CONE Beam: A dental cone beam CT scanner uses x-rays and computer-processed x-ray information to allow the dentist to take 3D images of the mouth and jaw for advanced cases and surgeries. iTero scanner and Invisalign: iTero, the leading digital scanner from the makers of Invisalign clear aligners, scans the mouth and allows patients to see what their smile will look like with invisalign or other orthodontic treatment. Traditional dental impressions are replaced with digital images. Laser Dentistry: Lasers are used to remove decay quickly and painlessly and prepare teeth for filings, and to reshape gums during root canal procedures. CEREC: CEREC machines use 3D scans to produce ceramic inlays, onlays and crowns in 1 day. CEREC is available in select Gentle Dental offices.
