Our TechnologyAt Robert F. Walker Jr. DDS we use leading-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results! iTeroAn iTero intraoral scanner is a handheld appliance that is shaped like a wand. The tiny camera at the tip of the appliance takes hundreds of pictures per second to capture an in-depth and accurate image of your mouth. This image is sometimes used to create a digital impression of your teeth and gums. TekscanAt Robert F. Walker Jr. DDS, we use Tekscan technology to gain precise insights into your bite dynamics. By capturing real-time data, we can enhance both the diagnosis and treatment planning process, ensuring the best possible outcomes for you. This innovative tool helps us detect and correct bite issues effectively, improving your overall comfort and function. By incorporating this state-of-the-art technology, we aim to provide you with the highest level of care and achieve exceptional results in your treatment.  Digital X-rayIn the past, most dental professionals had to use the traditional x-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital x-rays due to their many benefits. A digital x-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone. Laser DentistryDiagnodent LaserThe diagnodent laser allows us to more effectively identify the presence of decay in the occlusal (bite) surface of a tooth. The diagnodent laser measures laser fluorescence within the mineral structure of a tooth. This allows for the detection of healthy tooth structure, as well as smooth surface dental caries (tooth decay) at their earliest stage. Early detection of tooth decay helps us effectively treat the problem before it requires a costly and invasive restoration. Soft Tissue LaserA soft tissue laser simultaneously cauterizes and cuts an incision in the tissue. For this reason, laser treatment may reduce bleeding, discomfort, and swelling both during and after your procedure. We may use a soft tissue laser to treat periodontal disease by removing the infected lining of the gum tissue. This allows for the regeneration of healthy tissue around the teeth. Soft tissue lasers are also effective for gum contouring and crown lengthening if you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
