Our Technology at Austin Creek Dental
At Austin Creek Dental in Meridian, ID, we prioritize your comfort and care by using the latest dental technology. Led by Dr. Timothy Hansen, Dr. Todd Adams, and Dr. Cynthia McKim, our team utilizes advanced tools to provide accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and an overall positive patient experience. Here’s a look at the state-of-the-art technology we use to ensure top-notch dental care:
Digital X-Rays
Our digital x-rays provide precise images of your teeth and surrounding structures, allowing us to make accurate diagnoses and create effective treatment plans. This technology reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional film x-rays, making it a safer choice for our patients. With digital x-rays, we can instantly display detailed images on a computer screen, helping you better understand your oral health.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic x-rays offer a comprehensive 360-degree view of your entire mouth, including your teeth, sinuses, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This all-encompassing image helps us evaluate your oral health more accurately and aids in planning complex treatments. By using panoramic x-rays, Dr. Hansen, Dr. Adams, and Dr. McKim can provide a more thorough and precise diagnosis.
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone Beam imaging is an advanced 3D imaging technology that delivers a complete view of your maxillofacial structure. With just one quick scan, we get a highly detailed image, enhancing the accuracy of diagnostics, patient education, and treatment planning. Cone Beam technology uses minimal radiation, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for all our patients, including those with dental anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that captures high-resolution images inside your mouth, providing a detailed view of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures. This tool allows us to identify potential issues early and explain treatment options more clearly. The disposable covers used with each patient ensure maximum hygiene and safety.
Cavitron
The Cavitron is an ultrasonic scaling device used for periodontal deep cleaning. It effectively removes plaque and tartar from teeth and gums with gentle vibrations, offering a more comfortable and efficient cleaning experience. By using the Cavitron, we minimize discomfort and reduce the time spent on scaling and polishing.
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a laser-based cavity detection tool that identifies even the smallest signs of tooth decay. This advanced technology allows us to detect cavities in their earliest stages, enabling minimally invasive treatment and preventing further damage. It is painless, accurate, and especially useful for diagnosing decay in hard-to-see areas.
