Advanced Dental Technology Walnut Creek

Moving with the Current of Dentistry

More so than ever, the quality of a person’s dental care is greatly influenced by the technology their dentist uses. Dr. David works diligently to stay ahead of the curve so that as soon as a type of advanced dental technology is proven to create a better result or smoother experience, he incorporates it into his practice in Walnut Creek.

3D Printer

Thanks to our 3D printer, we can create nightguards, surgical guides, and models so we can give you a preview of what your teeth will look like after a certain treatment. Previously these appliances would require us to work with an outside lab, adding time and expense. Now, we can better control the quality of what we produce and do it in a fraction of the time.

Digital Impressions

Device for taking digital impressions

We often need to take an impression of a patient’s teeth before doing a variety of procedures, and instead of having them bite into a mold filled with putty, we can take a more sophisticated approach. Instead, we scan the mouth using a small instrument, and this generates a highly detailed model of the teeth in a matter of minutes.

CT/Cone Beam Scanner

Rather than offering a closer look at a few teeth, our CT/cone beam scanner captures multiple images at various angles to generate a 3D model that includes both rows of teeth, your jaws, and more. We can interact with this image to show you everything regarding your dental health, plus it allows us to easily plan complex procedures.

Soft Tissue Laser

Treating a patient with a soft tissue laser

We use our soft tissue laser to perform gingivectomy procedures for patients with gum disease, and it also allows us to provide comfortable and precise frenectomies to correct lip and tongue ties.

Intraoral Camera

Dr. David says that “seeing is believing” when it comes to explaining your oral health. Using an intraoral camera, he’ll take close-up images of your teeth and gums that he’ll go over with you on a nearby monitor. You’ll see everything he does, which will make his treatment suggestions much easier to understand.
