Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Our dentist and team are committed to providing you with high-quality care tailored to your individual needs. One of the advanced dental technologies we use to meet this goal is our 3D cone beam imaging system.
This state-of-the-art technology provides us with three-dimensional reconstructions of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat, giving us a highly detailed and comprehensive understanding of your oral health needs. The images captured by this device are more detailed than those provided by regular X-rays, allowing our dentist to diagnose and evaluate dental conditions and provide you with more precise and effective care to restore your oral health and smile more easily.

Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays produce highly detailed images so that our dentist can provide you with more efficient and accurate diagnoses and treatments that meet your needs. X-rays are used in many different types of treatment, including oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implant placement and orthodontic treatment. Using X-rays, our team can diagnose a wide range of problems, including:
- Tooth decay
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts, abscesses and tumors
- Fractures in the teeth and in fillings
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Digital X-rays are also very safe for use and, in fact, produce up to 90% less radiation than film X-rays.
Intraoral Camera
Dr. Annissa Michael may use an intraoral camera when examining your teeth and mouth. Intraoral cameras are small, pen-shaped imaging devices used to take photos of your teeth, gums and other areas of your mouth.
Because this camera is small and easily maneuverable, it can reach all areas of your mouth with ease, including those areas that are otherwise impossible to view. The high-quality color photos captured by the camera give our dentist a greater understanding of your oral health needs and help us diagnose problems such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and tooth damage and provide treatment that meets your needs.
Benefits of Using an Intraoral Camera
- Excellent education tool
- Images are displayed almost instantaneously
- You can see what we see
- Better understanding of your oral health
- Quick and easy to use
- Images can be sent to other dentists or specialists if needed
- Help you make informed decisions
