Our Dental Technology Services
Digital X-Rays: Digital X-rays are one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern dentistry. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays produce significantly less radiation, generate images almost instantly, and allow our team to zoom in, enhance, and analyze your dental images with far greater detail. This means we can identify cavities, bone loss, infections, and other concerns more quickly and accurately — leading to earlier intervention and better outcomes for our patients.
Intraoral Camera: An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that captures high-resolution images of the inside of your mouth in real time. Our team can use these images to show you exactly what we are seeing during your exam, making it much easier to understand your oral health and any recommended treatments. The intraoral camera is also an invaluable tool for detecting early-stage issues — such as cracks, decay, or worn enamel — that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Panoramic X-Ray and CT Imaging: Our panoramic X-ray and CT imaging technology captures a comprehensive, wide-angle view of your entire mouth, jaw, and surrounding structures in a single image. This is particularly valuable for treatment planning involving dental implant restoration, evaluating wisdom teeth prior to extraction, assessing jaw joint health, and identifying issues that standard X-rays may miss. CT imaging provides three-dimensional data that gives our team an exceptionally detailed picture of your oral anatomy.
3D Scanning: Our 3D intraoral scanner replaces the need for traditional dental impressions — no more uncomfortable putty molds. Instead, our team uses a small handheld wand to capture a precise digital model of your teeth and bite in just minutes. This technology is used for treatment planning, creating custom dental restorations, and mapping out Invisalign® treatment plans with exceptional accuracy. 3D scanning improves both the fit of restorations and the overall efficiency of your treatment.
Our investment in advanced dental technology supports every area of care we provide at Dental Pro, from general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry to restorative dentistry and pediatric dentistry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dental Technology
What dental technology does Dental Pro Arlington use?
Dental Pro uses a range of advanced dental technology including digital X-rays, an intraoral camera, panoramic X-ray and CT imaging, and 3D scanning. These tools allow our team to deliver more accurate diagnoses, more precise treatment planning, and a more comfortable experience for every patient in Arlington, MA .
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays — up to 80 to 90 percent less — making them a very safe diagnostic tool for patients of all ages, including children. At Dental Pro, we use digital X-rays routinely as part of our comprehensive dental exams to ensure we have a complete picture of your oral health.
What is an intraoral camera and why is it used?
An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that captures detailed real-time images of the inside of your mouth. Our team at Dental Pro uses it to visually show patients what we observe during exams — such as cracks, decay, or gum issues — making it easier to understand your oral health and the treatments being recommended. It also helps us catch problems at earlier, more treatable stages.
What is 3D scanning and how does it improve dental treatment?
Our 3D intraoral scanner creates a precise digital model of your teeth and bite without the need for traditional putty impressions. This technology is used for designing custom restorations, planning Invisalign® treatment, and more — all with greater accuracy and comfort. The result is restorations that fit better and treatment plans that are more predictable from start to finish.
When is panoramic X-ray or CT imaging used?
Panoramic X-ray and CT imaging is used when our team needs a broader, more comprehensive view of your oral and jaw structures than a standard X-ray provides. This is commonly used when planning dental implant restoration, evaluating wisdom teeth before extraction, assessing the jaw joint, or identifying issues affecting the bone and surrounding structures.
How does dental technology benefit patients?
Advanced dental technology at Dental Pro directly benefits patients in several meaningful ways. It enables earlier and more accurate detection of dental problems, reduces the need for uncomfortable diagnostic procedures like putty impressions, minimizes radiation exposure with digital X-rays, and supports more precise treatment planning — ultimately leading to better results, fewer surprises, and a more comfortable overall experience at our Arlington, MA office.
Does Dental Pro Arlington use technology for cosmetic treatments?
Yes. Our 3D scanning technology plays a key role in planning cosmetic treatments such as Invisalign® and custom restorations like ceramic crowns. Our intraoral camera also helps us assess the cosmetic condition of your teeth and communicate treatment options clearly. To learn more about our cosmetic offerings, visit our cosmetic dentistry page.
