Advanced Dental Technology in Worcester
More Clarity & Better Outcomes
At UDG, we’re passionate about providing our patients with first-class care, and that includes meaningful education and thorough answers to all of your questions. One of the reasons we’re able to excel in these areas is because of our implementation of the latest dental technology, including Overjet AI, intraoral imaging, and digital scanning. You can learn more about how each of these technologies can improve your experience and treatment outcomes at our Worcester dental office by reading below.
Overjet Dental AI
Our state-of-the-art practice is proud to provide the best technology in the dental industry, including Overjet AI for instant X-ray analysis. Overjet’s artificial intelligence technology transforms traditional black-and-white X-rays by adding a layer of data that instantly outlines decay (cavities) and measures bone loss. This makes it easy for you to see your results alongside your dentist.
See What Your Doctor Sees
One of the reasons we added Overjet is because it makes it much easier for you to see what your doctor sees. We know it can be hard for patients to interpret a traditional black-and-white X-ray. Overjet’s artificial intelligence technology highlights the X-ray to draw the eye to areas of concern. It also highlights past dental work that’s been completed, such as fillings, crowns, and root canals.
Catch Problems Early
The AI algorithms identify cavities both large and small. We like to catch cavities when they are small!
Bone loss is often a sign of periodontal disease, a common gum infection that causes the jawbone and tissue supporting the teeth to deteriorate if not treated. Overjet quantifies the level of bone supporting each tooth, and lists the measurement level right on the X-ray. That combined with your dental examination will let you know how healthy your gums are. After all, your gums are the foundation for your teeth.
Accurate Treatment Plans
Our goal is to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and to present you with the best treatment plan options to give you a beautiful, healthy smile.
Our dentists and hygienists are highly-trained and experienced. Overjet is a decision support tool that provides additional information to our clinicians to support our mission to provide you with an accurate, comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan.
Confidence in Your Diagnosis
You’ve placed your trust in us, and we want to ensure you have confidence in your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Overjet’s AI provides an objective review of your X-rays. It’s like getting a second opinion delivered instantly. With Overjet’s best-in-class analysis and easy-to-read presentation, you will have the information you need to make an informed decision about your oral health. Together, we’ll review your findings and discuss the best steps to take to achieve your goals.
Overjet AI is just one more way we’re making sure you receive excellent care.
iTero Digital Impressions
You no longer need to bite down on a mouthful of putty one, two, or even three times to get the perfect impression. With our iTero digital impression system, we have the power to capture a detailed blueprint of your teeth and gums digitally. As a result, we can send your scans to our partnered dental laboratory faster and ensure that you spend less time in the treatment chair.
Intraoral Camera
Using the same technology that we do for digital impressions, we can also take digital still images of your teeth and gums, as well as capture live video footage within your mouth. These can be displayed on a large chairside monitor to provide you with a helpful visual resource to learn more about our findings during your examinations.
Digital X-Rays
In the past, dentists used film X-rays to be able to view the structures of your mouth that lie below the gumline. Today, the standard of diagnostic care is using digital X-rays due to the lower levels of radiation exposure, faster processing times, and higher resolution.
