Advancements in Digital Dentistry at Prairie Dental

3d scanner for digital dentistry and digital impressions

At Prairie Dental Group, our team of dentists—Dr. Benjamin Fenger, Dr. Jeffrey Moos, Dr. Cole Boerema, Dr. Erik Engelbrektson, and Dr. James Watson—believe great dentistry isn’t just about skill and expertise. It’s also about using the right tools to make each visit more comfortable, efficient, and effective for our patients in Eden Prairie.

That’s why we’ve invested in digital technology that allows us to diagnose problems earlier, provide treatment with greater precision, and give patients a clearer picture of their oral health.

Digital X-Rays: Better Images, Less Radiation

With digital X-rays, we can see detailed images of your teeth and supporting structures within seconds. This eliminates the need for traditional film and allows us to spend more time focusing on your care instead of waiting for results. Digital X-rays also use significantly less radiation than older methods, giving patients added peace of mind about safety.

DIAGNOdent® Laser: Detecting Cavities Sooner

Tooth decay doesn’t always show obvious signs early on. Our DIAGNOdent laser allows us to find cavities in their earliest stages—sometimes before they’re visible to the eye or appear on X-rays. By identifying decay this early, we can treat it more conservatively, often preventing the need for larger fillings or more complex procedures later.

Intraoral Cameras: A Clearer View for Patients

When we examine your mouth, we don’t want you to feel left out of the process. Intraoral cameras give us the ability to capture crisp images of your teeth and gums and display them on a nearby screen. This allows you to see what we see, whether it’s a small crack, signs of wear, early gum inflammation, or areas of gum recession. Having that visual context makes treatment decisions clearer and helps patients feel more involved in their care.

3D Digital Impressions: Precision Without the Mess

Traditional dental impressions often involved trays of putty that could feel messy and uncomfortable. At Prairie Dental Group, we use a 3D digital scanner instead. The process is quick, accurate, and much more comfortable. These scans allow us to design crowns, bridges, implants, and aligners with remarkable precision, which translates to better-fitting and longer-lasting results.
