At the office of Ronald C. Fuhrmann DDS, in Virginia Beach, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality dental care through the use of advanced dental technologies. Our commitment to innovation enables us to provide more efficient, comfortable, and precise treatments, along with more accurate diagnoses.
Using the latest dental technologies underscores our commitment to staying at the cutting edge of dentistry to ensure you'll always receive exceptional care. From safer digital X-rays to the more comfortable and precise digital impressions with the iTero scanner, and the enhanced understanding gained through intraoral cameras, we leverage these advancements to improve your dental experience and treatment results. Our top dental technologies in Virginia Beach include:
Intraoral Camera
At our Virginia Beach dental office, we utilize intraoral cameras as a valuable tool to enhance your understanding of your oral health. This small, handheld camera allows us to take real-time, magnified images inside your mouth. These detailed visuals can be displayed on a monitor, enabling you to see exactly what we see – whether it's a small cavity, a cracked filling, or the condition of your gums. By providing this clear view, we can better explain our findings, discuss treatment options more effectively, and empower you to make informed decisions about your dental care. The intraoral camera helps to make your examination more transparent and collaborative.
iTero Scanner
We are pleased to offer enhanced comfort and precision in our office using the iTero scanner. This state-of-the-art digital impression system eliminates the need for traditional, messy putty molds. Instead, the iTero scanner uses a handheld wand to quickly and comfortably capture detailed 3D digital images of your teeth and gums. This technology allows for more accurate planning of treatments like Invisalign and dental restorations, and it provides a more pleasant experience for you. The digital impressions can also be easily stored and shared electronically, streamlining the treatment process.
Digital Bite Wing and Periapical X-Rays
At our practice, we utilize digital bite-wing and periapical X-rays as an essential part of your dental evaluation. Digital radiography offers several advantages, including significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays. Bite-wing X-rays help us to detect cavities between your teeth and assess the height of the bone supporting your teeth, while periapical X-rays provide a detailed view of the entire tooth, from the crown to the root, and the surrounding bone. These digital images are captured quickly and can be viewed instantly on a computer screen, allowing us to efficiently diagnose any issues and discuss them with you more effectively. This technology helps us provide you with thorough and safe dental care.
Digital Panorex
For a comprehensive view of your oral health, we utilize digital panoramic X-rays. Unlike smaller, individual X-rays, a panoramic X-ray captures a single image of all your teeth, upper and lower jaws, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ). This broad view is invaluable for assessing overall dental development, identifying impacted teeth, evaluating jawbone health, and screening for other conditions.
Similar to our other digital X-ray technologies, digital panoramic X-rays involve significantly less radiation than traditional methods, providing immediate, clear images to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital Panorex technology allows us to gain a complete understanding of your oral health in a single scan.
