Technology

3D Printers

At Greenleaf Family Dentistry, we use digital scanners to digitally construct your smile- no messy impressions necessary!  We use our state-of-the-art 3D printers to print models that we will use to make the clear aligner trays that will gradually straighten your teeth.  

Cone Beam Technology 

We have been using the Cone Beam Computer Tomography since 2010. This technology uses one-tenth the radiation of a traditional CAT Scan machine, while allowing us to see a 3 dimensional image of all relevant structures. A digital x-ray allows only a 2-dimensional image to be seen. This technology is essential when assessing dental implants, TMJ, dental pathology, impacted teeth, traumatic injury, and root fractures.

Digital Panoramic X-ray and Extra-Oral Bite Wings

We have technology to complete digital panoramic x-rays and bite wing x-rays. The radiation for these x-rays is decreased by approximately 80% when compared with traditional x-rays. There is the additional benefit for people who struggle with gagging during bitewing x-rays, as these are done outside the mouth.

E4D – Same Day Crowns

TVs on Ceiling & Wall

All of our patient exam areas feature TV’s mounted on the ceiling and wall for a relaxing and comfortable visit.

Intraoral Camera

Sometimes it is difficult for patients to fully understand the condition of their teeth in the same way the dentist does – using an intraoral camera is a state of the art dental technical device that really helps you see for yourself exactly what is happening in your mouth. That way patients can see for themselves what is going on with their teeth and so can make informed decisions about what to do.

Diagnodent

More and more patients place value on healthy and attractive teeth. In order to maintain them, the earliest possible care is essential. DIAGNOdent aids in the detection of caries. Even very small lesions and incipient caries can be detected, enabling you to protect and preserve the tooth substance.
