Providing exceptional clinical care and optimizing treatment results is important to our general dentists at Byers Station Dental. Along with offering comprehensive dentistry, our team brings the highest standard of care to the community through the use of advanced dental technology in Chester Springs, PA. These innovative tools allow for a more minimally invasive approach to diagnosing oral conditions, enhancing patient comfort, and helping each individual attain a beautiful, healthy smile. Dental technology is often incorporated into many aspects of care, from digital x-rays and impressions to laser cavity detection. We are excited about the benefits advanced dental technology can offer your oral health and invite you to talk with our team to learn more!

At Byers Station Dental, we proudly utilize the following advanced dental technologies:

• DIAGNOdent: This laser cavity detection device measures the fluorescence in decayed areas, which is depicted on a number scale. Higher numbers may indicate the presence of tooth decay.
• Digital X-rays: These low-radiation radiographs produce clear diagnostic images and are used to screen for hidden dental concerns.
• 3D Imaging: Using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3D oral imaging offers a 360-degree internal view of your teeth, facial bones, nerves, and other oral structures.
• iTero Digital Impressions: We use the iTero intraoral scanner to quickly capture digital impressions of your teeth and gums in place of bulky mouth trays and messy impression materials.
• Intraoral Cameras: This wand-like camera allows us to take color photos of your mouth, which can then be displayed on our computer monitor.

The DIAGNOdent is used during dental exams to help our dentists identify early signs of tooth decay, often before they are even visible in the mouth or on x-rays. Digital dental x-rays are taken during dental exams and allow us to screen for conditions, like cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, and bone loss. CBCT 3D oral imaging provides our dentists with in-depth diagnostic capabilities in identifying a range of needs, such as orthodontic concerns, and in planning for complex dental treatments. Digital impressions may be used in a range of procedures, from creating crowns or dentures to Invisalign clear aligners. Intraoral photos help you understand more about your oral health by allowing you to visualize issues, like cracked teeth, tooth decay, or plaque buildup, in high-definition.

We may use dental technologies in Chester Springs, PA, during routine dental exams and as needed throughout procedures to safely aid in the treatment process or enhance end results.

Our advanced dental technologies are generally safe for most patients. Women who are pregnant or who think they could be are advised to inform our team before having x-rays or other diagnostic procedures performed.

A number of dental technologies are often covered in the course of care, or in part, by some dental insurance plans.
