Digital Scanners
Digital scanners will create a precisely detailed image of your mouth through a digital impression. This device can help our doctors and team capture the dimensions of your mouth perfectly without the mess and inconveniences associated with traditional impressions. To learn more about digital scanners, contact our team today and schedule a visit to our office location near you!
Our office uses a state-of-the-art digital scanner to capture three-dimensional images of the inside of your mouth. Using a digital scanner, our doctors and team can capture high-quality images of your teeth and supporting structures. This makes it easy for us to diagnose problems, create digital models of your mouth and plan treatments. This device captures multiple images in full color, allowing us to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue to plan your treatment. The accurate models created using these images also allow us to ensure that restorations and oral appliances fit perfectly and function properly to improve your oral health and smile.
When our doctors or hygiene team utilize our digital scanner, a small wand will be used to quickly and comfortably scan the inside of your mouth. As the wand passes over your teeth, the images captured will be processed simultaneously to provide an immediate, complete and highly accurate image of your mouth. The pictures are even saved automatically every few seconds, so there is no need for you to sit through a second scan.

Digital X-Rays
Here at Idaho Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use impression-free digital X-rays to perfect the accuracy of your diagnosis and help our doctors plan the proper course of treatment for your individual needs. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of digital X-rays, contact our team today! We also invite you to schedule an appointment with us at one of our locations nearest to you!
Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our doctors can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Decay in between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Digital dental X-rays are used to plan many kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, orthodontics and more. To learn more about digital radiography and how we use X-rays at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us soon.
