high-quality materials. Each crown is designed to complement the color, size and shape of the surrounding teeth while restoring the treated tooth.

Digital information and dental impressions may be used during design and fabrication. Before placement, the restoration is checked for its appearance, fit and how it works with your bite. Learn more about dental crowns and cosmetic dentistry.

Technology for Orthodontic Treatment

Technology also supports orthodontic care for children, teens and adults. Digital records and evaluations help our orthodontic team assess tooth alignment, jaw alignment and treatment progress.

Depending on your needs, options may include traditional braces, clear braces, ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners. An orthodontic evaluation determines which approach fits you.

Questions About Our Dental Technology

What is a CBCT scan?

Cone-beam computed tomography, or CBCT, produces detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone and surrounding oral structures. Our doctors may use it when planning implant placement, oral surgery or complex restorative treatment.

What does an intraoral camera show?

An intraoral camera takes close-up images of the teeth, gums and other areas inside the mouth, so you can see what the doctor sees during your exam and why a treatment may be recommended.

Are your dental crowns made in-house?

Our dental technicians create custom ceramic crowns using high-quality materials, designed to match the color, size and shape of your surrounding teeth.

Will I need a scan before getting a dental implant?

Every implant patient first receives an examination, X-rays and any necessary scans. Our doctors then explain whether implant treatment is appropriate, what the process may involve and the potential risks.

Is technology used for braces and Invisalign too?

Yes. Digital records and evaluations help our orthodontic team assess tooth alignment, jaw alignment and treatment progress for traditional, clear and ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners.
