Experience More Accuracy, Less Discomfort, Better Results with Advanced Technology
We invest in the latest dental technology to ensure every procedure is as comfortable, precise, and efficient as possible. Advanced imaging, modern surgical tools, and minimally invasive techniques allow us to diagnose and treat with exceptional accuracy. By continually upgrading our equipment and training, we deliver a higher level of care that yields better outcomes and a more positive patient experience. Here’s the technology you can expect to see at Arcadia Perio:
Intraoral Scanning
Intraoral scanning uses a small handheld device to capture detailed digital images of your teeth and gums, which are then processed into an incredibly precise 3D model of your mouth. This quick and comfortable process eliminates the need for messy impression materials, providing instant results that you and your dentist can view together in real time.
High-precision scans result in better-fitting restorations and more accurate planning for treatments such as crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontics. With faster turnaround times, improved communication, and an eco-friendly digital workflow, intraoral scanning enhances both comfort and efficiency throughout your dental care.

3D X-rays
3D X-rays, also known as CBCT imaging, provide a highly detailed, three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, offering far more clarity than traditional 2D X-rays. Using a cone-shaped beam that rotates around your head, the scanner captures multiple images in under a minute. It compiles them into a comprehensive digital model of your oral anatomy.
This enhanced level of detail improves diagnostic accuracy, helps detect hidden issues, and enables precise planning of complex treatments, such as implants, orthodontics, and surgical procedures. Patients benefit from more customized care, reduced surgical time, and lower radiation exposure, making 3D X-rays a safe and valuable tool in modern dentistry.
3D Printing
Dr. Peterson’s practice stands out not only for exceptional dental care but also for incorporating advanced technology, such as in-office 3D printing, to enhance precision and efficiency. This innovation enables the creation of highly customized dental appliances such as crowns, bridges, implant restorations, and aligners that fit comfortably and accurately.
With 3D printing done on-site, patients benefit from faster turnaround times, fewer appointments, and restorations that require minimal adjustments. It also supports innovative treatment options, such as guided implant surgery, and promotes sustainability by reducing waste and eliminating the need for external production.

Surgical Guides for Dental Implant Placement
Surgical guides are custom-made tools created from digital scans or 3D images that help dentists and oral surgeons place dental implants with exceptional precision and safety. By guiding the surgeon’s instruments during the procedure, they allow for ideal implant positioning, shorter surgery times, and a more minimally invasive experience with reduced swelling and discomfort.
This accuracy leads to faster recovery, fewer complications, and better long-term outcomes including well-fitting restorations that feel natural and function properly. Patients can support their results by discussing surgical guide options with their dentist, reviewing digital plans, and closely following all pre- and post-operative instructions.

X-Guide Navigation: GPS-Guided Implant Surgery
X-Guide Navigation is an advanced technology that brings GPS-like precision to dental implant surgery, offering real-time guidance for the most accurate placement possible. The process begins with a detailed 3D scan that allows the dentist to digitally plan the ideal implant position, angle, and depth before the procedure even starts.
During surgery, the system tracks surgical instruments in real-time and provides instant visual feedback, allowing the dentist to follow the plan precisely while making adjustments as needed. This level of accuracy leads to shorter procedures, greater surgical confidence, reduced risk of complications, and highly predictable, long-lasting implant results.
Icam Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is an advanced dental technology that utilizes high-resolution images to create highly accurate 3D models of your mouth, providing exceptional precision in implant dentistry. By capturing exact measurements without the need for traditional impressions, it offers a more comfortable and noninvasive experience for patients.
This technology streamlines the planning and placement process, reducing the number of appointments and helping you enjoy your restored smile sooner. With clearer visual communication and more predictable outcomes, photogrammetry enhances both the accuracy and success of dental implant treatments.
