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.

Committed to Innovation and Patient Care

At the Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center of Santa Fe, technology is more than a set of tools—it is part of our commitment to excellence in patient care. By combining advanced imaging and precision instruments with compassionate expertise, Dr. Healy and Dr. Hurtado provide treatments that are efficient, minimally invasive, and tailored to your unique needs.

My son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr Hurtado. He had absolutely no swelling or pain whatsoever after the procedure. He even stopped taking pain medicine after the first day, as he stated he did not have any pain and didn't need it. I am truly impressed with this staff and procedure done at this office. I highly recommend them to any parents who are looking for an easy wisdom tooth extraction for their kiddos. Thank you to the Doc and his lovely staff!

Dr Diego Hurtado and his office and staff are just wonderful. Dr Hurtado answered all my many questions respectfully and with much patience and kindness. The extraction went well and the healing process also. He saw me for a follow up. He even noted that I should check out an unrelated tooth with my local dentist which turned out to have a cavity. He is a highly observant oral surgeon that goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Healy and his team provided excellent care for me when I had my wisdom teeth extracted. The preoperative instructions were clear and the surgery day was very organized and went according to plan. I woke up from the procedure without any pain and I only needed one dose of the medication prescribed for the recovery period. Dr. Healy’s office followed up to see how I was doing and I really felt cared for. I recommend Dr. Healy to my friends and family and I would happily return to the practice!

Dr. Healy has performed surgical wisdom teeth removal on both my teenagers and they both had a positive experience. I noticed that even within one years time he changed his practice so when it came to my daughter we followed her regime as given and her recovery went even better than my son's. Dr. Healy has a great patient manner and develops trust with his patients. He takes his time and explains things very well. Thank you Dr. Healy for doing such a great job with both my children. The dental assistants are wonderful!

The entire staff all have hearts of gold. Dr. Healey and his assistant Charlie were amazing with my wisdom teeth extraction. Not only did Dr. Healey have an excellent and professional yet warm and caring manner to him, he truly knows his stuff. I had zero fears about my surgery and I am glad my experience was with him. Highly recommended!
