Advanced Care & Technology
Digital scanning, digital X-rays, 3D imaging, lasers and sedation, used to make treatment more precise and more comfortable.
How We Use It
Modern tools, used with judgment.
Technology earns its place here when it makes treatment more precise, more predictable or more comfortable. Each tool below is part of how we diagnose, plan and treat.
Digital Impressions
iTero digital scanning.
A digital scan of your teeth replaces traditional impression material. We use digital impressions to plan Invisalign treatment and restorations, and to show you your teeth on screen.
Diagnostics
Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras.
Digital and panoramic X-rays give us extremely detailed images of your teeth, roots and bones, while exposing you to less radiation than traditional X-rays. Intraoral cameras let us show you images on a screen of exactly what we see.
Implant Planning
3D Cone Beam CT and guided placement.
For implant treatment we take a 3D Cone Beam CT and digital impressions to map bone and design your new smile. Implants are then placed at precise angles, with sedation available for comfort.
Laser Dentistry
A gentler instrument for soft tissue.
Laser technology is used for selected soft-tissue procedures, including laser gum reshaping, as part of a comfortable and modern treatment experience.
Sedation Dentistry
Options for anxious patients.
Sedation dentistry helps patients who feel anxious about treatment, and supports comfort during longer appointments such as implant placement.
How It Comes Together
From first scan to finished smile.
Each tool on this page has a place in your visit. Here is how they work together when you come in for care at Reston Heights Dental.
Scan
An iTero digital scan and digital X-rays give us an accurate record of your teeth and bite, without impression trays.
Review
We go over your images together on screen, so you see what we see and understand your options.
Plan
For implants and complex cases, 3D Cone Beam CT imaging lets us plan placement before treatment begins.
Treat
Lasers, 3-D printing and sedation options help keep treatment precise and comfortable.
