At Regency Dental, we do not invest in advanced clinical technology simply for the sake of having new gadgets.
We invest in these tools because they directly improve your experience, your comfort, and your long-term health outcomes. By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment right here in our Omaha, NE office, we remove the guesswork from your care. This allows Dr. Ellingson, Dr. Spanel, and Dr. Nelson to provide highly precise, minimally invasive treatments, diagnose issues before they become painful emergencies, and ensure your visits are as fast and comfortable as possible.
Digital X-Rays For Fast, Safe Diagnostics
Preventative care relies on seeing what the naked eye cannot. Traditional film x-rays often require long processing times and higher levels of radiation. We have fully transitioned to modern digital x-rays, which offer incredible benefits for your health and safety:
- Reduced radiation: Digital x-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film, making them incredibly safe for routine use.
- Instant results: The high-resolution images appear on our monitors instantly, eliminating wait times.
- Patient education: Because we can enlarge and enhance these images on a screen right next to your chair, we can clearly show you exactly what we see, empowering you to understand your clinical needs and make informed decisions about your care.
iTero® Intraoral Scanners
One of the most universally dreaded aspects of visiting the dentist used to be sitting with a tray of messy, gag-inducing putty in your mouth to take an impression. We have completely eliminated this uncomfortable process. Our iTero intraoral scanners use a small, wand-like camera to capture thousands of images per second, creating a highly precise, full-color 3D model of your teeth and gums in just a few minutes. This digital map is essential for perfectly designing custom crowns, planning porcelain veneers, and mapping out predictable Invisalign clear aligner therapy.
CBCT 3D Imaging For Surgical Precision
When planning complex restorative work or oral surgery, a two-dimensional X-ray is simply not enough. Our in-house Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) machine rotates completely around your head to capture a comprehensive 3D view of your entire facial structure. This technology allows us to evaluate your jawbone density, locate hidden nerve pathways, and check sinus cavities. It is an absolutely critical tool for safely and predictably placing dental implants, ensuring the artificial root is positioned flawlessly for maximum strength and long-term success.
In-House 3D Printing & Fabrication
Historically, patients had to wait weeks for an off-site dental laboratory to create models, surgical guides, or custom appliances. By bringing advanced 3D printing technology directly into our Omaha, NE practice, we have streamlined the restorative process. We can rapidly print highly accurate surgical guides for implant placement, create physical models of your teeth for smile design, and fabricate precise nightguards. This on-site capability reduces your wait times, minimizes the number of appointments you need, and ensures strict quality control over the materials going into your mouth.
The Power Of Comprehensive Digital Dentistry
When we combine all of these modern tools—digital scanning, 3D imaging, and in-house fabrication—we practice true comprehensive digital dentistry. This seamless integration allows us to digitally plan a full-mouth rehabilitation or cosmetic smile makeover before any physical treatment ever begins. We can simulate your results on a screen, allowing you to see your new smile beforehand. By blending this advanced technology with our relationship-based approach to care, we ensure your treatments are completely customized, highly predictable, and designed to last a lifetime.
