Dental Technology we use at New York Family Dental Arts

What is ITERO technology and how is it used?

The ITERO technology is a type of digital scanning technology used in dentistry. Specifically, it is a 3D intraoral scanner that is used to create digital impressions of a patient's teeth and gums.
The ITERO scanner uses a small wand-like device that is placed in the patient's mouth and moved around to capture images of the teeth and gums from different angles. These images are then combined to create a highly accurate 3D digital model of the patient's mouth.
The benefits of ITERO technology include improved accuracy and efficiency in the creation of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. It also eliminates the need for messy traditional impression materials, making the patient experience more comfortable.
In addition to its use in restorative dentistry, the ITERO scanner can also be used for orthodontic treatment planning, such as creating digital models for clear aligner therapy.


How can ITERO technology benefit patients?

More Accurate Dental Restorations: The ITERO scanner produces highly accurate 3D digital models of a patient's mouth, allowing for more precise dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. This can result in better-fitting and longer-lasting restorations.
Increased Comfort: Traditional dental impressions involve taking physical molds of the patient's teeth and gums using putty-like materials that can be messy and uncomfortable. With ITERO technology, there is no need for these materials, making the patient experience more comfortable.
Faster Treatment Time: ITERO technology can speed up the treatment process by eliminating the need for physical molds and reducing the amount of time needed for adjustments to restorations.
Better Communication with Patients: The 3D digital models produced by the ITERO scanner can be used to show patients what their teeth will look like after restorations or orthodontic treatment, allowing for better communication and understanding of the treatment process.
More Efficient Orthodontic Treatment Planning: The ITERO scanner can be used to create digital models for clear aligner therapy, allowing for more efficient and effective orthodontic treatment planning.



How can CAVITRON technology benefit patients?


The CAVITRON device features a small handpiece that vibrates at high frequency, producing ultrasonic waves that create small bubbles in water or other dental solutions. These bubbles then implode, generating tiny shockwaves that can dislodge and remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gums.
The CAVITRON system offers several benefits for dental professionals and patients, including:
More Efficient Cleaning: CAVITRON technology can clean teeth and gums more quickly and efficiently than traditional hand scaling methods, which can be beneficial for patients who have a lot of built-up plaque and tartar.
Reduced Discomfort: Because the CAVITRON device uses ultrasonic vibrations to remove plaque and tartar, it can be less uncomfortable for patients than traditional scaling methods that rely on manual scraping and picking.
Improved Gum Health: CAVITRON technology can help improve gum health by removing bacteria and other harmful substances from around the gumline.
Enhanced Precision: The CAVITRON device can be used to remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, such as deep pockets in the gums or around dental implants, with greater precision than traditional scaling methods.
Overall, the CAVITRON system is a popular choice for dental professionals who want to provide their patients with effective, efficient, and comfortable dental cleaning and treatment options.
