Our Dental Technology

Dental Technology by Dr. Sikka in Upland, CA at Higher Ground Dentistry

At Higher Ground Dentistry, we utilize state-of-the-art dental technology to deliver safe, efficient, and highly effective treatment outcomes for our patients!

Intraoral Camera Technology

Our intraoral camera system features a precision handheld device designed with an ergonomic wand-like shape for optimal patient comfort. The advanced miniature camera positioned at the device's tip captures hundreds of high-resolution images per second, creating detailed and precise visual documentation of your oral cavity. These comprehensive digital images can be used to generate accurate digital impressions of your teeth and gum tissues. Digital impression technology proves especially valuable for same-day dental crown procedures, streamlining your treatment experience while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

 

Digital X-Ray Technology

Traditional dental practices previously relied on conventional x-ray systems that required time-consuming film development processes. Today, we employ advanced digital x-ray technology that offers numerous patient benefits over outdated film-based systems. Digital x-rays provide enhanced safety protocols while delivering significantly faster imaging results. When image clarity needs improvement, we can immediately capture a new digital x-ray without delay. This essential diagnostic technology enables our team to gain comprehensive insights into your oral anatomy, including detailed visualization of teeth structures, root systems, and surrounding alveolar bone tissue.

Diagnodent Laser Detection System

Our Diagnodent laser technology enables more precise identification of dental decay within the occlusal (biting) surfaces of teeth. This advanced laser system measures fluorescence levels within tooth mineral structures, allowing our team to distinguish between healthy tooth tissue and early-stage smooth surface dental caries (tooth decay). Early detection capabilities help us provide timely, conservative treatment interventions before decay progresses to require extensive and costly restorative procedures.

3D Imaging Technology

Advanced 3D imaging provides Dr. Sikka with comprehensive three-dimensional visualization of your teeth and surrounding gum tissues. This sophisticated diagnostic tool enhances our ability to accurately diagnose potential oral health issues and develop effective, personalized treatment plans. We utilize 3D imaging technology for various applications including cosmetic dentistry procedures, restorative treatments, orthodontic planning, and precise dental implant placement.

Cone Beam CT Scan

A cone beam CT scan is a diagnostic tool that produces a 3D representation of your teeth, gums, nerve pathways, and underlying bone structure within a single image. We typically utilize cone beam CT scans when a regular x-ray is not enough. Cone beam CT scans are ideal for surgical planning, the diagnosis of TMJ disorders and tumors, and the evaluation of bone structure and tooth orientation.
