Technology That Makes Every Visit Better
Whether you're here for a routine dental exam or planning a full smile makeover, the technology we use helps us:
- Diagnose problems earlier
- Create more precise treatment plans
- Improve your comfort during procedures
- Eliminate guesswork in restorative and cosmetic treatments
- Minimize radiation exposure and reduce chair time
Our modern tools aren’t just impressive — they help us deliver more personalized, effective, and comfortable care, every time.
Digital X-Rays: Faster, Safer Imaging
Digital X-rays allow us to capture detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure — instantly. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital radiography offers:
- Up to 90% less radiation exposure
- Faster image capture and instant display on screen
- Better image clarity for earlier, more accurate diagnosis
- Eco-friendly (no film or chemicals)
We use digital X-rays during regular checkups, emergency visits, and pre-treatment planning for procedures like root canals and implants.
Panoramic X-Rays: A Complete View of Your Smile
While digital X-rays capture small areas, panoramic X-rays give us a full picture of your entire mouth — including the jawbone, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ).
Panoramic imaging is especially useful for:
- Assessing tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth
- Planning implant placement
- Detecting cysts, tumors, or bone irregularities
- Evaluating jaw alignment and TMJ issues
This technology ensures we see the full story before beginning treatment.
Intraoral Cameras: See What We See
Intraoral cameras are small, high-definition devices that allow us to take close-up photos inside your mouth — in real-time. These images help you:
- Understand what's happening with your teeth and gums
- See cracks, wear, decay, or inflammation you might not feel yet
- Make informed decisions about your care
We use these cameras during hygiene visits, exams, and treatment consultations so you can take a more active role in your dental health.
iTero Digital Impressions: No More Messy Molds
If you’ve ever had a traditional impression taken, you probably remember the sticky, uncomfortable trays. At Legacy Family Dentistry, we’ve replaced those with iTero digital scanning — a fast, precise, and mess-free way to capture your bite and tooth structure.
iTero scanning is used for:
- Creating Invisalign aligners
- Designing crowns, veneers, and onlays
- Preparing for implants or bridges
- Monitoring changes in your bite over time
This scanner allows us to send your impressions directly to the lab for faster turnaround — and a better fit for your restorations.
