Technology

At Marysville Family Dentistry, we're committed to providing the safest, most advanced care for our patients. That's why we use state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology in our office.

Digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film x-rays, making them particularly safe for children and families. These high-resolution images appear instantly on our chairside monitors, allowing us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other concerns early while explaining findings clearly. Digital x-rays are better for your health, better for the environment, and help us provide more accurate diagnoses for optimal care.

At Marysville Family Dentistry, we utilize cutting-edge CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology to provide the most comprehensive and accurate diagnoses possible. This advanced 3-D imaging system captures detailed views of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure in a single scan, providing us with information that traditional x-rays cannot offer.

CBCT imaging is invaluable for planning dental implants, evaluating impacted teeth, diagnosing TMJ issues, and assessing complex root canal cases. The scan takes just seconds, uses minimal radiation, and provides incredibly precise measurements that enhance treatment safety and success. With CBCT technology, we can plan your care with confidence and precision.

At Marysville Family Dentistry, we use panoramic x-ray technology to capture a complete image of your entire mouth in a single view. Unlike bitewing x-rays that show only certain teeth, panoramic x-rays provide a comprehensive picture of your upper and lower jaws, all your teeth, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in one quick scan.

This technology is beneficial for planning orthodontic treatment, evaluating wisdom teeth, detecting jawbone abnormalities, and assessing overall oral health. The process is fast, comfortable, and requires no uncomfortable bitewing holders. Panoramic x-rays help us see the big picture of your dental health, providing more thorough and effective care.

At Marysville Family Dentistry, we've replaced messy, uncomfortable impression trays with advanced digital scanning technology. Our digital impression system uses a small, handheld wand to capture detailed 3-D images of your teeth in just minutes, with no gag-inducing putty required!

This comfortable, precise technology is perfect for creating crowns, bridges, veneers, and clear aligners. Digital impressions offer superior accuracy, resulting in better-fitting restorations and fewer adjustments. The images are ready for review instantly, so you can see exactly what Dr. Halasa sees and understand your treatment plan. Experience modern dentistry that's faster, more comfortable, and more precise than ever before.

Do you ever feel fearful or anxious about visiting the dentist? We recognize that dental anxiety is a genuine concern, and we strive to ensure every patient feels comfortable and at ease during their visit. That's why we offer sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide and oral sedation as an option to help ease nervousness and create a more pleasant dental experience.

Nitrous oxide is an effective and safe sedation option, administered through a small mask, that takes effect within minutes to help you feel calm and at ease while remaining fully conscious and able to respond. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of all ages, wears off quickly after your appointment, and allows you to drive yourself home.

Oral sedation is delivered through medication taken prior to your dental appointment. It offers more profound relaxation, so you'll feel as if you were sleeping, yet you are still responsive. You will need to arrange transportation to and from your dental appointment if you choose oral sedation. 

Let us help make your dental visit stress-free and comfortable!

At Marysville Family Dentistry, we maintain all patient records electronically for enhanced convenience, security, and efficiency. Our digital records system means your dental history, treatment plans, x-rays, and images are stored securely and accessible instantly during your appointments.

This technology enables us to deliver seamless care, easily share information with specialists when needed, and quickly access your dental history for accurate treatment planning. Digital records also mean less paperwork for you, streamlined insurance processing, and the ability to access your information when you need it. We're committed to using modern technology that makes your dental experience smoother, more organized, and more efficient while keeping your information safe and protected.
