Advanced Dental Services & Technology Abilene
The Technology Behind Your Care
At 27th Street Dental, staying up-to-date with the latest technology isn't optional. From digital impressions to cone beam imaging, our equipment is carefully chosen to deliver a more comfortable, precise, and efficient experience for every patient. Better instruments mean fewer complications, faster treatment, and results you can trust. Here's a look at what we use and why it matters for your care.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide dental sedation is one of the safest and most effective ways to help patients relax during their appointment. Also known as “laughing gas,” this clear, odorless sedative is carefully controlled through a small mask that fits over your nose. As you inhale, it slows your senses, creating a light, warm, and often giggly sensation that can help you remain calm throughout.
MCS Infection Control Solutions
For our Abilene team, “clean” isn't enough. We hold ourselves to a higher standard of pathogen prevention—one that can only be achieved by routine visits from MCS Infection Control Solutions. MCS comes out to our office routinely to provide long-term, non-toxic, technology-based infection control that destroys a broad range of bacteria and viruses on every surface in our office. There are no harsh chemicals, so there’s no need to worry about any reactions or irritation.
Cone Beam CT Scanner
Traditional X-rays can show us a lot, but our cone beam CT scanner shows us everything. This advanced 3D imaging technology gives our team a detailed view of your teeth, roots, bone structure, and surrounding anatomy that flat images simply can't capture. This depth of detail leads to more accurate diagnoses, better treatment planning, and fewer complications. For complex cases, cone beam imaging is invaluable for precision and peace of mind.
Digital Impressions
Say goodbye to the goop. Our Trios scanner captures precise 3D digital impressions of your teeth in minutes—no mess, no gagging, no cold, unpleasant molds. The result is a highly accurate digital model of your mouth that makes restorations, aligners, and other custom appliances fit better from the start. It's faster, more comfortable, and more reliable than traditional impressions.
Intraoral Camera
It’s one thing for us to tell you about what’s happening in your mouth, and quite another for you to actually see it! Our MouthWatch and Trios intraoral cameras give Dr. Critz, and you, a real-time, close-up view of your smile. That transparency makes conversations about treatment easier, more informed, and more collaborative. When you can see problems yourself, the diagnosis can feel less mysterious and more manageable.
