Advanced Dental Technology Beaverton
Technology Designed to Help Smiles Flourish
Technology plays a very large and central role in dental care; without certain tools, instruments, and methods, Dr. Appelhans and our Caring Smiles Dental team wouldn’t be able to provide the precise, gentle care that every one of our patients deserves. These tools also improve the patient experience tenfold! To learn a little more about some of the advanced dental technology in Beaverton we’ll be using to tend to your dental needs, continue reading below.
Digital Dental Impressions

In the past, the process of taking dental impressions wasn’t exactly quick or easy; it involved gooey, foul-tasting impression materials and a considerable amount of tactile effort on the dentist’s part. Now, this entire process can be completed without any of the stress, mess, or inconvenience using our digital impression system. Better yet, these impressions are even more accurate and detailed than those taken using traditional methods, meaning that the treatments they help plan and the restorations they help create will be truly exceptional.
CT/Cone Beam Scanner

Our cone beam scanner is one of our most-used instruments here at our office. This cutting-edge imaging system allows us to easily (and comfortably) capture 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, enabling us to diagnose and plan treatments with exceptional precision. With cone beam technology, we can even detect certain issues early before they have the chance to worsen, as well as enhance treatment outcomes.
Intraoral Camera

Two of our core beliefs here at Caring Smiles Dental are total transparency and patient education, which is why we use an advanced intraoral camera during patient exams and various other sorts of treatments. This small, high-resolution device allows us to capture detailed images inside your mouth, helping us identify issues like cavities and decay early on. But the best part is that it lets patients view exactly what we’re viewing on a nearby screen, making it far easier to understand what’s going on and why certain treatment options may be recommended.
