Modern Digital Dentistry
Digital tools that support careful, patient-centered care
Our Approach to Technology
Dentistry continues to benefit from digital tools such as digital X-rays and intraoral scanners. Where appropriate, modern digital tools such as these may be used at Northside Dental to support — not replace — the clinical judgment of our dental team.
Digital Tools in Modern Dentistry
A general overview of the kinds of digital tools used across modern dental practices.
Digital Impressions & Scanning
Modern digital scanning tools may be used in place of traditional molds for a more comfortable experience.
Digital X-rays
Digital radiography can reduce radiation exposure compared with older film-based X-rays while producing clear images for diagnosis.
Visual Patient Education
Digital images and visual aids may be used to help you understand your dental health and treatment options.
Digitally Supported Diagnosis
Digital tools can assist our clinicians in reviewing images, but every diagnosis and treatment recommendation is made by our dental team.
Technology as a Partner, Not a Replacement
Digital tools can support our team's work, but every diagnosis and treatment decision is made by our dental professionals, based on your individual examination.
