Advanced Dental Technology in Winston-Salem, NC
High-Tech Dentistry That Puts Your Comfort First
At Trenton B. Bottoms, DDS, we believe dentistry should be efficient, comfortable, and accurate — and that starts with having the right tools. We’ve invested in advanced dental technology in Winston-Salem to improve diagnostics, streamline treatment, and help patients feel confident about their care.
Whether you’re visiting for a routine exam, dental implant, or full smile restoration, our technology helps us deliver better results, faster recovery, and a more relaxed experience from start to finish.
Laser Dentistry
Lasers offer minimally invasive solutions for gum contouring, soft tissue procedures, and bacterial reduction. Benefits include less discomfort, faster healing, and reduced need for anesthesia.
- Minimizes bleeding and swelling
- Ideal for patients with dental anxiety
- Supports periodontal therapy and aesthetic treatments
3D CT Scanning & Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Cone Beam CT imaging gives us a high-resolution, 3D view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and bone — essential for planning implants, extractions, and bone grafting.
- Unmatched accuracy for diagnostics and surgical planning
- Allows for safer, more predictable outcomes
- Used in TMJ evaluation and airway assessment
Computer-Guided Implant Surgery
For patients receiving dental implants, we use digital planning software to simulate placement and create a surgical guide — ensuring ideal position, depth, and angle.
- Improves implant success rates
- Minimally invasive for quicker healing
- Enhances precision in complex or full-arch cases like All-on-Four
Digital X-Rays
Compared to traditional film, digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation and produce instant, high-definition images — allowing us to detect decay, infection, or bone loss earlier and more comfortably.
- Safer and more environmentally friendly
- Easy to share and review with patients
- Enhances routine exams and diagnostic appointments
Panoramic X-Rays
This full-mouth image captures the entire jaw and sinuses in a single scan. It’s used for treatment planning in oral surgery, wisdom teeth, and orthodontic evaluations.
Intraoral Cameras
These tiny cameras fit comfortably inside your mouth, capturing detailed images of your teeth, gums, and restorations. It’s one of the best tools for patient education and transparency.
- Allows you to see exactly what we see
- Helps document progress and track oral health changes
- Great for monitoring wear from bruxism or fracture lines
Digital Impressions (iTero Scanner)
Say goodbye to goopy impression trays. Our iTero digital scanner creates highly accurate 3D models of your mouth for crowns, clear aligners, and digital dentures.
- More comfortable and precise than traditional molds
- Shortens lab turnaround times
- Ideal for cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic treatments
