Digital Dentistry

Dentistry has changed dramatically over the years, and today’s technology allows dental care to be more precise, efficient, and personalized than ever before. Gause Dentistry utilizes digital technology to enhance the patient experience from diagnosis and treatment planning to the creation of custom dental appliances.

As a highly digital dental office in the New York City Metro area, Gause Dentistry uses advanced technology throughout many areas of care. Our digital capabilities include CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, 3D printing, digital radiography, laser dentistry, air abrasion, and more.

Whether you are visiting us for routine dental care or planning a more complex procedure, digital dentistry can give Dr. Alex Gause and our team valuable information about your smile while helping us deliver highly customized treatment.

What Is Digital Dentistry?

Digital dentistry refers to the use of computer-based technology, advanced imaging, scanning, and digital fabrication during dental care. Instead of relying exclusively on traditional techniques, digital tools allow dentists to gather detailed information and use it to diagnose, plan, monitor, and perform treatment.

At Gause Dentistry, these technologies are not limited to one type of procedure. They can play a role in restorative dentistry, dental implants, root canal treatment, extractions, cosmetic care, oral health monitoring, and the creation of custom dental appliances. Our digital dentistry technology includes:

  • Air abrasion for select dental procedures
  • CBCT imaging for detailed three-dimensional views
  • Digital impressions using intraoral scanning
  • Digital radiography for dental imaging
  • Laser dentistry for certain soft-tissue treatments
  • 3D printing for creating a variety of customized dental appliances and guides

The goal is not simply to have the newest technology. It is to use the right technology to make your dental care more precise, informed, and customized.

How Digital Technology Comes Together at Gause Dentistry

The real advantage of a digital dental office is not any single piece of equipment. It is the ability to use different technologies together.

Depending on your treatment, your digital dental experience may involve several steps. For example, our team may:

Capture images

using digital radiography or CBCT

Scan your teeth

to create a digital impression

Use those records to evaluate your oral health or plan treatment

Reduced perception of time and discomfort

Many patients report that procedures performed under sedation feel much shorter than they actually were, with little to no memory of the more uncomfortable aspects of treatment.

Specialized oversight for deeper sedation

For IV sedation cases, working with a dedicated dental anesthesiologist means a specialist focused entirely on monitoring your sedation and safety, while Dr. Gause focuses on the dental procedure itself.

Encourages patients to stay current on care

Patients who’ve delayed treatment due to anxiety often arrive with more extensive needs than if they’d been seen regularly. Sedation options can help break that cycle, making it easier to stay on top of both preventive and necessary restorative care going forward.
