Dental Technology in Bloomington, MN
Modern Tools for a More Comfortable, Accurate Dental Experience
At Bloom & Smile Dental in Bloomington, MN, we believe your dental care should be as comfortable, efficient, and accurate as possible. That’s why we’ve invested in advanced dental technology — including digital X-rays, panoramic imaging, intraoral cameras, and iTero digital impressions — to improve diagnostics, enhance communication, and elevate your care.
Technology doesn’t replace personal attention — it helps us deliver it better.
Advanced Imaging & Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Our imaging tools help Dr. Elena Opare detect problems early and explain them clearly — often before you feel discomfort or symptoms.
Digital X-Rays
Our low-radiation digital X-rays produce high-quality images in seconds — with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
Benefits include:
- Safer imaging for adults and kids
- Instant viewing for faster diagnosis
- Easier to store and track over time
- Environmentally friendly (no film or chemicals)
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic imaging captures a full view of your upper and lower jaw in a single image. This is especially useful for:
- Wisdom teeth evaluations
- Orthodontic assessments
- Jaw joint disorders (TMJ)
- Diagnosing cysts or bone abnormalities
Intraoral Cameras
Tiny, high-resolution cameras let us show you exactly what we see in your mouth — in real time on a screen.
These cameras help with:
- Cavity detection
- Tracking gum health
- Monitoring cracks or wear
- Patient education and treatment planning
Nomad Handheld X-Ray Device
Our portable Nomad X-ray system improves comfort and flexibility by allowing us to take precise images right at the chair without repositioning.
Digital Impressions with iTero Scanner
Forget the goopy trays and long waits — iTero digital impressions provide a cleaner, faster, and more precise alternative.
With a small handheld wand, we capture a full 3D image of your teeth and bite, which we use for:
Crowns
Bridges
Veneers
Night guards and mouthguards
Digital case tracking and faster lab communication
iTero impressions are especially helpful for patients with a strong gag reflex, young kids, or anyone who prefers a mess-free, comfortable scan.
