Dental Technology

CEREC® technology has transformed how we restore damaged teeth. Instead of requiring multiple visits and temporary crowns, CEREC® allows us to design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single appointment. Using advanced 3D imaging, we capture a digital model of your tooth, then create a restoration that matches your natural tooth color and shape. The result? A durable, natural-looking crown that restores your smile quickly and comfortably, without the hassle of multiple visits.

The MouthWatch intraoral camera is a small, high-resolution device that gives you a dentist’s-eye view of your oral health. It captures clear, detailed images inside your mouth so we can show you areas of concern such as cavities, cracks, or gum problems. This transparency helps you understand your treatment options and make informed decisions about your care. By involving you visually, the intraoral camera ensures you feel confident and supported throughout your dental journey.

Introduced in 1987, digital radiography combines computer technology with electronic sensors to produce instant, high-quality images. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays appear on a computer screen within seconds, making diagnosis faster and more accurate. They also reduce radiation exposure significantly, making them a safer choice for patients.

Advantages of Digital X-Rays:

• Streamlined Scheduling: Faster processing makes appointments shorter and more efficient.
• Better Storage: Images are stored securely in your digital file and can be shared easily if needed.
• Finer Images: Provides up to 256 shades of gray (compared to only 25 with traditional film), allowing us to detect even subtle issues early.

With enhanced clarity and efficiency, digital X-rays give us a comprehensive view of your oral health so we can provide the most precise care possible.

Our intraoral scanner replaces messy, uncomfortable impressions with a clean, simple digital process. In just minutes, the scanner captures a complete 3D image of your teeth and gums. The result is an accurate, radiation-free impression that helps us design crowns, veneers, implants, and other treatments with exact precision.

Benefits of Intraoral Scanning:

• Non-invasive and comfortable for patients
• Instant digital results, no waiting for lab molds
• Environmentally friendly with no chemicals or disposable trays
• Helps speed up treatment planning and delivery

This technology not only makes your visit easier but also ensures that restorations fit better, feel more natural, and last longer.

Dentistry of Upland uses advanced 3D printing to bring digital designs to life right in our office. With this technology, we can create models, surgical guides, and dental appliances quickly and accurately. 3D printing reduces turnaround times for certain treatments and gives us more control over the customization of your care.

By combining precision with efficiency, 3D printing allows us to provide modern solutions that are both highly accurate and tailored to your individual needs.
