At Westminster Dental Care, we use modern dental technology to make your care as efficient, comfortable, and precise as possible. From digital diagnostics and advanced root canal technology to online scheduling systems, our technology is selected with one goal in mind: making it easier for you to get the quality dental care you deserve.
Technology can help us work more efficiently, spend less time on routine tasks, and deliver a more streamlined experience from the moment you schedule your appointment until you leave our office. Our top technologies at Westminster Dental Care include:
Advanced Technology for More Efficient Dental Care
This advanced approach can help us streamline treatment and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
Anesthetic Reversal
For patients who dislike the lingering numbness that can follow dental treatment, anesthetic reversal can help you get back to normal more quickly. Our practice uses technology designed to help reverse the effects of local anesthesia after certain procedures. This can be particularly helpful when you want to return to eating, speaking, and going about your day without waiting for numbness to wear off naturally.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide our team with detailed images that help us evaluate your teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures. Digital imaging allows us to view and store your images electronically, making it easier to use diagnostic information when planning your care.
Because digital images are available quickly, our team can also review them with you and help you better understand what we see and why we may recommend a particular treatment.
Intraoral Scanning
Intraoral scanners allow us to create highly detailed digital impressions of your teeth without relying on traditional impression materials.
Instead of using trays filled with impression material, a small handheld scanner captures images of your mouth and creates a detailed digital model. This technology can make the impression process more comfortable while providing our team with precise information for treatment planning in restorative care, orthodontics, and more.
Digital Smile Design
Planning cosmetic or restorative dentistry is about more than fixing individual teeth. We want to understand how your smile fits together as a whole. Digital smile design technology allows us to use digital information and images to help plan your treatment and visualize potential changes to your smile. This can be especially helpful when discussing cosmetic treatments, restorations, and comprehensive smile makeovers.
It also allows you to better understand your treatment plan before moving forward.
Technology That Makes Your Visit More Comfortable
Comfort Menu
We know that feeling comfortable at the dentist can make a big difference in your experience. That’s why we offer a comfort menu with options designed to help you relax during your visit.
Depending on your needs and treatment, comfort options may include:
- Blankets
- Headphones
- Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”)
- …and more!
We’re also sure to make note of your preferences so our team can remember what helps you feel most comfortable during future appointments. You shouldn’t have to start from scratch every time you visit.
Technology That Makes Dental Care More Convenient
Our technology isn’t limited to what happens in the treatment room. We also use digital tools to help streamline the administrative side of dentistry.
Online Patient Portal
Our online patient portal gives you convenient access to important aspects of your dental care without requiring everything to happen over the phone or in person.
Paperless Forms
Save time in the waiting room by completing your paperwork online before your appointment. Our paperless process streamlines check-in and allows our team to have the information we need before you arrive.
Online Scheduling
Need to make an appointment? Our online booking option allows you to request an appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. Plus, our online chat provides another convenient way to connect with our team and get the information you need.
Your Preferences Matter
Our goal is for each visit to feel familiar, comfortable, and just right for you!
