ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a special X-ray that provides an in-depth view of a particular area in the mouth. With just one scan, the CBCT can take a 3D image of your teeth, bone, gums and tissues and even the neural pathway. Our team at Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry may use the CBCT to search for impacted teeth, plan for dental implants, diagnose conditions of the jaw and the gums and look for any abnormalities in these tissues.

The iTero Digital Scanner allows the Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry team to take detailed, accurate scans of your smile. iTero offers 3D digital impressions, interproximal scans and an intraoral camera, all in one machine. iTero is particularly useful when preparing for Invisalign, as Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen can take accurate scans of your smile and precisely predict tooth movement, eliminating the need for traditional, goopy impressions. The iTero Digital Scanner also emits less radiation than traditional X-rays.

Digital radiography allows our team to take detailed X-ray images of your smile. Digital radiography can include panoramic X-rays, which provide a comprehensive view of the upper and lower jaws, bitewing X-rays, to show how the top and bottom teeth fit together and identify any tooth decay, and more.

Dental crowns are caps placed over the teeth to restore tooth shape, size and function. Crowns can be placed on a damaged or broken tooth to improve tooth function and prevent further damage, on a discolored tooth to approve shape and appearance, and more. Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is pleased to offer same-day crowns, so you can leave our office with a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Intraoral cameras are tiny, precise cameras that allow our team to take digital images from inside the mouth. Intraoral cameras help Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen use this advanced technology to make accurate diagnoses and show you what abnormalities look like from their point of view.

AIRFLOW Therapy is an efficient biofilm management system that removes tartar and plaque from the tooth’s surface and the gumline. Traditional biofilm removal typically involves flossing, hand scaling and polishing. With AIRFLOW therapy, our team can remove biofilm, detect calculus and remove stains on the teeth in less time. While traditional polishing and stain removal techniques can be messy and make the teeth feel gritty, AIRFLOW Therapy is an advanced technology that is much cleaner and more comfortable for patients.

Our team utilizes CO2 lasers during dental procedures to maximize patient comfort and reduce treatment time. CO2 lasers are an advanced technology that are precise, minimize swelling and discomfort, reduce the risk of infection, reduce bleeding and overall allow for quicker post-op recovery.

Our Sprintray 3D printer enables our team to print molds such as dentures, aligners, surgical guides and more right here in the office. Known for its extremely high accuracy and quick printing time, the Sprintray 3D printer uses light to cure photosensitive, liquid resin. Combined with digital scanning technology, creating a mold has never been easier.
