How Our Technology Enhances Surgical Outcomes

Technology plays a central role in every phase of treatment—from evaluation and diagnosis to surgery and follow-up. Here’s how we use it to elevate care

Cone Beam CT Scanning (CBCT)

Our in-office 3D cone beam scanner creates high-resolution, 
360-degree images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinus structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides three-dimensional data critical for:

This scan is completed in seconds and delivers precise data with significantly less radiation than medical CT scans.

Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

Using the data from our CBCT scanner, we plan and perform computer-guided dental implant placement with pinpoint accuracy. This approach allows us to:

  • Precisely position implants in ideal bone locations
  • Avoid critical structures like nerves and sinuses
  • Minimize incision size and surgical trauma
  • Improve long-term implant success rates

Computer guidance is especially valuable for All-on-4® full arch restorations, single implants, and bone grafting cases.

Digital X-Rays & Panoramic Imaging

We use low-radiation digital X-rays to capture detailed images of teeth, roots, and surrounding bone instantly. Our panoramic X-ray system provides a full-mouth view in a single image—ideal for evaluating impacted teeth, bone levels, and treatment planning for extractions or reconstructive surgery.

Benefits include:

  • Faster diagnostics
  • Enhanced patient communication
  • Easier sharing with your referring dentist

Digital Impressions with iTero®

For procedures requiring precision-fit appliances or surgical guides, we use iTero digital scanning instead of traditional impressions. This scanner captures a high-resolution 3D model of your mouth—without the discomfort of impression trays.

Uses include:

  • Creating surgical guides for implants
  • Coordinating care with your dentist or prosthodontist
  • Improving fit for prosthetics and restorations

Digital impressions streamline treatment planning and reduce errors caused by physical molds.

We combine advanced technology with sedation options and personalized care at our Londonderry and Salem locations.

Technology That Supports Patient Comfort

Advanced imaging and planning tools aren’t just about clinical accuracy—they also enhance patient comfort and confidence. With less invasive techniques, better diagnostics, and shorter surgical times, we’re able to offer a more relaxed and efficient experience.

FAQs

Is Cone Beam CT scanning safe?

Yes. CBCT uses a focused beam and significantly less radiation than hospital-based CT scans. It is safe, quick, and extremely accurate for diagnostic use in oral surgery.

Why is computer-guided implant surgery better?

Computer-guided implants allow for more precise placement, reduced surgical trauma, and better long-term success. It’s especially beneficial for complex or multi-implant procedures.

Are digital impressions more accurate than traditional ones?

Yes. Digital scans eliminate human error, distortions from physical materials, and discomfort for the patient. They're more efficient and more precise.

Do I need a CBCT scan before dental implant surgery?

In most cases, yes. It provides essential 3D data to assess bone quality, location of nerves and sinuses, and helps ensure safe, predictable implant placement.

Is all of this technology available at both offices?

Yes. Both our Londonderry and Salem locations are fully equipped with CBCT scanners, digital X-rays, panoramic imaging, and iTero scanning systems.
