CBCT Cone Beam Technology
Our state-of-the-art CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner at West Augusta Dental Associates provides detailed 3-D images of your teeth, bones, soft tissues, and airways.
This revolutionary technology allows our Augusta dentists to view your oral structures from every angle, leading to more precise treatment planning for dental implants, root canals, and other complex procedures. Unlike traditional x-rays, these detailed 3-D scans give us the most complete view of your oral health, helping us provide you with the highest standard of dental care.
Panoramic X-Ray
Our panoramic x-ray technology provides a comprehensive view of your entire mouth in a single, detailed image. This advanced imaging system rotates around your head to capture your teeth, sinuses, and jaws—all while you stand comfortably still for just a few moments.
Our Augusta dentists use these detailed panoramic images to evaluate your overall oral health, plan treatments more effectively, and detect potential concerns that might not be visible during a regular exam.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera technology lets you see exactly what we see during your dental exam. This tiny, pen-sized camera captures high-resolution images of your teeth and gums and displays them instantly on a chairside screen.
Our Augusta dentists use these detailed images to better explain your oral health conditions and treatment options, helping you make more informed decisions about your dental care. It's like taking a guided tour of your mouth—finally seeing what we see helps make dental care more understandable and engaging!
3-D Printer
At our Augusta dental office, we harness the power of 3-D printing technology to create precise, custom dental solutions right in our office. Our advanced printer fabricates detailed models of your teeth, comfortable night guards, temporary dentures, and crown and bridge components with remarkable accuracy.
This innovative technology allows our team to provide faster service and perfectly fitted dental appliances. By creating these custom pieces in-house, we can ensure quality control while reducing your wait time for essential dental products.
Digital X-Rays
West Augusta Dental Associates uses advanced digital x-ray technology to provide safer, more efficient dental care. These state-of-the-art images allow our Augusta team to detect potential issues earlier while exposing you to up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional x-rays.
Digital x-rays produce instant, high-resolution images that we can easily share with you chairside, helping you better understand your oral health. Our environmentally conscious practice also appreciates that digital imaging eliminates the need for harmful chemical processing.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
At West Augusta Dental Associates, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as a safe, gentle sedation option to help you feel relaxed during dental procedures. This mild sedative is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a comfortable nose mask, creating a calm, peaceful feeling while you remain fully conscious.
Our experienced Augusta team carefully monitors your comfort level throughout your visit. The effects of the sedation wear off quickly, and you'll even be able to drive yourself home! This is an ideal solution for patients who experience dental anxiety.
Digital Records
At West Augusta Dental Associates, we maintain secure digital dental records to provide you with more efficient, coordinated care. Our paperless system allows our Augusta dental team to instantly access your complete dental history, treatment plans, and images while protecting your private information.
Digital records make it easy to share information with specialists when needed, track your oral health progress over time, and send insurance claims faster. Plus, our eco-friendly approach to record-keeping helps reduce paper waste while improving accuracy and organization.
Televisions in Treatment Rooms
Televisions in our treatment rooms allow us to share pertinent information, such as photos and x-rays, with our patients. This makes diagnosing and treatment planning more transparent, as you can see what we see and better understand your treatment needs.
This allows our patients to make educated and informed decisions about the right dental care and treatments for their specific needs and smile goals.
Digital Impressions
At West Augusta Dental Associates, we've replaced messy traditional putty impressions with comfortable digital scanning technology. Our advanced intraoral scanner captures precise 3-D images of your teeth and gums in just minutes, with no goopy materials or gagging.
These highly accurate digital impressions help us create perfectly fitted crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations while making your experience more comfortable. Our team can even show you a digital preview of your smile during your visit! This modern approach means better-fitting restorations and shorter appointment times.
