DAVID ROACH FROM THE DESK OF
Recently, we brought a new piece of equipment to the office that we’re pretty excited about. It’s called a Dental Cone Beam CT, and this specialized X-ray is helping us do our jobs better and more efficiently. It’s also improving our patient experience by providing more customized care and a more inclusive treatment plan. These game-changing factors make it official: We love what this piece of equipment brings to our practice. The cone beam’s state-of-the-art technology allows us to see potential issues that we wouldn’t be able to distinguish otherwise. With the CT (computerized tomography) scan the cone beam uses, we can get 3D images of the mouth. Once we’ve scanned a patient’s mouth, we can splice these images, create cross sections, and focus in on specific areas to discover what’s going on deep inside the mouth. The cone beam gives us a better look at a patient’s teeth, soft tissue, nerve pathways, and bone. These in-depth images help us better plan for implants and root canal procedures because we can see the location of a patient’s canals and the insides of the roots much more clearly. Can you see why the other doctors and I just love it? It’s fairly easy and quick to use, and we’re excited about what it means for our practice. This is what we get excited about in the dental world! After it was installed, we spent two days training with the company who makes the cone beam, taking images and learning how to use it properly. We became proficient as a team at conducting these scans and are ready to put it to use for our patients. I’m excited to bring the best in dental technology to you for the benefit of your dental health. We look forward to providing you with even better care with this exciting, new equipment!

By keeping these safety measures in mind, your teen will have a wonderful and safe evening!
We want to send farewell wishes and congratulations to Dr. Zhang! She’ll be getting married on June 22 and moving to Seattle with her husband, where he’ll be starting his residency! We’ll miss her around the office, but we’re so happy for her and wish her the best of luck on her next adventure!
