Dental Technology
Going to the dentist can be anxiety-inducing for some people, but we make dental care easy, comfortable, and effective.
Using the latest developments in the field of dentistry, your checkups and procedures can be easier than ever.
Timothy M. Kelly, DMD, PA, in Albuquerque, NM, uses dental technology for superior patient experiences and outcomes.
Quick and Accurate Imaging With the iTero Scanner
Advanced technology is a cornerstone of Dr. Tim Kelly’s Albuquerque, NM, dental practice, and the iTero scanner is one of our favorite and most frequently used tools. This scanner can capture detailed images of the entire mouth in a matter of seconds. We can zoom in, rotate, map your bite, identify problem areas, and more–all while you’re sitting in Dr. Kelly’s chair.
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.
iTero Intraoral Scanner
This 3D imaging technology helps take accurate impressions of your teeth and gums to detect abnormalities and plan restorative work like crowns, dentures, and dental implant placement. The digital scans are fast and accurate, lending to a more comfortable experience in the dental chair.

I don’t enjoy going to the dentist but Dr Kelly is very accommodating of my phobias and has been able to give me a pain free experience while they take care of my dental health. Thank you also to the pleasant staff.
