What is Dental Technology?

Dental technology involves using advanced equipment to improve patient care. Improvements in dental imaging, computer-guided procedures, and other areas help oral surgeons provide the highest quality care.

Benefits of Technology in Dentistry

Better Diagnostic Capability—Technology gives oral surgeons more tools to diagnose dental problems. Accurate diagnosis means that patients receive the best treatment and shorten recovery times.
Safer Surgeries- Surgeries planned with the 3-D Cone Beam Imaging scanner and computer-guided implant technology are safer and more efficient, reducing the risk of complications.
Improved Communication- With today’s detailed imaging results, oral surgeons can easily share information and help patients understand their procedure and their oral health.

Technology We Use for Implants & Oral Surgeries

3-D Cone Beam Imaging (CT Scan)

The 3-D Cone Beam Imaging scanner is a specialized X-ray machine that provides more detailed information than a standard dental or facial X-ray. The technology that powers this equipment is what doctors use to create CT scans.

The scanner uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to produce 3-D images. In just one scan, the cone beam scanner can capture bones, nerves, and teeth. The images are more precise than traditional or digital X-rays.

Cone beam technology provides a computerized tomographic three-dimensional view of the patient’s area of interest. Conventional X-rays show only two dimensions. With cone beam devices, the dentist may see the tooth and its surroundings in complete 360 degrees.

Compared to conventional medical CT technology, the Vatech 3D Cone Beam scanner uses less radiation and offers almost infinite views of the teeth. This new technology offers several amazing advantages that were impossible just a few years ago. It is quick, easy, and painless.

Computer-Guided Implant Placement

Our Team uses 3-D Cone Beam Imaging scanners to plan implant surgeries. Using guided surgery software, he can plan accurate treatments and increase safety and efficiency.

The surgeon can visualize the anatomy of teeth, bones, nerves, and nasal and sinus cavities. Knowing their precise location allows the surgeon to perform the implant surgery with a lower chance of complications.

DEXIS Intraoral Scanner

Intraoral scanners are small, handheld devices that the surgeon can use to capture detailed images of the patient’s mouth. This scanner creates accurate digital impressions without the hassle of dealing with traditional trays. The scanner’s images appear on the surgeon’s monitor, enabling them to share important information and explain treatment decisions.

Traditionally, dentists made impressions using trays filled with a soft, untidy, and frequently unpleasant-tasting substance that solidified over the patient’s teeth and gums to create a mold of their teeth. As a result, the lab and doctors could use an accurate model to plan treatment and make final restorations.

Thanks to the digital intraoral scanner, our office can now comfortably and accurately take digital impressions of a patient’s teeth. Precision impressions are an essential component of many dental procedures.

I’m not a patient at the center, but the help I have received from them is beyond words. I’m here at UCDavis to help my niece (19 year old international student) with her medical and dental care needs after an electric scooter accident. I work as an administrator in medical field in another State, it has been very hard for me to get things done that she needs here. I was looking for a dental surgeon after her jaw surgery, and nobody from School Student Health and insurance company could point me to the right direction. The provider’s list provided by the insurance company is outdated. I was searching online and I found the Center. I didn’t see the Center is on the insurance list, but a feeling told me to give them a call. I’m so glad I did. Angela was the sweetest person I have encountered over the phone. Her compassion and caring heart just poured out after she heard my niece’s story. Even though their office won’t be able to help with what my niece needs, she still went above and beyond to offer help. She took initiative to call the surgeon’s office to get the surgery info to help moving forward. In today’s world, you don’t see or hear something like this happen anymore, I am very grateful for experiencing this in Davis, CA. It gives me hope for the society and the values people still hold. They can do this for a stranger, can you imagine what they will do for their own patients ? So if you are looking for an oral surgeon’s office, I highly recommend the Center to you! They don’t know that I’m posting this ( I normally don’t), this is from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Angela, I wish the best for you and the Center. Wen DePriest

Dr. Albadawi, the technicians, and the staff are all very polite, professional, and a treat to be served by! I had two implants set today and the process was smooth and easy. I've been here once before and the level of service and care is spectacular. Definitely recommend for any oral surgery needs 😊

I don’t always share on here but I wanted to. I was terrified to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I have been avoiding it for years and finally I broke one of my wisdom teeth was having such bad pain from the break I had no choice. I searched for a few days for an oral surgeon to take them out and all had a long wait time. I called on a Friday and by Monday I was getting my wisdom teeth removed. Mind you this was days before Christmas. So I was so glad to find a place to squeeze me in on short notice. Even though I was terrified, the pain was so bad I needed to do it. The team was so friendly and supportive even though I was extremely afraid. They talked me through the prep process and that was super helpful. I wish I could remember the woman’s name who held my hand while I was going under she was truly so helpful. I was so nervous and afraid and she was very friendly (and so was everyone else) but her holding my hand really helped me when I was scared. It’s been 10 days post op and I’ve healed up very well. I still have some soreness and discomfort but every day it gets better and I’m sure I’ll be back to myself in no time. I highly recommend this place if you need oral surgery.

My daughter had to have all four wisdom teeth removed, a week before she moved into her college dorm at Davis. She was so nervous and had to be fully put under. It was extremely hard for me waiting in the waiting room and not being there for her, but, from start to finish everyone was absolutely amazing. The gals at the front desk kept me distracted while the surgeon and his team took great care of my baby girl. Let me just add, we were supposed to have her teeth pulled at another oral surgeon, but something about them made me so uneasy and overly anxious. I didn’t think I had an option to take my girl somewhere else since they were referred by our dentist. However, motherly instinct set in and I called Davis Oral Surgery, they verified insurance, did a consult and scheduled her. All within a week. Thank you Angie and your partner (shame on me for not knowing her name), for your kindness and PATIENCE!! even though I called like five times. I was so stressed and overwhelmed and from the moment I called you, and you assured me it would be okay and I felt so much better. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to most, but my daughter is all I have so everything is a big deal to me. So thank you! Thank you 🙏🏼
