ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY • PRECISION DENTISTRY
At our office, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Neitzke, and our dedicated staff use the latest dental technology to enhance the quality, comfort, and precision of your care.
DIGITAL IMAGING
Drs. Phillips and Neitzke carefully determine when radiographs are necessary for each patient. These images allow us to see what’s hidden from the naked eye—detecting cavities between teeth, evaluating bone levels, examining roots and nerves, diagnosing lesions or cysts, and assessing trauma.
We use digital imaging technology, which reduces radiation exposure by up to 80–90% compared to traditional x-rays. For reference, a full set of digital dental x-rays exposes you to about the same radiation as three hours of air travel (American Dental Association, JADA 2006; 137(9):1304-1312). Digital images also allow us to:
-
Detect cavities and other dental issues more accurately
-
Store images securely in your patient record
-
Share images quickly with specialists or insurance providers
-
View precise, high-resolution images on a monitor instead of traditional film
INTRAORAL CAMERA
To make your visit more interactive and informative, we use Intraoral Camera technology. This tiny camera captures detailed, high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. By viewing these enlarged images on a screen, you can see the same details we see, making it easier to understand your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Benefits include:
-
Faster, more accurate diagnoses with less chair time
-
Clear, detailed images stored for your records
-
Easy sharing of images with specialists, labs, or insurance companies
