Dentistry is much different today than it used to be; technology is constantly evolving and changing the way that we’re able to care for teeth, gums, and other oral structures. This also greatly benefits patients since it allows for more accessible, streamlined, and comfortable treatment. Since our team’s top priority here at Baldwin Dental of Jacksonville has always been to help you and your loved ones receive the care you deserve, we’ve made sure to keep up with the latest advancements in dental technology that allow us to do precisely that!
Intraoral Camera
This wand-shaped device lets us examine every angle of the inside of your mouth, thanks to the small camera on one end. The high-quality images it produces make it easier to catch even the smallest signs of decay or the earliest symptoms of gum disease. And since we can display these images on our chairside monitor, we can show our findings to you instead of leaving the issue to your imagination. This lets you feel like you’re an active participant when it comes to planning your treatment, granting you further peace of mind.
Digital Dental X-Rays
X-rays are nothing new to dentistry, and for many years they’ve played an integral part in treatment planning and diagnosis. Nowadays, their purpose hasn’t changed, but you’ll find that digital X-rays are often preferred to traditional radiography. This is because the process involves much less radiation than it used to, and we can have the images developed right away instead of using a darkroom. Not to mention, the clarity that digital images offer makes it significantly easier to pinpoint decay and other problem areas between your teeth and other areas that would normally be hard to see, ultimately keeping your smile much healthier!
