Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays for Precise Dental Diagnostics

Dr. Smith has designed a state-of-the-art dental office in Oro Valley, AZ that focuses on your comfort while also helping improve your oral health. We utilize many types of advanced technology at Smith Dentalworks that help us make your treatment more comfortable and stress-free.


Here are some of the ways that digital dentistry can improve your experience:

Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays for Precise Dental Diagnostics

Your safety is our priority. Our digital imaging systems emit 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. These high-resolution images allow Dr. Smith to detect concerns, such as infection or bone loss, that she wouldn’t be able to identify with a physical exam alone. They are faster, safer for the environment, and can be shared instantly with other providers to streamline your care.

CBCT 3D Digital Imaging

For a comprehensive view of your oral health, we utilize CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography). This advanced 3D imaging allows for precise diagnostics that standard X-rays simply can’t capture. Dr. Smith uses this technology for:
  • Complex Diagnostics: Identifying difficult-to-see pathology and infections.
  • Sleep Apnea Planning: Visualizing the airway to develop effective treatment plans.
  • Surgical Precision: Mapping out the most accurate placement for dental implants.

iTero® Digital Scanning & Oral Health Suite

Say goodbye to “goopy” impression material. With our iTero digital scanner, we create a highly accurate 3D map of your teeth in minutes.

• Precision Fabrication: We use these scans for crowns, bridges, night guards, retainers, and Invisalign® clear aligners.

• The Oral Health Suite: We perform digital scans during your routine hygiene visits. This allows us to track and monitor changes in your teeth and gums over time, giving you a “before and after” look at your oral health journey.

Solea® Dental Laser

The Solea laser is a game-changer for patient experience, often replacing the need for the traditional dental drill. Because the laser is virtually pain-free, many procedures can be completed without the need for needles or anesthesia.

  • Advanced Fillings: Most fillings can be done quickly and comfortably with the laser.
  • Soft Tissue Procedures: We use the laser for precise gingivectomies, frenectomies, and tongue-tie releases.
  • Mouth Sore Therapy: The laser can effectively treat and provide relief for painful mouth sores.
  • The Future of Sleep: We are also excited to incorporate the laser for upcoming sleep apnea applications.
