Technology We Use

The technology behind a predictable result

Imaging and planning tools exist to remove guesswork.

Technology

Every tool below changes a decision we would otherwise have to estimate.

The technology used to plan your care.

Imaging, digital records, and visualization each play a different role. These tools help our team evaluate your needs and communicate a treatment plan.

Digital records

Intraoral scanning

Digital scans capture the surfaces of your teeth and information about your bite. These records help the clinical and laboratory teams plan selected restorations without conventional impressions in suitable cases.

  • Digital impressions
  • Bite records
  • Restoration planning
Three-dimensional imaging

3D cone beam imaging

Cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT, provides three-dimensional views of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. Your dentist determines when this imaging is appropriate for diagnosis or treatment planning.

  • 3D anatomy
  • Bone assessment
  • Implant planning
Diagnostic images

Digital X-rays

Digital radiographs help your dentist evaluate areas that cannot be seen in a routine visual examination. The type and timing of imaging are selected according to your individual needs.

  • Dental assessment
  • Treatment planning
  • Digital records
A closer look

Intraoral cameras

A small camera captures close-up views inside your mouth. These images help the team explain findings and discuss your care while showing you the areas being evaluated.

  • Close-up images
  • Patient communication
  • Visual documentation

Your dentist selects the records and imaging appropriate to your needs; not every appointment requires every type of scan.

Implant technology

ARUM NB Implant System

Implant planning brings together your bone anatomy, the implant design, and the restoration that will replace your tooth. The ARUM NB (Natural Balance) system offers fixture options for different bone conditions.

Designs for different bone conditions

ARUM identifies NB I for hard bone and NB II for soft bone. Your dentist evaluates bone quality and the treatment plan when selecting an implant.

Implant connection

The system uses an internal hex connection with an 11-degree taper. This is the interface between the implant fixture and the component that supports the restoration.

Surface & protective packaging

ARUM describes an S.L.A. implant surface and an Ampoule Shield packaging design intended to protect the fixture surface before placement.

Your consultation helps determine which implant and restorative approach are appropriate for your needs.

ARUM milling technology

X550 & X450 milling for denture creation

Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) connects your dental records to the fabrication of your denture. ARUM milling technology shapes compatible dental materials from a digital design, bringing the planned contours into a physical restoration.

Plan & design

A denture designed digitally

Digital records and bite information guide the design. The team considers tooth position, shape, and the denture base before preparing the manufacturing file.

  • Digital records
  • Bite information
  • Denture design
Mill & finish

From material disc to denture components

A milling machine removes material from a compatible disc to create the planned shape. The material, tools, and manufacturing workflow are selected for the denture being made. Finishing, assembly where needed, and a clinical fit check follow.

  • Computer-guided milling
  • Hands-on finishing
  • Fit & bite evaluation

Clinical Excellence

How the technology changes the result

Computer-Guided Precision

3D planning and surgical guides help us aim for sub-millimeter accuracy on your anatomy — more predictable implant seating, conservative tissue work, and a clearer picture of the outcome before the day of treatment.

Next Generation Digital Dentistry

Digital scans replace messy impressions for many visits — comfortable captures, fewer goopy trays, and smoother handoffs between restorative, surgical, and lab teams.

Advanced Oral Surgery & Implants

Complex extractions, grafting, and implant surgery are coordinated with board-certified specialists and our in-house restorative doctors — one roadmap from surgery through healing checks and final teeth.
