SPRINT RAY 3-D

SPRINT RAY 3D PRINTER

SprintRay is an advanced 3D printing technology specifically designed for dental applications. It allows our team to create various dental devices and models using a process called additive manufacturing. Let's explore how SprintRay works and why it's significant in the field of dentistry.

Traditionally, these dental devices were made using manual techniques or molds. SprintRay utilizes a 3D printer and a digital scanner, which can create three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. The first step is to create a digital model of the dental device using specialized software. This software allows us to design and customize the device according to the patient's specific needs.

SprintRay offers several benefits for patients and dental offices. Firstly, it allows for highly accurate and precise fabrication of dental devices such as mouthguards, retainer, and clear aligners. The light ensuring a better fit and functionality. The ability to customize the designs means that each device can be tailored to the patient's unique dental structure, resulting in improved treatment outcomes.

Secondly, SprintRay enables faster production times compared to traditional methods. This means that patients can receive their dental devices sooner, reducing the overall treatment duration. Additionally, it reduces the need for outsourcing these tasks to external dental laboratories, which can save time.

In summary, SprintRay is an advanced 3D printing that simplifies the fabrication process, improves accuracy, and reduces production times.

CEREC SAME DAY DIGITAL CROWNS

convenient same day treatment

CEREC Primemill is an innovative technology used in dentistry that allows our team to create precise and customized dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and bridges. It combines computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) processes to provide efficient and high-quality dental treatments.

In the past, the process of getting a crown involved multiple visits to the dentist and the use of messy impressions. However, with CEREC Primemill, it's all done SAME DAY.

Once the tooth is ready, the dentist takes a digital impression using a small camera instead of the traditional gooey impression materials. This digital impression is then uploaded into the CEREC Primemill software.

It uses diamond-coated burs to precisely carve your crown out of a solid block of ceramic material in a matter of minutes. This milling process is guided by the digital design, ensuring a high level of accuracy.

The whole process can typically be completed in a single visit, saving you time and the need for temporary restorations.

CEREC Primemill offers several advantages. Firstly, it eliminates the need for messy impressions, making the experience more comfortable. Secondly, the digital design and milling process allow for highly accurate and precise restorations, ensuring a better fit and functionality. Lastly, the same-day treatment reduces the number of visits to the dentist, which is especially beneficial for busy individuals like high school seniors.

In summary, it simplifies the process for patients and provides efficient and high-quality dental care.

FAREWELL TO GOOEY IMPRESSIONS

Digital 3d scanner

The digital dental scanner Primescan is an advanced technology used in dentistry for capturing highly detailed and accurate digital impressions of patients' teeth and oral structures. It replaces the traditional method of using messy and gooey impression materials to create molds.

The scanner employs structured light technology, which projects a pattern of light onto the teeth and records the reflection to create a digital model. It captures even the finest details, including tooth surfaces, gum contours, and bite relationships. This process is faster, more comfortable, and less prone to errors compared to traditional impressions.

Once the digital impressions are captured, they can be instantly viewed and manipulated on a computer. The data can be used for a wide range of dental applications, including designing and manufacturing dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as orthodontic aligners and appliances.

Primescan's advanced software provides tools for precise virtual model analysis, tooth shade determination, and treatment planning. The digital impressions can be easily shared with dental laboratories, allowing for efficient communication and collaboration between .

3D and 2D Digital X-rays

Vatech CBCT

Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized imaging technique used in dentistry to capture detailed three-dimensional images of a patient's oral and maxillofacial structures. It provides a comprehensive view of the teeth, jawbones, facial bones, and surrounding tissues with exceptional clarity and precision.

Here's how it works:

1. Cone Beam Technology: CBCT utilizes a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the patient's head, capturing a series of images from different angles. This cone-shaped beam ensures that the entire area of interest is covered in a single scan.

2. Digital Image Acquisition: The X-ray images captured by the CBCT machine are then reconstructed using advanced computer algorithms to generate a detailed three-dimensional representation of the patient's oral and maxillofacial anatomy.

Now, let's talk about why dental CBCT is used and its benefits:

1. Comprehensive Visualization: CBCT provides a more comprehensive and detailed view compared to traditional two-dimensional dental X-rays. It allows dentists to examine the teeth, bone structures, nerves, sinuses, and other anatomical features in three dimensions. This helps in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation of complex dental issues.

2. Dental Implant Planning: CBCT is particularly valuable in dental implant procedures. It allows dentists to assess the quality, density, and dimensions of the jawbone, enabling precise planning and placement of dental implants. It helps determine the optimal position and angulation of the implants for long-term success.

3. Orthodontic Assessment: CBCT scans aid orthodontists in assessing the relationship between teeth, jawbones, and facial structures. It helps in diagnosing and planning orthodontic treatments, including identifying impacted teeth, assessing dental crowding, and evaluating skeletal abnormalities.

4. TMJ Analysis: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulties in jaw movement. CBCT can provide detailed images of the TMJ, allowing dentists to assess its structure, position, and any abnormalities that may contribute to the patient's symptoms.

5. Pathology Detection: CBCT scans are helpful in identifying and evaluating various dental and maxillofacial pathologies, such as cysts, tumors, infections, and fractures. It aids in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of these conditions.

It's important to note that dental CBCT scans involve a higher radiation dose compared to traditional dental X-rays. However, modern CBCT machines are designed to minimize radiation exposure, and dentists follow strict protocols to ensure patient safety.

In summary, dental CBCT is an advanced imaging technology that provides detailed three-dimensional images of a patient's oral and maxillofacial structures. It offers comprehensive visualization, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation of various dental conditions. Its applications range from dental implants and orthodontics to TMJ analysis and pathology detection.
