Our state-of-the-art office including the latest technology from Sirona, Isolite, EnvisionTEC, iTero, and CEREC allow Dr. Shanks and his team to provide class-leading results for your dental restorations.
The latest offering from CAD/CAM technology leader, CEREC is the Primescan. Because more data is captured in higher resolution our restorations fit better and match your existing oral structure more optimally. In addition to being so precise, the Primescan system is also quicker to use than previous generations of oral scanners which saves the patients time and is more comfortable. Capturing over a million 3D points per second, it gives us unparalleled information about your oral structure for single-tooth restorations to the full-arch prostheses such as a zirconia bridge.
Dr. Johnny Shanks uses iTero enhanced intraoral scanner designed to integrate with the Invisalign clear orthodontic aligners system to provide the most detailed visualization of your mouth. iTero also allows Dr. Shanks to predict outcomes after Invisalign treatment with the Outcome Simulator software. This software will give you a before-after treatment simulation so you can see what the treatment will look like once complete.
Dr. Johnny Shanks and his team use the EnvisionTEC dental 3D printer to create comfortable temporary aligners, models, and other oral devices in the office without having to wait for lab products. It allows our office unprecedented flexibility to provide patients everything from custom mouth guards to full denture arch bases quickly and precisely. More product types are added all the time to the line of EnvisionTEC dental products. Were always looking for ways to provide new options for our patients so they can get the results theyre looking for more quickly and affordably.
Dr. Shanks knows nobody likes to be in the dental chair getting a procedure any longer than necessary, and one of the steps hes taken to help keep his patients comfortable, safe, and allow for the best restorative and general procedures is the Isolite Dryfield Illuminator System. This revolutionary dental product combines the functions of lighting, suction, jaw positioning in a single device which makes it easier for Dr. Shanks and more comfortable for his patients. It continually evacuates saliva to keep the field dry to work in and has a built-in tongue and cheek protection system to keep your soft tissues away from the work area for increased safety for the patient.
Dr. Johnny Shanks employs the power of the Sirona XG 3D Digital Imaging System to make the most accurate 3D models of the jaw and face structure. This amazing digital imaging system allows Northside Family Dentistry to be able to create accurate surgical guides for implant surgery and evaluate the teeth for hidden infection. A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) machine is an essential part of a high-tech dental office in providing detailed information of underlying structure in order to create the most comprehensive restorations.
Providing better visibility and control and giving higher implant stability, the Magnetic Mallet device used by Dr. Johnny Shanks is a device that gives the dental surgeon a series of options for all advanced bone augmentation procedures such as sinus lifts, ridge expansion, and split crest while avoiding the use of milling and drills which remove material. The specialized dental tool allows Dr. Shanks to complete most surgical practices more easily and safely while achieving the best results for his patients.
