Modern dentistry requires precise imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, and at Mason Dental, Dr. Scott Mason has invested in state-of-the-art technology that prioritizes both image quality and patient safety. The practice’s commitment to excellence is evident in their advanced imaging systems, which provide exceptional diagnostic capabilities while minimizing radiation exposure.
“At Mason Dental, our Dexis CT technology allows us to create detailed 3D images of each patient’s airway, helping us pinpoint the exact location of obstructions. This precise mapping means we can develop highly personalized treatment plans that address the root cause of sleep apnea,” explains Dr. Mason. This same technology proves invaluable across all aspects of dental care, from routine examinations to complex treatment planning.
The practice’s investment in Dexis CT technology represents a significant advancement in dental imaging. Unlike traditional X-ray systems, this cutting-edge equipment provides detailed three-dimensional views while employing sophisticated dose-reduction technology. This means patients receive the lowest possible radiation exposure while still obtaining the highest quality diagnostic images.
The advanced imaging system at Mason Dental features several key advantages:
-
Ultra-low dose radiation protocols that reduce exposure by up to 77% compared to traditional imaging systems
-
High-resolution 3D imaging that allows for precise treatment planning
-
Rapid scanning capabilities that minimize the time patients spend in the imaging process
-
Advanced software that enhances image clarity while maintaining low radiation doses
What sets Mason Dental apart is their comprehensive approach to patient safety. Every imaging procedure follows the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), ensuring that radiation exposure is minimized while maintaining the diagnostic quality necessary for proper treatment planning.
The benefits of this technology extend beyond just basic dental care. The detailed imaging allows Dr. Mason and his team to:
-
Create precise treatment plans for complex dental procedures
-
Monitor oral health changes over time with exceptional accuracy
-
Identify potential issues before they become serious problems
-
Provide patients with clear, detailed visualizations of their oral health status
For patients concerned about radiation exposure during dental imaging, Mason Dental’s commitment to using the latest low-dose technology provides peace of mind. The practice’s investment in advanced imaging systems demonstrates their dedication to providing the highest standard of care while protecting patient safety.
This focus on combining cutting-edge technology with patient safety has positioned Mason Dental at the forefront of modern dental practices. As dental technology continues to advance, Dr. Mason’s commitment to maintaining the latest and safest imaging systems ensures that patients receive the best possible care with minimal risk.
