Berry Road Dental · Norman, Oklahoma
At Berry Road Dental, dental technology in Norman, OK is used for one simple reason: to help you feel calm, informed, and cared for at every visit. We welcome new patients, and before any treatment begins, we walk you through what we find and what it will cost, so there are no surprises. The tools described below, from digital X-rays to 3D imaging, are how our team backs up that promise with clear pictures and gentle, accurate care.
Clear answers. Thoughtful care.
Good technology should make your visit easier, not more confusing. Digital tools let our team spot problems earlier, show them to you clearly, and plan treatment with more accuracy. That usually means shorter appointments, fewer surprises, and a much clearer picture of your costs before any work starts. To see how these tools support the care we provide across the practice, take a look at our full list of services.
Digital X-rays are usually the first piece of dental technology patients notice at their visit. Instead of old film, we use digital sensors that create images in seconds and use less radiation than traditional X-rays. Families in Norman have relied on our digital X-rays for years, and we also use these images during routine checkups, the same visits covered under our general dentistry care.
For more complex treatment, we use a cone beam CT scan that gives a full 3D view of the teeth, jaw, and nerves. This detailed image helps Dr. Croom plan treatment with more precision, especially before procedures like dental implants, where the exact shape and density of your jawbone matters. It also means fewer guesses and a treatment plan you can feel confident about before we begin.
Nobody looks forward to biting down on a tray of thick impression material. Our iTero scanner glides over your teeth and builds a detailed digital model in just a few minutes. It's faster, more comfortable, and gives our team an accurate view for crowns, bridges, and other work through our restorative dentistry services, without the mess of a traditional mold.
We also use a small camera that shows you exactly what we see, right on the screen beside your chair. Instead of just hearing about a cracked filling or a worn spot, you can look at it yourself and ask questions before deciding on care. This kind of clear, visual explanation supports the same thorough, honest conversations our patients tell us they value. If cost is part of that conversation, our insurance and financing options page can help you plan ahead.
Questions, answered
Yes. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than older film X-rays and are considered safe for routine dental checkups. We only take the images needed to properly check your teeth and gums, and we're glad to answer any questions before we begin.
A cone beam CT scan creates a detailed 3D image of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone. We use it mainly to plan procedures like dental implants and to look closely at areas a regular X-ray can't show clearly, so treatment can be planned with more accuracy.
In most cases, no. The iTero scanner replaces the need for traditional putty impressions for many procedures, including crowns and orthodontic planning. Your dentist will let you know if a traditional impression is ever still needed for your specific treatment.
