Our Advanced Technology at Dental Care of Sterling
We have invested in cutting-edge equipment to ensure our patients receive modern, high-quality dentistry. Here are some of the technologies that help us deliver outstanding results:
1. Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays and produce clearer, more detailed images instantly. These high-resolution images help us detect:
-
Cavities between teeth
-
Bone loss
-
Infections
-
Impacted teeth
-
Dental abnormalities
Because the images are available immediately, we can review them together on chairside monitors and discuss your treatment options in real time.
2. Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral cameras allow us to take up-close, high-quality images of your teeth and gums. This small, handheld device gives us a clear view of areas that are difficult to see during a standard exam.
Benefits of intraoral cameras include:
-
Enhanced visibility for accurate diagnosis
-
A better understanding of oral health concerns
-
Ability for patients to see what we see
-
Improved communication between patient and dentist
By seeing your mouth in detail, you can feel more confident and informed about your care.
3. 3D Cone Beam CT Imaging (CBCT)
For more complex procedures—such as dental implant placement, root canal therapy, and oral surgery—we use cone beam CT scanning .This advanced 3D imaging technology provides a full view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.
CBCT allows us to:
-
Measure bone density and volume
-
Locate nerves and sinus cavities
-
Accurately plan implant placement
-
Diagnose hidden infections
-
Improve safety and surgical precision
This level of detail ensures predictable, successful treatment outcomes.
4. Digital Impressions
Gone are the days of messy, uncomfortable impression trays. Our digital impression scanners capture precise images of your teeth in minutes—without the sticky putty.
With digital impressions, we can create:
-
Custom crowns
-
Bridges
-
Nightguards
-
Clear aligners
-
Restorations that fit more accurately
This technology improves comfort and reduces the need for multiple adjustments.
5. Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
Our soft tissue laser allows us to perform a variety of procedures with exceptional precision and minimal discomfort. Laser dentistry is often used for:
-
Treating gum disease
-
Reshaping gum tissue
-
Removing bacteria during periodontal treatments
-
Reducing inflammation
-
Exposing teeth for restorations
Lasers result in faster healing, reduced bleeding, and shorter procedure times—making treatment easier and more comfortable.
6. Ultrasonic Scalers
For thorough and gentle teeth cleanings, we use ultrasonic scalers that remove plaque, tartar, and stains more efficiently than manual tools alone. These devices use high-frequency vibrations and water to ensure a comfortable cleaning experience, especially for patients with sensitive gums.
7. LED Curing Lights
Our LED curing lights ensure strong, reliable bonding for fillings, sealants, and restorations. These lights quickly harden dental materials, allowing for more efficient appointments and long-lasting results.
