Patients who visit Smile Recreation in Los Angeles, CA, can expect a thoughtful approach to care where comfort and understanding guide each appointment. The practice uses tools that support accuracy and clear communication, and many patients notice how helpful dental technology becomes mid-visit when images and information are easier to follow. These tools contribute to smoother appointments and more confident decision-making.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays create clear images within seconds and use less radiation than older film systems. The clarity helps the dentist identify changes early, and the on-screen view makes it easier for patients to follow along. A digital X-ray also reduces the need for repeat images, which keeps the visit simple and efficient.
Intraoral Scanner
The intraoral scanner replaces traditional impression material with a quick digital scan. A small wand captures detailed images that help shape comfortable, accurate restorations. This intraoral scanner also allows patients to see what the dentist sees, which encourages better understanding during treatment planning.
In-House 3D CBCT Scan
A CBCT scan provides a three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. It helps evaluate implant sites, orthodontic needs, and complex cases more safely. Using a 3D CBCT scan gives the dentist a complete picture of the anatomy and supports careful, well-informed planning.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry uses focused light to assist with soft tissue procedures and cavity preparation. The laser dentistry tool allows for precise work and can support comfortable healing.
WATERLASE (BIOLASE)
BIOLASE WATERLASE® technology uses a precise laser combined with a gentle spray of water to treat teeth and gums with less heat, vibration, and pressure than traditional tools. From cavity preparation to gum contouring, WATERLASE helps deliver accurate treatment while supporting faster healing and a smoother recovery for patients.
DEXIS DIGITAL X-RAYS
DEXIS CariVu uses near-infrared light to help detect cavities between teeth without exposing patients to additional radiation. It is especially helpful when traditional X-rays are not taken, including during pregnancy, offering a safe and comfortable way to evaluate suspicious areas. This technology allows us to assess decay while giving peace of mind to patients who prefer to avoid X-rays, making it a thoughtful option for expectant mothers and others seeking alternative diagnostic methods.
