Digital dentistry has revolutionized the way dental care is delivered, enhancing precision, efficiency, and patient comfort. At Castletroy Dental Clinic, we are proud to integrate state-of-the-art digital technologies into our practice, including intraoral scanners, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, and digital intraoral X-ray equipment. These advancements enable us to provide superior care with a focus on accuracy and safety for our patients.

 

Intraoral Scanners: A Modern Alternative to Traditional Impressions

Traditional dental impressions often involve uncomfortable trays filled with impression material, which can be unpleasant for some patients. Intraoral scanners have transformed this process by capturing detailed digital images of your teeth and gums. These handheld devices project light onto the dental structures, and specialized sensors capture the reflected data to create precise digital 3D models. This method not only enhances patient comfort but also improves the accuracy of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, implants and more. The digital impressions are immediately available, streamlining the treatment process and reducing the need for multiple appointments. Intraoral scanners at Castletroy Dental Clinic have helped us to reduce the number of traditional impressions we need to take and feedback from patients has been excellent!

 

CBCT Scans: Precision in Guided Implant Placement

For patients considering dental implants, precise planning is crucial. CBCT scans provide comprehensive 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, offering invaluable insights for implant placement. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT scans reveal detailed information about bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus locations, facilitating accurate and safe implant positioning. This technology enhances the predictability of outcomes and reduces the risk of complications, ensuring a smoother and more successful implant procedure. Our In-house implant placements are provided by Dr Finbarr O’Sullivan who uses CBCT scans to plan implant placement and create a 3D printed guide for the highest levels of accuracy and patient comfort.

 

Digital Intraoral X-Rays: High Accuracy with Minimal Radiation Exposure

Digital intraoral X-ray equipment represents a significant advancement over conventional film-based X-rays. These systems utilize digital sensors to capture high-resolution images of your teeth and supporting structures with remarkable clarity. One of the key benefits is the substantial reduction in radiation exposure (up to 90% less compared to traditional methods) making it a safer option for patients. Additionally, digital X-rays are instantly available for review, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning. The enhanced image quality aids in the early detection of dental issues, contributing to more effective and timely interventions.
