When you visit our Towson, MD, dental office, you may notice that we use several dental technologies. Our team has the knowledge, training, and skill level to use these technologies so you get the best dental services. We welcome you to learn more about our dental technologies below.
Technology at Dr. Keith Boenning’s Office
Dr. Boenning and his team use digital technology to help plan your treatment more accurately. This technology also helps us spot dental problems early, before they get worse. With advanced tools in our Towson, MD office, we can give you dental care that is both fast and precise.
Digital X-rays
Our dental office utilizes digital X-rays, which have several benefits over traditional film-based X-rays. Digital X-rays let us take pictures of your teeth while using much less radiation than traditional X-rays. We also use lead aprons for your safety when we take dental X-rays once or twice a year.
X-rays also allow us to take immediate digital images of your dental structures. We use these images to discuss your dental health and treatment options.
3D Scans
If you’ve ever had traditional dental impressions, you probably remember how uncomfortable they felt. Many dental treatments need impressions to help make dental restorations or check your bite. It’s very important that these impressions show the exact position of your teeth.
At Dr. Boenning’s office, we use digital impressions instead of the old-fashioned putty. Dental putty is thick, uncomfortable, and tastes bad. Now, we use a small handheld scanner that takes quick pictures of your teeth. Our office sends these images to our local lab to create things like dental restorations or mouthguards. No putty needed!
Cone Beam CT Scan
A dental cone beam CT, also called cone beam computed tomography, is a special kind of X-ray machine. We use CBCT scans when regular dental or facial X-rays aren’t enough to get all the information we need. This advanced technology helps Dr. Boenning get a much clearer and more detailed look at your mouth.
With just one quick scan, we can create 3D images of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and jawbone. We can see everything from many angles to help us with treatments like dental implants or root canals. The 3D images make it easier to diagnose problems and create a treatment plan that is right for you.
