We offer the latest in digital imaging technology. Our digital x-ray unit generates the highest resolution images with ultra-low dose radiation. For patients that would like to opt out of gooey impressions, we offer digital intra-oral scanning that generates a 3D model of your teeth. Custom appliances and retainers can be fabricated through this digital scan with 3D printing technology.
