Technology
Planned in 3D, healed with less downtime
The tools we use to plan implants precisely, diagnose what flat X-rays miss, and help surgical sites heal faster.
- 01
Digital X-rays
Sensors instead of film capture images of your teeth and bone in seconds.
Why it matters: Lower radiation than film X-rays, instant images on screen, and easy to show you exactly what we see.
- 02
3D cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging
A 3D scan of your jaw, teeth, nerves and sinuses, taken while you stand or sit for a few seconds.
Why it matters: Essential for planning implants, grafts and sinus lifts precisely, and for diagnosing problems flat X-rays can miss.
- 03
3D scanning
Digital three-dimensional views of your mouth for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Why it matters: More precise planning, and a clearer picture to explain your options.
- 04
Computer-guided implant placement
Your implant is planned on the 3D scan, and a surgical guide directs it to that exact position and angle.
Why it matters: Implants placed where the final tooth needs them, with fewer surprises during surgery.
- 05
Dental lasers, including Nd:YAG
Lasers used for certain surgical and gum procedures.
Why it matters: Minimally invasive treatment, with less discomfort and faster healing for many procedures.
- 06
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)
A healing material made from a small sample of your own blood.
Why it matters: Placed in surgical sites after extractions, grafts and implants to support healing.
Desert Dental Alternatives is a dental practice, not a dental laboratory.
