Our Technology

Modern dental technology helps make examinations more accurate, treatment planning more efficient, and patient education easier to understand. At Falls Family Dental, we use carefully selected technology to support comfortable, high-quality care while helping patients make thoroughly informed decisions about their oral health. As a privately owned dental practice, we believe technology should enhance personal care, not replace it. Every recommendation is explained clearly so you understand your options before treatment begins.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays provide complete images of your teeth, supporting bone, and surrounding oral structures that cannot be seen during a visual examination alone. These images appear within seconds, allowing Dr. Sandra Thore to evaluate concerns such as tooth decay, infection, bone loss, and other developing conditions with greater efficiency.

Compared with traditional film X-rays, digital imaging uses less radiation while producing high-quality images that support early diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

iTero Digital Scanner

Our iTero Digital Scanner captures highly accurate three-dimensional images of your teeth and bite without any need for traditional impression materials. Many patients find digital scanning more comfortable than conventional molds while appreciating the speed and accuracy of the process.

Digital scans are used to evaluate tooth alignment, bite relationships, and restorative treatment needs. They also support treatment planning for clear aligners, crowns, bridges, and other restorative procedures with improved precision.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera allows us to capture comprehensive images inside your mouth using a small handheld device. These images are displayed on a monitor during your appointment, making it easier for you to see what Dr. Thore sees.

This visual approach helps patients better understand existing conditions, monitor changes over time, and participate confidently in treatment decisions.

Technology That Supports Personalized Care

Technology is only one part of providing exceptional dental care. At Falls Family Dental, every digital image and scan is carefully reviewed alongside a comprehensive clinical examination and your individual oral health goals. Dr. Sandra Thore combines more than 35 years of clinical experience with modern diagnostic tools to develop treatment recommendations that are practical, conservative, and tailored to your needs.

Patients throughout North Raleigh, including Durant Road, Wakefield, Falls River, Bedford, Falls of Neuse, and Wake Forest, appreciate a dental office where advanced technology supports clear communication, accurate diagnosis, and personalized care in a comfortable environment.
