Using Technology for Faster, More Effective Results
At Hastings Family Dental, we feature the latest advances in dentistry to provide our patients with the best possible care. Our dental technology allows for shorter visits, increased comfort, and more effective care — most importantly, it makes your life easier.
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology provides a safe and minimally-invasive approach for treating plaque, tartar, and oral diseases. Best of all, there’s no need for incisions or stitches, and you’ll be able to receive dental implants right away.
CAD/CAM Crown & Bridge Imaging
CAD/CAM imaging allows our dentists to provide same-day crowns and bridges in a single visit. This advanced technology offers a faster solution to create restorations with an improved design and aesthetic.
What Is CAD/CAM and How Can It Help Treatment?
CAD/CAM technology, which stands for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, is used to design and create crowns, bridges, and dentures. Featuring 3D printing technology, CAD/CAM turns a computer model into physical reality in less than an hour. This means you can come in for treatment preparation and leave with a beautifully restored smile all in one day.
3D Cone-Beam X-Rays
Unlike traditional dental x-rays, 3D imaging allows our dentists to see your anatomy with better image quality and minimal radiation exposure. Multiple views and angles of your mouth are produced in seconds, for thorough examinations and effective treatment planning.
Digital Full-Mouth Scanning
With the help of digital scanning, our dentists are able to provide patients with precise-fitting dental crowns and bridges. This technology can create an exact impression of your mouth in as little as 45 seconds.
How Are Digital X-Rays Improving Dental Treatment?
Digital imaging is a great improvement in dentistry that offers features to enhance the viewing of any problem areas. Digital X-rays use low levels of radiation and are easily displayed instantly on a computer screen for both our patients and doctors to see. X-rays are important for diagnosing dental decay, failing crowns and fillings, planning the placement of dental implants, and for root canals.
