Here at Riverside Dental, we are committed to providing you with comprehensive, gentle care tailored to your individual needs. As part of this commitment, Dr. Shutong Hartsell uses the latest dental technologies when planning and providing your treatments.
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam imaging, or CBCT imaging, is a type of 3D technology that gives Dr. Hartsell a comprehensive view of your teeth and mouth. This detailed 3D reconstruction makes it easy for our dentist to provide you with precise, effective and comfortable care.
iTero® 3D Scanner
Our dentist and team use an iTero digital scanner to capture high-quality images of your teeth and mouth. These scans are used in a variety of ways, from diagnosing problems to creating restorations and other oral appliances, to ensure that you receive the highest quality of care.
Dental technology has come a long way in recent years, revolutionizing the field of dentistry and significantly enhancing the patient experience. These advancements have not only improved the accuracy and efficiency of dental procedures but have also made dental visits more comfortable and convenient.
One of the most notable benefits of dental technology is its ability to enhance diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital imaging, for example, allows our dentist to capture high-resolution images of a patient’s teeth and oral structures quickly. This not only aids in early detection of dental issues but also reduces the need for uncomfortable and time-consuming traditional X-rays.
Furthermore, technology has streamlined various dental procedures, making them quicker and less invasive. You will experience less discomfort and a faster recovery time, which is particularly advantageous if you experience any degree of dental anxiety. Additionally, dental technology has made patient education more effective. We want you to feel completely confident in the care you receive and to be able to make informed decisions about your treatment plans. Using 3D scans and models as well as other technology, our dentist and team can help you understand your treatment options and planned procedures, fostering a better understanding of your oral health so you can take a more active role in your care.
