Technology

Digital x-rays use advanced sensors instead of traditional film to capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw. These x-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 80 percent compared to film, providing instant, crystal-clear images that help Dr. Godla diagnose problems early. Essential for routine exams, emergency visits, and treatment planning, digital x-rays eliminate waiting time and allow us to discuss your results immediately during your appointment.

Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging system that creates detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, nerves, and bone structure. Dr. Godla uses CBCT technology for precise dental implant placement, complex extractions, and bone grafting procedures. The comprehensive view helps ensure accurate treatment planning, reduces surgical time, and improves overall results.

Our tiny intraoral camera acts like a magnifying glass, capturing high-resolution images of individual teeth and hard-to-see areas of your mouth. During cleanings, exams, and cosmetic consultations, this pen-sized device helps you see exactly what Dr. Godla sees. The clear, enlarged images make it easier to understand your dental health and treatment recommendations, transforming your appointment into a more collaborative and educational experience.

Gone are the days of messy, uncomfortable impression materials. Our digital impression system uses a small wand to capture precise 3-D models of your teeth in minutes. Perfect for creating crowns, bridges, clear aligners, and veneers, this technology provides superior accuracy while eliminating the gag reflex many patients experience with traditional impressions. The result is better-fitting restorations and a much more comfortable experience.

Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, helps anxious patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. This safe, mild sedation option takes effect within minutes and wears off quickly after treatment. Dr. Godla uses nitrous oxide for everything from routine cleanings to more complex procedures, allowing nervous patients to receive the care they need comfortably. You'll remain conscious and responsive during your appointment, and because there are no lingering side effects, you can safely drive yourself home afterward. 

A panoramic x-ray captures your entire mouth—teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding structures—in one comprehensive image. This broad view helps Dr. Godla detect problems that might be missed on smaller x-rays, including impacted teeth, jaw disorders, and bone abnormalities. Panoramic imaging provides a comprehensive view of your oral health in seconds and is particularly valuable for implant planning, orthodontic treatment, and emergency evaluations.

Our fastmill.io™️ same-day crown technology uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) to transform dental visits by creating custom crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single appointment. Using digital impressions and computer-guided milling, Dr. Godla designs and crafts your restoration while you wait. This technology eliminates the need for temporary crowns, reduces the number of visits, and eliminates weeks of waiting. You'll leave with a perfectly fitted, natural-looking restoration that's ready for immediate use—no follow-up appointment required.

Our digital record-keeping system stores your complete dental history, x-rays, photos, and treatment plans on our secure in-house network. This means faster check-ins, instant access to your information, and seamless communication between appointments. Digital records also allow Dr. Godla to easily share information with specialists when needed and provide you with copies of your documents or images instantly. Your dental history travels with you, accessible whenever and wherever you need it.
