Our Technology Everton Hills
Digital tools used where clinically appropriate

Dental technology at Everton Hills Dental

CBCT, digital scanning and CEREC may support assessment and treatment planning where appropriate.

Modern imaging, scanning and restorative technology can help your dentist assess concerns, explain findings and plan selected treatments more clearly.

A $50 deposit is required when booking. Imaging and digital workflows are recommended only when clinically relevant.

What This Technology Helps With

Three practical uses

01

See hidden structures

CBCT and digital X-rays may reveal bone, roots and anatomy that cannot be seen clinically.

02

Replace some impressions

Digital scanning may be used instead of traditional impressions for selected treatments.

03

Plan selected restorations

CEREC may support the design and production of suitable ceramic restorations.

Why Technology Matters

Technology is useful when it changes what the dentist can assess or explain

Each tool is selected for a specific reason: to reveal hidden anatomy, improve records or support treatment planning.

01

See more detail

Digital imaging can reveal areas that are not visible during a routine examination.

02

Explain findings

Images and scans can make it easier to understand what the dentist has found.

03

Plan selected care

Digital records may support implant, restorative, orthodontic and other treatment planning.

CBCT dental imaging room with three-dimensional jaw scan at Everton Hills Dental
Three-Dimensional Imaging

CBCT can show structures ordinary X-rays cannot

A three-dimensional scan may help assess bone, roots, impacted teeth and nearby anatomy when the extra detail could change treatment planning.

Implant assessmentMay help evaluate bone dimensions and nearby anatomical structures.
Impacted teethCan provide more detail around wisdom teeth and root position.
Complex root anatomyMay support assessment where ordinary imaging is not enough.
Used selectivelyRecommended only when the additional information may affect care.
When CBCT May Help

Three common reasons for a 3D scan

01

Implant planning

To assess bone and nearby anatomy before deciding whether an implant may be suitable.

02

Impacted or complex teeth

To understand tooth position, root shape and surrounding structures in more detail.

03

When 2D imaging is not enough

To investigate a concern that cannot be fully understood from ordinary X-rays alone.

Other Digital Tools

Technology used across routine and complex care

The tool selected depends on the concern being assessed and whether the information will change diagnosis, communication or planning.

01

Digital X-rays

Help assess decay, bone levels, roots and areas below existing restorations.

02

Intraoral camera

Shows close-up images of teeth and gums to support discussion and documentation.

03

Digital scanning

May replace traditional impressions for selected restorative or orthodontic workflows.

04

Digital records

Support review, comparison and treatment planning over time.

During Your Visit

Not every appointment needs every tool

Your dentist chooses imaging and scanning based on your symptoms, examination findings, dental history and the treatment being considered.

Questions to Ask

Understand why technology is being recommended

Ask what information the scan or image may provide, whether alternatives exist and how the result may influence the next step.

Digital scanThe tooth and bite may be recorded without a traditional impression.
Restoration designSoftware supports planning the shape and fit of the restoration.
Ceramic productionA selected crown, inlay or onlay may be milled from a ceramic block.
Case dependentSome restorations still require a laboratory or a different material.
CEREC Workflow

From scan to ceramic restoration

01

Scan

A digital record of the prepared tooth and surrounding bite may be taken.

02

Design

The dentist plans the restoration shape and fit using digital software.

03

Mill and assess

A ceramic restoration may be produced and checked before placement where suitable.

Technology FAQs

Common questions about digital dental technology

What is a CBCT scan?

CBCT is a three-dimensional dental scan that may show teeth, roots, bone and nearby anatomy in more detail than ordinary two-dimensional X-rays.

Will every patient need CBCT?

No. CBCT is recommended only when the additional information may be relevant to diagnosis or treatment planning.

What is CEREC used for?

CEREC may support digital scanning, design and production of selected ceramic crowns, inlays or onlays where suitable.

Does CEREC mean every crown is completed in one visit?

No. Appointment sequence depends on the tooth, material, complexity and clinical requirements. Some restorations may still need a dental laboratory.

Does technology decide what treatment I need?

No. Technology supports the dentist’s examination and planning but does not replace diagnosis, clinical judgement or informed discussion.
