3D Cone-Beam Imaging
When planning an advanced treatment like surgical dental implant placement or root canal therapy, our dentists always want to proceed with full confidence. Here at Brooks Dental, we utilize the Carestream 9300 3D Scanner, which provides three-dimensional imaging of the teeth, jaw, joints, and related facial structures with crystal-clear clarity. This 3D imaging allows us to proceed with surgeries and root canal treatments with a great deal of precision and predictability.

iTero Digital Impression System
Older patients surely remember the days of having to sit still in the dentist’s chair with their mouths filled with a tray of messy impression material. The astounding digital advancements in dentistry have made this process a whole lot easier for our patients, while maintaining the utmost accuracy. Today, the Brooks Dental team offers the iTero chairside oral scanner, which captures thousands of tiny photos as the scanning wand is moved throughout the mouth. The result is a full mouth scan that aids us in patient education, as well as fabrication of Invisalign trays, nightguards, crowns, dentures, and more!
Soft Tissue Laser
Gummy smiles can cause you to feel apprehensive about your appearance; however, with the Gemini soft tissue diode laser, our dentists can carefully remove excess tissue with ease. Carefully and gently targeting gum overgrowth allows us to reveal a more balanced aesthetic that is also less likely to succumb to gum disease in the future.
Our soft tissue laser has many uses beyond gum tissue removal; we also use our laser to eliminate unsightly dark or pigmented areas on the gums and even treat active cold sores. It offers easy application, little to no bleeding, no need for suturing, and no swelling.
Intraoral Imaging
Intraoral cameras can reveal so many important details about your smile, both for our dental team and for you! The camera-tipped wand will capture high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and more, transferring them to a monitor in the treatment room for immediate viewing. From there, our dentists can refer to these images as a helpful visual aid for our patients. We often refer to our intraoral pictures when discussing our findings and potential treatment recommendations so that you feel well-informed in your dental treatment decisions.
iTero Cavity Detection System
The development of cavities is a gradual process, and our team will always strive to identify and treat them when it is necessary. To that end, we use iTero NIRI (Near Infrared) technology, which has been clinically proven to help dentists locate up to 20% more instances of tooth decay than traditional diagnostic methods. This comprehensive and precise approach allows us to determine the extent of existing tooth decay on an X-ray as well as walk you through this diagnostic process.
