How Our Technology Benefits Patients
Patients’ needs and goals are constantly evolving, and dental care continues to evolve with them. At Foundation Dental, we use modern technology to make your care more precise, efficient, and comfortable. Advanced diagnostic tools allow us to see details that may not be visible during a traditional exam, helping us identify concerns earlier and better understand your overall oral health.
These tools also give us more information when planning your treatment, so we can make informed decisions based on your individual needs. For you, that can mean a more comfortable experience, more precise treatment, and greater confidence in your care.
Our Dental Technology and Capabilities
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use low-radiation sensors to capture clear images of your teeth and jaws, helping us identify problems that may not be visible during a routine exam and plan treatment with greater accuracy.
Digital Scanners
Our 3D digital scanners capture detailed images of your teeth and bite without the need for messy traditional impressions. These scans help us plan and create custom restorations with greater accuracy and comfort.
CBCT Scans
Cone beam CT (CBCT) scans create detailed 3D views of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. This additional detail helps us diagnose complex concerns and carefully plan treatments such as dental implant placement, root canal therapy, and wisdom tooth extraction.
Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral cameras provide magnified images of your teeth and gums, helping us identify concerns and show you exactly what we see inside your mouth.
Same-Day Crowns
Using our CEREC technology, Dr. Dixon personally designs your crown to fit your tooth, the adjacent teeth, and your bite. Our CEREC mill then creates your custom ceramic crown right in our office, so your new crown can often be designed, made, and placed in a single visit.
Dental Laser
Our dental laser allows us to treat soft tissue with greater precision and comfort. It can reduce bleeding and irritation during certain procedures while supporting faster, more comfortable healing.
