What is Advanced Dental Technology?
Gone are the days of messy putty impressions, waiting weeks for an outside lab, and relying on limited diagnostic tools. At our Mount Dora office, we have fully integrated modern technology into every aspect of your care. From ultra-precise 3D digital scanners (like iTero and Primescan) to our advanced in-house Primemill, we have the tools to diagnose issues with pinpoint accuracy and craft permanent, beautiful restorations in a single visit. Whether you are here for a routine checkup or a complex surgical procedure, our technology is designed entirely around improving your experience.
Why Choose Smiles by Hazen in Mount Dora and Why Technology Matters.
We don’t just invest in technology for the sake of having new gadgets; we invest in it because it directly improves your quality of care. Here is how our advanced tools benefit you:
- No More Messy Impressions: Say goodbye to uncomfortable, gag-inducing putty. Our digital scanners capture a highly accurate, high-definition 3D model of your mouth in minutes, ensuring a flawless fit for crowns, aligners, and dentures.
- Same-Day Smile Transformations: Our in-house milling technology eliminates the need for fragile temporary fixes and multiple appointments. We can design, craft, and permanently place your custom ceramic crown or restoration in just one visit.
- Safer, Low-Radiation Diagnostics: We utilize Dexis digital X-rays and innovative NIRI (Near-Infrared Imaging) technology. This significantly reduces your radiation exposure while allowing us to proactively detect cavities between teeth before they even show up on a traditional X-ray.
- Unmatched Surgical Precision: Our 3D CBCT imaging provides a comprehensive, 360-degree view of your jawbone, nerve pathways, and airway. This high-resolution insight allows Dr. Gilliland to plan complex procedures—like extractions and dental implants—with absolute safety and predictability.
- See What We See: Digital dentistry is transparent. We display your high-resolution scans and X-rays on a monitor right in front of you, taking the mystery out of your care and allowing you to confidently collaborate on your treatment plan.
