We are proud of the leading-edge technology we offer at Clarendon Family Dentistry that makes your visits more comfortable and efficient and produces the best possible outcomes for your oral health. Please take a look at what we offer, and call us if you have questions or need to schedule an appointment at our Arlington dental practice.
Digital X-Rays & Sensors
Our low-dose digital x-rays allow our family dentist to see the parts of a tooth we can't see with a visual exam alone. The flat digital sensors we use replace uncomfortable film clips that you hold between your teeth and also produce sharper, crisper images.
By sharing the images with you, we can show you what we see to help you better understand our treatment recommendations. Digital x-rays are better for the environment because there are no harmful chemicals to dispose of as there are with traditional film x-rays.
iTero Digital Scanner
If you've had dental impressions taken with soft, messy putty, you know how uncomfortable they can be. Sometimes, the results weren't as precise as needed, and the process would be repeated. At Clarendon Family Dentistry, we use advanced intraoral scanners to produce digital 3-D models without the mess.
The process involves moving the small handheld scanner over your teeth and watching as it builds the 3-D model on a computer monitor. Taking impressions this way is far more comfortable and also delivers precise images that allow us to custom craft highly accurate restorations like crowns and bridges.
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a device that captures real-time images of your mouth as your dentist moves it over your teeth. The images appear on the TV screen, and you and Dr. Mooney can review them together. Using these images, she can see what isn't apparent during a visual exam and explain her findings.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and seeing what Dr. Mooney sees enables you to understand your dental health and treatment needs better, empowering you to make confident, informed decisions.
Panoramic X-Rays
Digital x-rays are indispensable but only show a few teeth at a time. When Dr. Mooney needs a broader view, she turns to panoramic x-rays. This x-ray produces a comprehensive image of all your teeth, jaw joints, sinuses, abnormal growths, cysts, and tumors. Panoramic x-rays provide valuable information about the jaw structure and tooth positioning and help us plan and diagnose a range of dental treatments, including Invisalign®, dentures, and TMJ issues.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
We want to make your dental visits as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. With our noise-canceling headphones, you can escape the sounds around you and listen to your favorite music or podcast or watch a show on our in-room TV.
TVs in Treatment Rooms
With TVs in every treatment room, you can use our headphones to sit back and enjoy your favorite show or movie while our dental team works to give you a healthier smile.
Digital Records
By using easy-to-access digital records, we can streamline your visits and spend more time providing treatment and less time chasing paperwork. Your information is instantly available, allowing for faster diagnoses and treatment planning and providing quick access across all team members. We store your dental history, medications, x-rays, intraoral images, and notes on our secure in-house network to ensure your privacy.
