Technology
At Turner Family Dentistry of Virginia, we use advanced technology to deliver faster, more precise and more comfortable dental care. From same-day ceramic restorations to 3D imaging and guided surgeries, our technology — whether it’s the CEREC® system or cone-beam CT scans — ensures you receive high-quality, efficient treatment under one roof.
- Same-day custom ceramic crowns and veneers created in-office using the CEREC® CAD/CAM system.
- Digital impressions instead of traditional messy molds — more comfortable and accurate.
- High-quality ceramic restorations: no temporary crowns, fewer visits, long-lasting results.
- 3D cone-beam CT imaging for detailed views of dental structures, nerve paths, facial bones, and soft tissue.
- Guided implant placement using CT-based surgical guides — more accurate, faster recovery, better outcomes.
- Custom oral appliances for sleep apnea and snoring, designed with advanced imaging to fit your jaw and airway precisely.
CEREC®
CEREC® technology allows us to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns in a single visit. No temporary crown, no second appointment and no waiting.
With digital imaging and in-office milling, we create restorations that are custom-shaped, color-matched and durable. CEREC® crowns not only look natural—they restore strength and function immediately, helping you get back to your routine with ease.
Benefits of CEREC®
- Same-day crowns, inlays and onlays
- No messy impressions
- Precise digital scanning
- Durable, lifelike ceramic restorations
CBCT
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a dental‑focused X‑ray system that captures three‑dimensional images of teeth, jawbone, soft tissues and nerve pathways in a single scan. It is employed when standard dental films cannot provide sufficient detail, such as for implant placement, orthodontic assessment, or complex surgical planning.
Key benefits
- Rapid, single‑scan acquisition ideal for office‑based use
- Generates detailed 3‑D visualizations of anatomical structures, including nerve pathways
- Enables precise treatment planning for implants, orthodontics and oral surgery
- Provides greater image detail than standard dental X‑rays
Digital Charting
What Patients Should Know
- Your dental records are stored electronically for accuracy and easy access.
- Updates happen in real time during your visit.
- Helps prevent errors and keeps information secure.
- Allows your dentist to visually show X-rays, gum health and treatment needs.
- Tracks changes in your oral health over time.
- Speeds up insurance processing and reduces paperwork.
