Dr. Unger is committed to patient education, safety, and predictable treatment outcomes, so when he learns of a technology that ticks these boxes, he eagerly brings it into our dental office.
Below are a few of Dr. Unger's most popular and dependable dental technologies. If you would like to learn more about these or the other innovations we offer, contact our dental office today.
Digital X-Rays
Today's digital x-rays provide clear and resizable images for your dentist, contributing to diagnoses, image-guided dental procedures, and improved outcomes for our patients.
Additional benefits include:
- Less radiation exposure compared to past radiographs
- Friendly for the environment compared to dark-room films
- Easy digital storage for convenience and safety
Patient outcomes and safety are two of our top priorities and always guide Dr. Unger when selecting new technologies for his dental office.
Intraoral Cameras
With this technology, your dentist uses a small camera—no larger than a penlight—to capture images of your teeth and gums. These images tell a story and allow Dr. Unger to share information visually with insurance providers and other specialists.
We are also dedicated to patient education. Your dentist can pull up these images chairside to better explain your diagnosis to you. This allows you to make informed choices for your oral care and understand why Dr. Unger recommends a specific treatment course.
Same Day Crowns
We are now happy to offer same day crowns! With same day crowns we eliminate the annoying temporary crown phase and you leave our office with your brand new, tooth-colored ceramic crown! Our patients have found this a convenient option to avoid taking multiple days off work, leaving on vacation with a temporary crown, and fixing broken teeth quickly!
3D Scanners
No more "goop"! Everyone remembers "traditional" impressions with a mouthful of bad tasting impression material. Any error required an uncomfortable and lengthy repeat. Now we have intra-oral scanners that digitally capture your mouth in seconds. No more bad taste, no more slimy goop! It's quick, convenient, and accurate! When combined with our same day crowns, it modernized the crown process and makes it way faster and more pleasant!
Cone Beam CT
To aid in our diagnosis and treatment planning, we have the capability to acquire CBCT images of your jaws and teeth! This technology makes it easier for us to detect any issues before they become a problem for you, and helps eliminate multiple diagnostic visits! When combined with our Intra-oral scanner, it also makes the planning of the implant placement process extremely accurate.
