Dental TechnologyAt Lakeview Dental Center, we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! CARESTREAM CS 8200 3D
At our office, we use the Carestream CS 8200 3D, an imaging system that provides detailed, accurate, and efficient dental scans. This advanced technology ensures precise diagnostics and better treatment planning, all while prioritizing your comfort and safety. Benefits for Our Patients:
This cutting-edge technology helps us deliver the exceptional dental care you deserve. If you have any questions about your imaging needs, feel free to ask our friendly team!  Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone. Intraoral CameraAn intraoral camera is a handheld device shaped like a wand, equipped with a tiny camera at its tip that captures hundreds of high-quality images per second to provide detailed and accurate views of your mouth. This technology not only enhances diagnostic precision but also helps patients better understand their treatment needs by visually demonstrating oral conditions and proposed procedures. Same-Day Crowns Our doctors understand how valuable your time is, which is why we offer same-day dental crowns. Experience the convenience of modern dental technology with fastmill.io™, our state-of-the-art in-office milling system. This advanced tool allows us to craft high-quality, custom crowns right here in our office, often in just a single visit! Traditional dental crowns typically require multiple appointments for multiple procedures. The data we capture with our intraoral wand is wirelessly transferred to our computer system. We then use CAD/CAM software to design your crown "chairside" as you watch in real-time. Next, this information is sent to our milling unit, which transforms a single block of porcelain into your aesthetically-pleasing restoration. 3D Scanning3D imaging gives our doctors a more comprehensive overview of your teeth and gum tissues. This allows us to better diagnose any potential problems and determine the next step in an effective treatment plan. We may utilize 3D imaging for cosmetic or restorative purposes, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants. This image is sometimes used to create a digital impression of your teeth and gums. A digital impression is particularly useful for same-day dental crowns. Diode LaserA soft tissue laser simultaneously cauterizes and cuts an incision in the tissue. For this reason, laser treatment may reduce bleeding, discomfort, and swelling both during and after your procedure. We may use a soft tissue laser to treat periodontal disease by removing the infected lining of the gum tissue. This allows for the regeneration of healthy tissue around the teeth. Soft tissue lasers are also effective for gum contouring and crown lengthening if you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Diagnodent LaserThe diagnodent laser allows us to more effectively identify the presence of decay in the occlusal (bite) surface of a tooth. The diagnodent laser measures laser fluorescence within the mineral structure of a tooth. This allows for the detection of healthy tooth structure, as well as smooth surface dental caries (tooth decay) at their earliest stage. Early detection of tooth decay helps us effectively treat the problem before it requires a costly and invasive restoration.
