CBCT Cone Beam 3D Imaging

Three-dimensional imaging has transformed dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed 3D views of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding structures that traditional 2D X-rays cannot capture.

• Benefits for Implant Planning: CBCT imaging is essential for precise dental implant placement. The 3D scans reveal exact bone density, nerve locations, sinus proximity, and anatomical structures, allowing Dr. Chad to plan dental implant position with millimeter accuracy before surgery begins.
• Comprehensive Diagnostic Information: Beyond dental restorations, CBCT imaging helps diagnose impacted teeth, evaluate TMJ problems, assess airway issues, locate root canal anatomy, and identify pathology that 2D X-rays might miss. This technology allows Dr. Chad to see problems before they become serious, leading to more conservative treatment approaches.
• Lower Radiation, Higher Comfort: Modern CBCT technology delivers detailed 3D images with significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans. The scan takes only seconds and requires no uncomfortable positioning or contrast agents.

Intra-Oral Camera

Our intra-oral cameras are pencil-thin, handheld wireless devices that capture highly detailed images of your teeth and gums. These cameras have become an essential part of every appointment at Fox View Dental, transforming how we communicate with patients about their oral health.

• Enhanced Patient Education: By showing you exactly what Dr. Chad sees in your mouth on a chairside monitor, intra-oral cameras help you understand dental conditions that might otherwise be difficult to visualize. This visual evidence helps you make informed decisions about your treatment.
• Treatment Documentation: Digital images captured throughout your treatment allow us to document progress, track changes over time, and provide visual records of your dental health history. This documentation is invaluable for monitoring conditions and planning future care.
• Immediate Problem Detection: The high magnification of intra-oral cameras allows us to spot small problems like early cavities, cracked dental fillings, or gum recession before they become serious issues requiring more extensive treatment.

Joint Vibration Technology

Joint vibration therapy is a non-invasive treatment option we employ at Fox View Dental to help relieve pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This innovative therapy uses a small, handheld device that emits a gentle vibration to the affected joint.

• Stimulates Healing: The vibration stimulates blood flow and encourages natural healing processes, which can help reduce inflammation and pain in the TMJ. This increased circulation brings healing nutrients to the joint while removing inflammatory byproducts.
• Safe & Comfortable: Joint vibration therapy is completely painless and requires no recovery time. Many patients experience immediate relief from pain and discomfort, and most see significant improvement after just a few sessions.

Multi-Wave Locked System (MLS) Lasers

MLS lasers represent an advanced medical technology for pain relief and tissue repair. At Fox View Dental, we use MLS lasers to help treat conditions such as TMJ disorders, gingivitis, and tooth sensitivity through a completely non-invasive approach.

• Dual Wavelength Technology: MLS lasers emit two different wavelengths of light that work together synergistically to reduce inflammation, stimulate healing, and improve blood flow to the affected area. This combination provides more effective results than single-wavelength laser systems.
• Immediate Pain Relief: Patients typically experience immediate relief from pain and discomfort during treatment, with many seeing significant improvement in their condition after just a few sessions. The therapy is completely painless and requires no downtime.
• Safe & Effective Alternative: MLS laser therapy provides a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments for many dental conditions, often reducing the need for medications or more aggressive interventions.

Tekscan Bite Analysis

Tekscan is an advanced diagnostic technology we use at Fox View Dental to precisely measure and analyze your bite. This sophisticated system measures the pressure distribution and force exerted during your bite using a thin, flexible sensor placed between your teeth.

• Identifies Bite Problems: By analyzing bite pressure data, we can identify high-pressure areas and imbalances that may be causing pain, accelerated wear, or TMJ problems. This objective data allows Dr. Chad to make precise adjustments to alleviate discomfort and prevent future problems.
• Non-Invasive Diagnosis: Tekscan technology provides immediate feedback without any discomfort or invasive procedures. The thin sensor is simply placed in your mouth while you bite down normally, giving us comprehensive information about how your teeth come together.
• Guides Treatment Planning: The detailed pressure maps created by Tekscan help guide treatment for issues like jaw misalignment, teeth grinding, bite problems, and TMJ disorders. This technology ensures adjustments are based on precise measurements rather than guesswork.

Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography has replaced traditional film X-rays throughout our practice, providing immediate images with up to 90% less radiation exposure. Digital X-rays appear on chairside monitors within seconds, allowing us to review them with you immediately and explain findings in real-time.

The digital format also allows us to enhance images, adjust contrast, and zoom in on specific areas for better diagnostic accuracy. Digital storage makes accessing previous images easy, allowing us to track changes over time and share images with specialists when necessary.
