What is dental technology?
Dental technology is any tool or device used to help diagnose, treat or prevent oral disease. This includes things like digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and laser dentistry. At our office, we use the latest dental technology to provide our patients with the best possible care.
Technology is constantly changing and improving. New devices are being developed every day to make dental procedures easier, faster, safer, and more effective. We stay up-to-date on the latest technology so we can offer our patients the best treatments possible.
Some of the technologies that we use include:
• Digital X-rays
• Intraoral Cameras
• Laser Dentistry
• CEREC® One-Visit Crowns
• Cone Beam CT Scans
• 3D Imaging
What are the different types of dental technology?
Our practice uses a variety of advanced dental technologies, including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. These technologies allow us to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatments. They also help us detect and treat oral health issues earlier. In addition, they allow us to perform procedures more efficiently, saving you time and money. Some of the advanced technologies we use include:
• Digital X-rays – We use digital x-rays to get detailed images of your teeth and supporting structures. With these images, we can diagnose problems early in their development and plan more effective treatments.
• Intraoral Cameras – An intraoral camera is a small device that allows us to take high-quality pictures of the inside of your mouth. We can use these pictures to diagnose oral health issues and show you exactly what we see in your mouth. This can help you better understand your treatment options and make more informed decisions about your oral health.
• Dental Lasers – A laser is a focused beam of light that we can use to perform many dental procedures more comfortably and efficiently. For example, a laser can treat gum disease without the need for surgery or sutures. It also allows us to remove decay from a tooth without drilling into the tooth.
• CEREC® Same-Day Crowns – With CEREC® same-day crowns, we can create a crown for you in a single visit. This means you don’t have to wait weeks for a lab to create your crown. Instead, we can take impressions of your teeth and create a crown in our office while you wait.
What are the advantages of dental technology?
Dental technology allows Dr. Patel to provide more accurate diagnoses, more comfortable treatments, and more efficient care. For example, digital x-rays allow us to take images of your teeth and display them on a computer screen instantly. This helps us see problems earlier and more accurately than with traditional film x-rays. Digital x-rays also expose you to less radiation than traditional x-rays. We also use intraoral cameras to show you exactly what we see in your mouth. With these images, we can show you why you need treatment or explain a procedure to you before we do it. We can also use images taken with this technology to show you before and after pictures of your dental treatments. Finally, we use laser dentistry for more precise and gentle procedures. Lasers allow Dr. Patel to remove decay and prepare teeth for fillings without using a drill. They also make gum surgery less invasive and less painful.
Technology allows us to provide better care in less time. It also makes our treatments more comfortable for you. We welcome you to call or visit us today to learn more about the benefits of dental technology in Plano, Texas!

How does dental technology benefit patients?
Dental technology benefits patients in many ways, including faster treatment times, more accurate diagnoses, and less invasive procedures. Our practice uses digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and other technologies to make your visit more comfortable and efficient. We also use the latest sterilization techniques to prevent the spread of infection. We adhere to strict infection control guidelines to keep you safe during your treatment.
Technology also allows us to provide same-day crowns with CEREC® CAD/CAM technology. With CEREC, we can design, create, and place a crown in just one appointment! This saves you time and allows you to leave our office with a beautiful new crown the same day as your procedure.
