Accurate Diagnoses
X-rays and advanced scanning tools make it easier for Dr. Timothy Kelly to detect dental abnormalities and plan treatment quickly. Detecting these problems early on can result in less painful and invasive treatment while saving you money.
Faster Treatment
The technology at our office cuts down on treatment times and reduces the need for an outside dental lab. It allows patients to spend less time in the dental chair and often leave our office with a fully functional smile on the same day as their appointment.
Better Quality of Life
A higher standard of life is within reach. By using the latest developments in the field of dentistry, our Albuquerque dental office can boost your confidence, reduce dental pain, improve your oral function, and enhance your sleep quality.
Quick and Accurate Imaging With the iTero Scanner
Advanced technology is a cornerstone of Dr. Tim Kelly’s Albuquerque, NM, dental practice, and the iTero scanner is one of our favorite and most frequently used tools. This scanner can capture detailed images of the entire mouth in a matter of seconds. We can zoom in, rotate, map your bite, identify problem areas, and more–all while you’re sitting in Dr. Kelly’s chair.
Our Dental Technology
Digital X-Rays
Our Albuquerque dentist uses digital X-rays to view the teeth and jawbones. This allows us to detect abnormalities and plan treatment for oral diseases and conditions. Digital X-rays are fast and efficient while exposing patients to less radiation than traditional X-rays. Routine X-rays help your dentist detect problems early so your treatment can be more conservative.
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
CBCT scans are an advanced type of X-ray technology that takes up to 200 3D images of your teeth, mouth, jaw, and more from different angles in just minutes. This technology is often used in implant dentistry because the digital scans provide accurate measurements of a patient’s jaw, allowing our dentist to choose the correct implant size, maximize the available jawbone, and reduce the risk of misaligned implants. CBCT is also used to diagnose and treat TMD.
iTero Intraoral Scanner
This 3D imaging technology helps take accurate impressions of your teeth and gums to detect abnormalities and plan restorative work like crowns, dentures, and dental implant placement. The digital scans are fast and accurate, lending to a more comfortable experience in the dental chair.
