Technology

Digital x-rays and sensors give us a detailed view of your mouth’s structures that we can’t see with a visual exam. The sensors fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth and produce high-resolution images. Digital diagnostics are more comfortable and safer than traditional film x-rays of yesteryear.

Digital dental impressions are easy and mess-free. Unlike traditional impressions that require goopy molding material, digital impressions take a virtual scan and measurements of your mouth, producing a 3-D image. Our dental office enjoys using the Medit i600 intraoral scanner to design and deliver exceptional treatment strategies and outcomes. 

Intraoral cameras allow us to assess and diagnose oral health conditions like gum disease, decay, and infections. An intraoral camera looks like a pen with a tip that contains a small, high-resolution camera. Using this device, we can comfortably take detailed photos and videos of your smile, thus providing the necessary information for treatment planning. 

Diagonal Dental of Boulder uses digital records for confidential electronic charting, enhanced care presentation, and digital imaging. We can also access your files via the chairside monitor so we can view and discuss them together. Finally, our dental practice can easily send your digital records to specialists and insurance. 

Rotary endodontics make root canal therapy as stress-free and painless as ever. This method uses a slender, handheld device to clean the tooth’s interior passageways. The device has a nickel-titanium tip that gently and thoroughly removes bacteria and infection without damaging or stretching the tooth’s root canals.
