Dental Technology

Advanced Dental Technology in Santa Fe

At the Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center of Santa Fe, we are proud to use advanced dental technology that enhances accuracy, comfort, and safety in every treatment. Our doctors, Dr. Sean Healy and Dr. Diego Hurtado, invest in the latest tools and techniques to ensure patients receive the highest quality of care. From digital imaging to 3D printing, each piece of technology in our office helps us plan and perform procedures with greater precision and efficiency, while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

3D Imaging

3D imaging allows our team to capture highly detailed, three-dimensional views of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. These scans provide far more information than traditional X-rays, helping our surgeons plan dental implant placement, bone grafting, and other surgical procedures with exceptional accuracy. With this level of insight, we can identify potential issues early and create a fully customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.


3D Printer

Our in-office 3D printer helps us create precise surgical guides, dental models, and other custom components right here in our facility. This technology streamlines treatment planning and ensures that every restoration and surgical plan fits your anatomy perfectly. 3D printing also reduces turnaround times, allowing us to deliver faster, more predictable results for our patients.


3D Scanner and Digital Scanner

Both our 3D and digital scanners allow us to take accurate impressions of your teeth and mouth without the need for traditional molds. Using advanced optical scanning technology, we can create a complete digital model of your oral structures in minutes. This not only improves accuracy but also enhances comfort, since it eliminates the need for messy impression materials.


CBCT Scanner

Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner produces detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure. This advanced imaging system allows Dr. Healy and Dr. Hurtado to evaluate bone density, nerve pathways, and other critical anatomical details before performing surgery. The CBCT scanner is particularly valuable for dental implant planning, wisdom tooth removal, and reconstructive procedures, helping ensure safe and precise outcomes.


Digital Impressions

Digital impressions offer a more comfortable and accurate alternative to traditional dental molds. By capturing a detailed image of your mouth using specialized scanning equipment, we can instantly view your results on-screen and make adjustments as needed. This technology improves treatment accuracy, enhances communication with dental labs, and ensures that final restorations or surgical guides fit seamlessly.


Digital X-ray

Our digital X-ray system captures high-resolution images with significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays. These images appear instantly on our monitors, allowing our surgeons to quickly evaluate your oral health and discuss findings with you in real time. The clarity and speed of digital X-rays help us detect even the smallest concerns early, making preventive and surgical care more effective.


Intraoral Scanner

The intraoral scanner uses a small handheld device to capture precise images of your teeth and gums. It is especially useful for planning dental implants, restorations, and cosmetic treatments. The scanner creates a detailed 3D model of your mouth, allowing our doctors to visualize treatment options and show you exactly what to expect before your procedure.


Panoramic X-ray

Panoramic X-rays provide a comprehensive view of your entire mouth in a single image, including your teeth, jaw, and sinus areas. This wide-angle scan helps our surgeons evaluate tooth position, bone health, and structural alignment. It is an essential tool for planning extractions, dental implants, and other surgical treatments.


Trios Scanner

The Trios Scanner is one of the most advanced digital impression systems available. It captures high-definition, full-color 3D images of your teeth and gums quickly and comfortably. The Trios system allows for seamless integration with treatment planning software, improving communication between our surgical and restorative teams. It also helps patients visualize their results and understand their treatment process more clearly.
