Precision Dentistry

When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Escobar and her staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care. 

Digital Imaging

Dr. Escobar chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs. Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Escobar utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office.With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better. Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Digital X-Rays:

Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.

Intraoral Camera

Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with high-tech practices. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing. Dr. Escobar utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of a diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera – in some cases, just a few millimeters long. An intraoral camera allows us to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair time for you! Intraoral cameras also enable us to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, for other specialists, and for your lab or insurance companies.
