Our Use of Digital Technology
iTero Intraoral Scanner
This small, handheld device takes highly detailed photos inside the mouth. Dr. Bush uses these photos to create a 3-D digital model of the patient's oral tissues. These photos can help her plan and fit Invisalign trays and other applications.
Panoramic Digital Radiographs
Digital radiographs or X-rays allow dentists to look below the surface and see a patient's teeth, bones, and nerves. The panoramic X-ray machine allows Dr. Bush to see the mouth as a whole.
Electronic Medical Records
These records make it much easier to share information between providers and patients to take their information when they visit specialists.
