With technology at Affordable Dental East, we ensure your visits are comfortable and efficient. We can perform your treatments with greater precision, which means less time in the dental chair for you and the most positive outcomes.
Please take a moment to see the technology we currently offer and how it can make your visits more productive and less stressful.
Panoramic X-Rays
This special x-ray machine rotates around your head to capture a complete picture of all your teeth, jaws, and facial structures in one image. The process is quick, comfortable, and provides a comprehensive view of your oral health in just seconds. We use panoramic x-rays to check wisdom teeth, plan clear aligner treatment, and look for problems that might not show up on regular x-rays.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital x-rays use small electronic sensors instead of film to take pictures of your teeth. We commonly use this technology during routine exams as needed, emergency visits, and before most dental procedures. Digital x-rays are safer than film and expose you to 90 percent less radiation, and we can see the images immediately on a computer screen.
Digital Impressions
Our digital scanner creates precise 3-D models of your teeth without messy impression materials. We use this technology for crowns, bridges, clear aligner therapy, and other restorative work. No more gagging on goopy impression material! Digital impressions are faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional methods.
CBCT Cone Beam Technology
Our advanced 3-D imaging system takes detailed pictures of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone structures. Dr. Lund uses this technology primarily to place dental implants and perform root canal treatments. We can provide very precise treatment using this technology because we can view your dental anatomy and see where to place your implant for the best results.
Rotary Endodontic for Root Canals
This specialized electric tool makes root canal treatment faster and more comfortable. Instead of hand files, rotary endodontic technology cleans out infected tooth pulp more efficiently and thoroughly. You'll experience shorter appointment times and better cleaning of the infected area, which means better success rates for your root canal treatment.
Intraoral Camera
This tiny camera takes high-quality pictures inside your mouth, so you can see exactly what our dentist sees during your exam. We use intraoral cameras during routine checkups and when explaining treatment recommendations. You'll understand your oral health better because seeing is believing, especially when viewing cavities, cracks, or gum problems that need attention.
Digital Records
We store all your dental information, x-rays, and treatment history electronically in safe, secure digital files. The benefit for you is better coordinated care as our entire dental team can quickly view your complete dental history, compare x-rays over time, and share information with specialists when needed.
