Ready to give up the lead vest? New guidelines say protective gear is no longer needed during dental x-rays. What’s changed?
The dentist in Burbank is leading the way in adopting the latest advances in dental technology to enhance both the safety and efficiency of visits. An important part of this evolution is the introduction of the RAYFace 3D facial scanner and the DEXIS OP 3D imaging system. These innovative tools are redefining dental care by offering unprecedented precision, comfort, and results for every patient.
Why Were Lead Vests Used in Past Years?
Lead vests and thyroid collars have been worn by countless Americans during dental x-rays over the years. They’ve been in use for far longer than my lifetime — about 100 years. The heavy apron-like shields are placed over sensitive areas, including the chest and neck, before the x-rays are taken.
When lead vests and thyroid collars were first recommended, x-ray technology was much less accurate. But the technology has evolved significantly over the past few decades in ways that have dramatically improved patient safety. People will likely feel more comfortable when this practice is widely adopted by dentists as it has been by dentists in Burbank.
The Pinnacle of Face Driven Dentistry
The RAYFace 3D facial scanner is the pinnacle of Face Driven Dentistry, which plans treatments around the entire face. This breakthrough technology uses one-shot scanning to capture the most natural smile in 0.5 seconds. RAYFace uses six high-resolution cameras and blue light technology to visualize the face in 3D, minimizing discomfort and maximizing efficiency.
From the first scan to the last consultation, simplicity and efficiency are optimized. From scanning to diagnosis, from design to fabrication, this technology simplifies the treatment process. New RAYFace care prioritizes patient comfort and satisfaction.
RAYFace uses advanced artificial intelligence to combine intraoral scan, 3D facial scan and CT data into a dental avatar. This seamless integration improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, allowing for customized therapy based on each patient’s facial anatomy. The dental experience is more effective and engaging.
