Technology in the dental field is ever-changing and Dr. Dbouk enjoys learning how to integrate state-of-the-art equipment into his practice. Utilizing the latest advancements in dentistry allows Dr. Dbouk to treat patients with less pain and in fewer visits. This equals less time in the dental chair and a more comfortable experience from start to finish.
CBCT is a medical radiographic imaging that allows accurate, three dimensional (3D) imaging of hard tissue structures. CBCT delivers a lower dose of radiation compared to conventional CT scan, higher image quality and has more advantages than 2D scan like panoramic X Rays. It is valuable for 3D surgical planning, diagnosis of pathology, localization of impacted teeth, vertical fractures of roots and airway constriction.
The 3Shape TRIOS® is an award-winning digital scanner that allows Dr. Dbouk to take a digital scan of your mouth instead of using traditional alginate or other goopy impression materials. Digital impressions are more accurate, more comfortable, and allow Dr. Dbouk to see a computerized model of your mouth on his monitor in seconds. This model can be manipulated to present different treatment options. The images can be merged with CT scan images in a software and form digital guides for precise implant placement based on teeth and bone position.
3D printing has revolutionized dental restorations. Using CAD/CAM software and a digital impression, Dr. Dbouk can design a surgical guide, retainers, mouth guards. After the the intra-oral scan is made, the 3D printer creates your mouth guards, retainers and even surgical guides to guide implant placement for accurate positioning.
Dr. Dbouk regularly evaluates your overall health, including a visual exam of all areas of your mouth. VELscope® is a wireless, handheld device that emits a safe, blue light. VELscope® has performed more than 25 million exams and is recognized by the World Health Organization for its contribution to help detect cancerous and precancerous lesions. If we identify any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.
Intraoral cameras have a powerful magnification which can show high quality images of teeth and gum tissues. Dr Dbouk can refer to these images to show you changes of your oral health and hygiene between appointments.
Seattle Dental Studio uses digital imaging. Some of the many benefits of digital x-rays include:
X-Nav dental technology revolutionizes implant dentistry with unparalleled precision and accuracy.

At Seattle Dental Studio, Dr. Dbouk not only provides you with the highest quality care but also invests in technology that will make your dental visits successful and comfortable. Here’s how these advancements directly benefit you:
Instead of the traditional method of taking dental impressions using goopy materials that can be uncomfortable and trigger gag reflexes, the 3Shape TRIOS® Intra-Oral Scanner offers a more pleasant alternative. Within seconds, this digital scanner captures a precise 3D image of your mouth, allowing Dr. Dbouk to see your dental structure on a monitor instantly. This means fewer retakes and adjustments, leading to a more comfortable experience.
Gone are the days of uncomfortable, goopy impressions. With the 3Shape TRIOS® intra-oral scanner, Dr. Dbouk can create a digital map of your mouth in seconds. This technology enhances your comfort during the appointment and provides highly accurate digital impressions. These precise models enable better-fitting restorations, such as crowns or bridges, leading to improved function and aesthetics. Moreover, digital impressions can be quickly shared with dental laboratories, speeding up the overall treatment process.
Once the digital impression is taken, the Sprintray Printer allows for the rapid creation of dental restorations such as Temporary crowns, Splints, Retainers, Full arch hybrid temporaries, and surgical guides that will fit perfectly in your mouth. The precision of 3D printing reduces the need for multiple adjustments and visits. You spend less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying your day.
Your oral health is about more than just your teeth; it’s about the overall well-being of your mouth. The VELscope is a handheld device that produces a safe blue light that detects abnormalities in the tissues in your mouth that might not be visible to the naked eye. This early detection helps identify potential issues like oral cancer at its earliest stage, giving you a better chance at treating it before it progresses further and giving you peace of mind about your health.
Intraoral cameras are small devices that capture high-quality images of your teeth and gums. These images are displayed on a monitor, allowing you to see exactly what Dr. Dbouk sees. This visual aid enhances the understanding of your oral health and any recommended treatments. For instance, if you have a cracked tooth or there are signs of gum disease, Dr. Dbouk can view the affected area, making it easier to determine the best course of action.
Traditional X-rays can be time-consuming and expose you to higher levels of radiation. Seattle Dental Studio invested in Digital X-rays with 90% less radiation and almost instantly produced images. We are not only able to quickly diagnose what you need, but you spend less time at the dentist and avoid exposure to radiation.
For procedures like dental implants, precision is key. X-Nav technology provides real-time 3D guidance during implant placement, ensuring optimal accuracy. This precision leads to better outcomes and faster recovery times, allowing you to get back to your routine with minimal disruption.
