Advanced Dental Technology at Monumental Dental

At Monumental Dental in Montrose and Grand Junction, we believe exceptional dentistry starts with advanced technology. By investing in modern dental equipment, we’re able to provide more accurate diagnoses, more comfortable treatments, and more efficient appointments. Our technology helps us deliver high-quality care while keeping your experience smooth, safe, and stress-free.

Below are some of the advanced tools we use to enhance your care.

CBCT Scanner (3D Cone Beam Imaging)

Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT imaging gives us a complete, three-dimensional view, allowing for more precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

CBCT technology is especially valuable for:

  • Dental implant planning
  • Wisdom teeth evaluation
  • TMJ assessment
  • Complex extractions
  • Detecting infections or bone loss

With clearer imaging comes greater accuracy, improved safety, and better long-term results.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

With CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place custom dental crowns in a single visit. That means no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no waiting weeks for a dental lab.

Using advanced digital scanning and in-office milling, we craft strong, natural-looking ceramic restorations that match your smile beautifully. CEREC allows us to restore damaged teeth quickly and efficiently — often in just one appointment.

Digital Impressions

Say goodbye to uncomfortable impression trays. Our digital impression system uses a small handheld scanner to capture precise 3D images of your teeth and gums.

Digital impressions provide:

  • Greater comfort
  • Improved accuracy
  • Faster turnaround for restorations
  • Better-fitting crowns, bridges, and aligners

This technology makes your visit easier while ensuring highly precise results.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a safer, faster, and more detailed alternative to traditional film X-rays. They use significantly less radiation while producing high-resolution images that can be viewed instantly.

Digital X-rays help us detect:

  • Cavities between teeth
  • Bone loss
  • Infections
  • Impacted teeth
  • Other hidden concerns

Because the images appear immediately on a screen, we can review them with you in real time and discuss your treatment options clearly.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is a small, high-resolution camera that allows us to show you exactly what we see inside your mouth. The images are displayed on a monitor, giving you a close-up view of your teeth and gums.

This technology helps with:

  • Early detection of dental issues
  • Patient education
  • Clear communication about treatment needs

When you can see what’s happening, you can feel more confident and informed about your care.

Panoramic X-Ray

A panoramic X-ray captures a full view of your entire mouth in one image, including your teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and surrounding structures. This wide-angle image is especially useful for evaluating overall oral health and planning treatments.

Panoramic imaging is commonly used for:

  • Orthodontic evaluations
  • Wisdom teeth assessment
  • Detecting cysts or tumors
  • Monitoring jaw development

It provides valuable insight while remaining quick and comfortable for patients.
