CT/ Cone Beam Scanner

Precise treatment planning is possible with our CT/Cone Beam Scanner. Taking images of your head, face, and mouth produces a high-resolution 3D model that Dr. Alkamary can review in preparation for dental implant placement or another more invasive form of treatment. The detailed imaging makes it easier to determine location and depth (concerning prosthetic placement), as well as the health and viability of teeth, gums, or bones that require essential treatment.

Intraoral Camera

Dr. Alkamary isn’t just a dentist; she’s also an educator inside and outside our office. This desire to help others learn more about their oral health is made easier thanks to our intraoral camera. During an appointment, she can provide a thorough explanation about the state of your smile by showing real-time images of your teeth and gums on a chairside monitor. This not only gives you a clear view of any problems that exist but also allows you to understand the necessity of maintaining good oral hygiene if you want to avoid more extensive dental care.

Digital X-Rays

The digital X-rays we use in-house provide a clear visual of the areas located beneath the gumline. Unseen by the naked eye, this space can sustain damage and decay over time, which is why using this type of safe diagnostic imaging is essential for patients of all ages. Not only do they emit far less radiation than traditional X-ray devices, but they also produce high-resolution images in seconds for faster review and diagnosis.

Digital Impression System

Creating custom dental crowns, veneers, dental bridges, etc., requires precise dental impressions. Lab technicians must have an accurate model to use if lifelike, comfortable, and well-fitting restorations are to be fabricated. This is why we no longer rely on cold dental putty but instead use our digital impression system. In minutes, Dr. Alkamary can take a handheld scanner and move it along your teeth to produce a highly accurate 3D model that can be used to create reliable restorations for you and your family.

Soft Tissue Laser

Gum disease is one of the leading oral health problems among adults in the United States, but targeting the source of the problem – the bacteria – is now easier and more comfortable than ever with our soft tissue laser. Offering a more patient-friendly approach, the device can remove diseased tissues while leaving healthy tissue intact, effectively treating the problem while also encouraging prompt healing and recovery.

The Wand

Children and adults often admit they dislike the feeling of a needle being used to administer local anesthesia. This is why Dr. Alkamary is pleased to use The Wand – a handheld, digital injection device that makes numbing you or your child’s mouth easier and less worrisome. Thanks to the small amount of anesthetic that is delivered right before the needle touches the tissue, you will not feel any discomfort.
