Advanced Dental Technology Pleasanton
State-of-the Art Instruments for Top-Quality Care
Dr. Pruski’s skill and experience are the foundation of the service we provide, but our Pleasanton team would not be able to do what we do without assistance from state-of-the-art technology. These instruments aid us by providing valuable diagnostic information and creating a more precise, more comfortable patient experience. Below, you can read about a few of the specific tools that we use to provide top-quality care.
Digital Impression System
If you have ever had an impression taken of your teeth, you might remember a tedious and uncomfortable experience. Thankfully, things are now easier thanks to digital impression technology. All we have to do is move a small, wand-like device around your mouth. It can capture thousands of images of your teeth and arrange them into an accurate digital blueprint of your mouth. We can use this amazing instrument when planning for crowns, bridges, nightguards, and more.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small wand that can allow us to get a more detailed look at areas of your mouth that may be difficult to see during a routine dental exam. This can help us identify and treat various oral health issues while they are still in their early stages. We also like to use the images for patient education. When you can see what is happening inside your mouth, you are more likely to understand why we make certain recommendations.
CT Scanner
In some cases, a regular digital X-ray does not provide the level of detail that is necessary to diagnose certain conditions and plan certain treatments. That is why our specialists may recommend that you have a CT scan of your teeth or jaw, which produces more detailed, three-dimensional images. It can be especially important when planning for dental implant placement.
