Better information.
More thoughtful care.

Digital scans: a detailed starting point.

An intraoral scanner records the surfaces of your teeth as a three-dimensional model. For many procedures it can replace conventional impression material and provide a useful record for design and communication.

We combine those surface details with your examination and appropriate imaging, bringing the information together into a plan you can see and understand.

• Restoration planning and fit.
• Bite records and comparison over time.
• A shared view of what is being planned.

Dental photography: see what we see.

Our extraoral photography setup records your smile in the context of your face and lips. Together with detailed dental photographs, those images help us explain findings, plan cosmetic changes, and document your care.

Clinical photography is handled as part of patient care. Publishing any patient image requires separate, appropriate permission.

DEXIS CBCT and intraoral X-rays: the right view for the question.

Intraoral X-rays help us examine areas we cannot see directly, such as between teeth and around roots. Our DEXIS cone-beam CT system adds a three-dimensional view for questions about bone and anatomy, including every planned implant site at Rooted.

We choose imaging around your clinical needs. CBCT is not a routine scan for every general dental visit; we select the field of view and exposure to answer the planning question while keeping radiation exposure in mind.

Guided implant planning: connect the tooth to the foundation.

We combine a digital scan and CBCT imaging to plan the final tooth, its chewing forces, and the implant position together. If the ideal position needs more bone, grafting becomes part of that plan. In many cases, a surgical guide helps transfer the three-dimensional design to placement.

Dr. Hofsess brings the digital plan together with a careful assessment of your health and anatomy. That combination helps us plan implant care around the position, appearance, and function of your future tooth.

3D printing: bring the design into your smile.

Our planned restoration workflow connects intraoral scanning, digital design, and 3D printing, including digital press fabrication. These tools support selected inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers, with materials chosen for the individual restoration. Suitable cases can often be completed in one visit; others benefit from laboratory fabrication.

For smile planning, 3D printing also lets us create a physical mock-up to try on your teeth. We can refine the design together in the chair before irreversible preparation and before you commit to full treatment.

Air polishing: comfort meets thorough hygiene care.

Air polishing uses a controlled mist of air, water, and fine powder to lift soft bacterial biofilm and surface stains from teeth. With a suitable low-abrasive powder and careful technique, it gives Devon a gentle way to clean around tooth contours and can reduce scraping for soft deposits.

She combines air polishing with targeted hand or ultrasonic instruments for hardened tartar, selecting the right approach for your teeth and gums. The result we work toward is a fresh, healthy mouth and confidence in your everyday care.
