What We Use in the Office
3D Printing Technology
Modern dentistry has transformed the way dental restorations and appliances are created. Our advanced 3D printing technology allows us to produce highly accurate dental models, surgical guides, retainers, and other custom solutions with remarkable precision.
By utilizing digital workflows and 3D printing, we can improve treatment planning, enhance accuracy, and provide a smoother experience from start to finish. This technology helps us deliver predictable results while reducing the need for traditional impressions and multiple appointments whenever possible.
CBCT Scanner
Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional dental X-rays, CBCT imaging gives our team a comprehensive view of your oral health, allowing for more precise diagnoses and treatment planning.
CBCT technology is especially valuable for:
- Dental implant planning
- Wisdom tooth evaluations
- Root canal treatment planning
- TMJ assessments
- Detecting hidden infections or abnormalities
- Evaluating bone structure and airway health
With highly detailed imaging, we can make more informed decisions and develop treatment plans tailored specifically to your needs.
Digital Scanner
Say goodbye to messy traditional impressions. Our digital scanner captures highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums in minutes, creating a comfortable and efficient experience for patients of all ages.
Digital impressions provide numerous benefits, including:
- Improved comfort
- Faster appointment times
- Greater accuracy
- Enhanced treatment planning
- Better-fitting restorations and appliances
The digital scans can be used for crowns, bridges, clear aligners, retainers, and many other dental treatments, helping us achieve predictable and precise results.

One of the ways Highland Dental Associates stands apart is through our in-office dental laboratory. Having lab capabilities on-site allows our team to work closely with the design and fabrication process, helping ensure exceptional quality and attention to detail.
