In Advanced Dental Technology

At RiNo Dental, we believe that investing in advanced technology leads to better care, more accurate diagnoses, and a more comfortable experience for our patients. Modern dentistry allows us to detect problems earlier, improve treatment outcomes, reduce radiation exposure, and eliminate many of the inconveniences associated with traditional dental care.

Our technology isn't here to replace personalized care. It's here to help us provide the highest quality dentistry possible while making your visits more efficient and comfortable.

iTero® Digital Scanner

Say goodbye to messy impression material.

Our iTero digital scanner creates highly accurate 3D images of your teeth in just minutes using a small handheld wand. Instead of traditional molds, we capture thousands of images to create a precise digital model of your smile.

The iTero scanner is used for:

• Invisalign treatment

• Crowns and other restorations

• Implant restorations

• Monitoring tooth wear and changes over time

• Digital treatment planning

Benefits of iTero

• No messy impressions

• More comfortable than traditional molds

• Highly accurate digital scans

• Faster turnaround for many treatments

• Better fitting restorations and appliances

• Ability to visualize your teeth in 3D

For Invisalign patients, iTero even allows us to simulate how your smile may look after treatment, giving you a preview of your potential results before you begin.

NOMAD™ Portable Digital X-Ray

Your comfort matters, even when taking X-rays.

Our handheld NOMAD digital X-ray unit allows our team to capture high-quality images efficiently while minimizing the need to reposition equipment around you. This can make the process quicker and more comfortable, especially for children, patients with mobility concerns, or those who have difficulty tolerating traditional X-rays.

Combined with digital sensors, the NOMAD system provides detailed images while using significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

• Fast image capture

• Lower radiation than traditional film

• High-quality diagnostic images

• More comfortable experience

• Immediate results

As with all of our imaging, we follow ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring an accurate diagnosis.

3D CBCT & Panoramic Imaging

Some dental conditions simply can't be evaluated with standard dental X-rays alone.

Our advanced panoramic and 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging system allows us to see your teeth, jaw, bone, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding anatomy in remarkable detail.

Depending on your treatment needs, we may recommend either a traditional panoramic image or a 3D CBCT scan.

This technology is especially valuable for:

• Dental implant planning

• Wisdom teeth evaluations

• Bone loss assessment

• Diagnosing infections

• Evaluating impacted teeth

• TMJ evaluation

• Complex treatment planning

• Detecting pathology that may not appear on traditional X-rays

The 3D scan allows us to evaluate your anatomy from every angle, helping us diagnose problems more accurately and plan treatment with greater precision.

Benefits of 3D Imaging

• Extremely detailed images

• More accurate diagnosis

• Better implant planning

• Improved treatment outcomes

• Faster, more precise care

VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection saves lives.

Oral cancer often develops without pain or noticeable symptoms, making routine screenings an important part of your preventive care.

In addition to a traditional oral cancer examination, RiNo Dental offers enhanced screenings using VELscope technology.

VELscope uses a safe blue light to help identify abnormal tissue changes that may not be visible during a standard visual exam. While it doesn't diagnose oral cancer, it can highlight areas that deserve a closer evaluation.

Who Should Be Screened?

We recommend oral cancer screenings for all adults, especially those who:

• Use tobacco products

• Drink alcohol regularly

• Have a history of HPV

• Spend significant time in the sun

• Are over age 40

Even patients without risk factors can develop oral cancer, which is why routine screenings are an important part of preventive care.

Technology That Benefits You

Every piece of technology we invest in serves the same purpose: providing safer, more comfortable, and more accurate dental care.

Our technology allows us to:

• Detect problems earlier

• Improve diagnostic accuracy

• Create more precise restorations

• Make treatment more comfortable

• Reduce unnecessary procedures

• Improve long-term treatment outcomes

• Help patients better understand their oral health

We believe modern dentistry should combine advanced technology with honest recommendations and personalized care. At RiNo Dental, you'll receive both.

Whether you're visiting for a routine cleaning, Invisalign, a dental implant, or restorative treatment, you can feel confident knowing your care is supported by some of the most advanced dental technology available.
