The landscape of modern dentistry has been transformed by digital innovation. At Oakwood Dental, we’ve embraced cutting-edge digital imaging technology that enables unprecedented diagnostic accuracy and treatment precision. These advancements represent a significant leap forward from traditional radiographic methods, allowing for earlier detection of dental issues and more effective treatment planning.

State-of-the-Art Imaging Systems

Digital Radiography: Advanced Diagnostic Precision

Digital radiography represents a revolutionary advancement in dental imaging. These systems produce high-resolution images while reducing radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional film. The technology allows for immediate image enhancement, detailed analysis, and seamless integration with patient records. This immediacy not only improves diagnostic accuracy but also enhances patient education and treatment planning.

Intraoral Camera Technology: Enhanced Visualization

Our advanced intraoral camera systems provide detailed real-time imaging of oral structures. These high-definition cameras capture precise images of teeth, gum tissue, and existing dental work, enabling both detailed examination and improved patient understanding of their oral health status. The technology proves invaluable for documenting conditions and tracking treatment progress.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Comprehensive 3D Analysis

CBCT technology provides detailed three-dimensional imaging essential for complex procedures such as implant placement and orthodontic planning. This advanced system creates precise anatomical models that can be viewed from any angle, enabling meticulous treatment planning and improved surgical outcomes.
