Our TechnologyAt Simonsen Dental we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! Intraoral CameraAn intraoral camera is a handheld appliance that is shaped like a wand. The tiny camera at the tip of the appliance takes hundreds of pictures per second to capture an in-depth and accurate image of your mouth. This image is sometimes used to create a digital impression of your teeth and gums. A digital impression is particularly useful for same-day dental crowns. ![]() Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which required film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically, the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone. Ultrasonic ScalerAt Simonsen Dental, our tools offer you the best care. We take pride in staying current with our skills and techniques. One tool we frequently use is the Ultrasonic Scaler—essential for most adult cleanings. It loosens and removes hardened plaque (tartar or calculus) from teeth without harming the enamel. This helps eliminate bacteria, prevent decay, and support healthy teeth and gums. Most adult cleanings involve the ultrasonic scaler. Sometimes called a deep cleaning, this treatment removes tartar that collects along and beneath the gum line—a leading cause of gum disease. Since more than half of adults experience some level of gum disease, removing this buildup helps preserve the health and longevity of your teeth.
