Digital X-Rays

We use X-rays every single day in our dental office because they allow us to examine the smile beyond what we can see with the naked eye, enabling us to catch potential cavities, infections, and even cancer that might be hidden below the gumline. Fortunately, we only use digital X-rays, which are faster, sharper, and safer than traditional film—they reduce radiation exposure by 90%, which is great news for both our patients and our team!

Pearl AI Technology

Our Pearl AI Second Opinion is a platform that allows us to run your X-rays through a database of millions of other patient X-rays to compare them against each other. Artificial intelligence then instantly detects any signs of concerns as well as confirms whether our recommended treatments are medically necessary. This technology allows us to virtually eliminate human error as well as provide real-time results for patients in the treatment chair, instilling both confidence and trust in us at every visit!

Intraoral Camera

Camera technology is evolving even faster than cellphones and computers, so now, your checkups will involve our team using a small, handheld device to take high-resolution pictures of your teeth and gums we can instantly show you on a nearby monitor. This approach makes it much easier for us to spot potential problems during their earliest stages, plus you’ll finally be able to get a clear look at your smile. This will help you better understand your oral health and ensure you’re always on the same page as your dentist.

Cone Beam CT Scanner

Our cone beam CT scanner takes dental X-rays to the next level, allowing us to basically capture a CAT scan of a patient’s entire head that enables us to see all of their dental anatomy in a single image. These scans reveal much more detail than a traditional X-ray, and we often use them to plan for more involved procedures like dental implant placement so we can guarantee a smooth treatment and easy recovery.

Digital Impression System

Dental impressions allow us to create a working model of a patient’s teeth and bite so we can design their treatment and personalize it down to the smallest detail. Rather than making them by having a patient bite into dental putty, we scan the mouth with a small device that generates a highly detailed impression in a matter of minutes. There’s no mess, no gagging, and it helps us provide even better care than before.

Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry has completely changed the way we treat the gums here at Little Rock Family Dental Care. Now, instead of eliminating gum disease using incisions and sutures like in the past, we can instead utilize a small laser to quickly and painlessly remove harmful bacteria and buildup from deep below the gumline. We can even use this instrument to provide cosmetic gum lifts to correct a “gummy” smile in a single appointment!
