At Carmel Mountain Dental Care, our Rancho Peñasquitos dentists invest in modern technology in order to provide comfortable, efficient care that elevates the patient experience.

No matter what kind of dental procedure you may need in Rancho Peñasquitos or Poway, digital dentistry will make your appointment more efficient and enjoyable.
Digital dentistry is used to plan your Invisalign treatment and give you an idea of what your results will look like before we begin.
Spectra scans can detect even the smallest areas of tooth decay and cavities, so we can fix issues before they become larger problems.
Digital technology plays a critical role in our ability to offer same day care with CEREC crowns at our Rancho Peñasquitos office.
Digital x-rays reduce patients' exposure to radiation by up to 90% in comparison to traditional x-rays. This digital technology also allows our doctors to enhance or zoom-in on images, giving them a better view of your teeth and leading them to more precise and accurate diagnoses. With detailed information, you and your doctor can make better decisions regarding your oral health. And you'll be able to view the images in a matter of seconds, which saves you time during your appointment.
At Carmel Mountain Dental Care, we value patient education. Using intraoral cameras not only allows us to get a complete and detailed view of your oral health, it helps us explain any issues or concerns you may have. Intraoral cameras allow us to show you real-time footage of your teeth and walk you through the problem spots. Our Rancho Peñasquitos team can also take images for your records to stay on top of potential issues. The images this advanced camera produces are precise and clear, which means we can find and treat smaller problems early-on. Prevention is the key to maintaining good oral health, and we can do it with less invasive care and more cost effective options.
With technology like digital x-rays and intraoral imaging at our San Diego office, we can deliver dental care that is less invasive, more accurate, and saves you time. If you have questions about what digital dentistry can do for you, feel free to give us a call or check out answers to these commonly asked questions.
According to the ADA and dentists nationwide, your regular visit to the dentist plays a vital role in supporting and maintaining positive dental health. By spotting and treating small dental issues, such as cavities and signs of tooth decay, before they become large or expensive, patients are kept informed about their oral health and receive gentle, conservative care for their dental needs.
As caregivers in our community we never recommend treatments unless they are necessary and strive every day to raise the bar of general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Using digital dentistry, our patients have more options and control over their oral health with enhanced treatments and services.
Staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques and using the most advanced dental technology available is just one aspect of how we strive to elevate patient care and wellness at Carmel Mountain Dental Care. With technology such as digital x-rays and intraoral imaging, patients receive dental care that is less invasive and more accurate, saving them time and peace of mind and creating more positive memories at the dentist.
