At Great Divide Dental, our technology is an important part of delivering exceptional patient care. We invest in advanced dental tools because they help us diagnose more accurately, plan treatment more precisely, and create a more comfortable experience for our patients.
While many dental practices use technology to increase speed and efficiency, our focus remains on quality. We use modern tools to improve care, not to rush treatment. Every patient receives the time, attention, and personalized recommendations they deserve.
By combining advanced technology with a relationship-focused approach, Dr. Benjamin Spiger provides dentistry that is both innovative and personal. Our top technologies at Great Divide Dental include:
3D Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide detailed images of your teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures while exposing our patients to significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
These high-resolution images allow Dr. Spiger to identify concerns that may not be visible during a visual examination, including cavities, infections, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other developing issues. The result is earlier detection, more accurate diagnoses, and better-informed treatment planning.
Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral camera allows patients to see exactly what Dr. Spiger sees during an examination. Using a small handheld camera, we can capture detailed images of your teeth and gums and display them on a chairside monitor. This technology helps patients better understand their oral health, view areas of concern firsthand, and feel more confident when making treatment decisions.
DIAGNOdent® Cavity Detection
Not all cavities are visible during a routine examination or on traditional X-rays. DIAGNOdent® uses advanced laser technology to detect tooth decay in its earliest stages, often before it becomes large enough to cause symptoms or require extensive treatment. By identifying problems sooner, we can often recommend more conservative treatment options and help preserve healthy tooth structure.
DEXIS & TRIOS Digital Scanners
Traditional dental impressions can be uncomfortable and messy. Our DEXIS and TRIOS digital scanners eliminate the need for many conventional impressions by creating highly accurate digital models of your teeth and bite.
These scanners are used for a variety of treatments, including crowns, veneers, dental implants, clear aligners, and smile makeovers. Digital scanning improves patient comfort while providing exceptional precision for treatment planning and laboratory communication.
