Our Dental Technology

Digital X-Rays

Our Albuquerque dentist uses digital X-rays to view the teeth and jawbones. This allows us to detect abnormalities and plan treatment for oral diseases and conditions. Digital X-rays are fast and efficient while exposing patients to less radiation than traditional X-rays. Routine X-rays help your dentist detect problems early so your treatment can be more conservative.

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

CBCT scans are an advanced type of X-ray technology that takes up to 200 3D images of your teeth, mouth, jaw, and more from different angles in just minutes. This technology is often used in implant dentistry because the digital scans provide accurate measurements of a patient's jaw, allowing our dentist to choose the correct implant size, maximize the available jawbone, and reduce the risk of misaligned implants. CBCT is also used to diagnose and treat TMD.
