BENEFITS OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Advancements in dentistry have transformed the way doctors diagnose and treat oral health concerns. Thanks to modern science and innovative tools, today’s techniques allow patients to receive care with greater comfort, improved accuracy, and more efficient appointments than ever before.
Choosing a doctor who invests in advanced dental technology offers many benefits, including:
Key Benefits
- Shorter Patient Appointments
- High-Quality Images
- Accurate Diagnosis Process
- Secure Transfer of Images
- Environmentally Friendly Options
3-D IMAGING
One of the most effective technologies we use in our office is 3-D imaging. This advanced tool helps us visualize what cannot be seen with the naked eye, allowing for a deeper understanding of your dental and oral health.
With 3-D imaging, we can:
- Detect what’s happening between teeth
- Evaluate bone density levels
- Analyze the overall health of your teeth and jaws
More importantly for a Prosthodontist, 3-D imaging allows us to examine the nerves and roots of your teeth, helping us assess your needs and determine the treatment plan that will work best for you.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
As dental technology has continued to evolve, the goal has remained the same: enhance patient comfort and deliver optimal results. Our office is proud to offer digital X-rays, a safer and more convenient way to diagnose underlying issues.
Digital X-rays offer major advantages, including:
- Up to 90% less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays
- Faster results with less waiting time
- Clear, detailed imaging for improved diagnosis
The process is similar to traditional dental X-rays: a sensor is placed in your mouth to capture images of your teeth. However, instead of waiting for the film to develop, your images appear instantly on a screen for your doctor and team to review.
Effortless Precision Dental Care with TRIOS 5
When it comes to groundbreaking advancements in dental technology, the TRIOS 5 intraoral scanner stands out. Designed for seamless operation, unmatched accuracy, and impeccable hygiene, this next-generation scanner has revolutionized modern dentistry.
At the forefront of integrating this cutting-edge device into exceptional patient care in Sacramento is Dr. Diana Fat, a trusted expert in prosthodontics.
MODJAW – Real Jaw Motion for Smarter, Personalized Care
At our practice, we go beyond static images — we use MODJAW, a cutting-edge 4D dental technology that captures your jaw’s natural movement in real time.
Unlike traditional digital tools that only show how your teeth look at rest, MODJAW records how your jaw functions during everyday activities like chewing and speaking, allowing for a more complete and accurate view of your bite.
Why This Matters
Traditional dental scans provide a still snapshot of your teeth. MODJAW adds movement — giving us a dynamic digital model of your jaw motion that can:
- Help diagnose complex bite and joint issues with greater accuracy
- Improve restorative planning by showing how teeth contact during function
- Enhance comfort and long-term outcomes with truly personalized design
By integrating real jaw movement data into your digital treatment plan, we deliver customized care that fits not just the shape of your smile — but the way it works.
In-House 3D Printer – Precision Fabrication for Faster Results
Our practice features an advanced in-house 3D printer, bringing the latest in dental manufacturing technology directly into our clinic.
With 3D printing, we can produce custom dental appliances and models right here — often in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional lab methods.
What This Means for You
- Faster turnaround for appliances like surgical guides, night guards, temporary crowns, and models
- Greater precision and fit through digital design and layer-by-layer printing
- Seamless integration with our digital scans and CAD/CAM systems for superior accuracy
In-house 3D printing enhances efficiency and quality — helping us deliver custom, comfortable care without unnecessary delays.
