Creating Stunning Smiles With Advanced Technology at Oakland Family Dental

i-CAT Technology Takes Clear X-Ray Images

The i-CAT X-Ray uses revolutionary new technology that takes extremely clear 2D and 3D X-ray images. The i-CAT provides 3D imaging at full-definition and does it at a dose that’s lower than a 2D Panoramic X-ray. SmartScan STUDIO serves as an effective, guided touchscreen interface, allowing our dental team to control the i-CAT with ease.

An Ergonomic Stability System boosts comfort for patients and minimizes error during the imaging process. With the capacity to take stunning, clear 2D and 3D images while maximizing the patient’s posture, the i-CAT is an incredible tool that helps us deliver remarkable results.

X-Guide Nav For Precise & Accurate Implant Placement

In order to help make your dental implant process more comfortable, precise, and efficient, we feature the X-Guide® Navigation System. This state-of-the-art technology features the only live, 360-degree single-view of the drill position and anatomy throughout surgery, allowing Dr. Sheehan to improve the precision and accuracy of implant position, angle, and depth.

iTero Generates Digital 3D Impressions

We know that no one likes to endure through the feeling of uncomfortable, messy putty impressions with bulky, intrusive trays for their orthodontic treatment. Here at Oakland Family Dental, we feature advanced digital impression technology using the iTero® digital scanner system.

The iTero is a digital scanner that takes 3D images of your smile to generate a unique, precise treatment plan that’s best for you. We’ll show you the predicted results of your new smile right there and keep you up-to-date with your progress.

VELscope^® Identifies Oral Abnormalities

Certified in dental oncology from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York, Dr. Sheehan has equipped our Waterford office with the VELscope® oral screening system to help identify oral abnormalities. This technology is the world’s most widely used adjunctive device that enhances the visualization of oral cancer or pre-malignant dysplasia.

Dr. Sheehan uses this safe, FDA-approved system to ensure an advanced level of preventative oral care. If she suspects an abnormality in your mouth, the VELscope will be able to detect it in just a few minutes so Dr. Sheehan can treat it as soon as possible.
