Leading the Way with Advanced Dental Technology
Great dentistry keeps pace with innovation, and at Broadway Dental of Millbrae, we have invested in modern technology that raises the standard of care for our patients. The right tools mean faster diagnoses, more precise treatment, and fewer visits, so you spend less time in the chair and more time enjoying a healthy smile.
Every piece of equipment in our office is safe, effective, and well maintained. Dr. Donald Yang combines this technology with a personalized approach to deliver an efficient and comfortable experience for families across Millbrae, San Bruno, Tanforan, San Mateo, Hillsborough, Burlingame, and Daly City.
Here are some of the technologies we use to care for your smile.
Digital X-Rays
Our advanced digital X-rays magnify and enhance your teeth for better diagnosis and treatment. This technology captures images of your teeth and displays them on a computer screen quickly and easily, giving us a clear, detailed view of your teeth and the surrounding structures.
These images provide the information we need to plan your dental treatment with confidence. Digital X-rays also require far less radiation than traditional film X-rays, which makes them a safe and effective part of your care.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam imaging is an advanced form of digital radiography. With a single simple scan, the cone beam imager produces a detailed 3D image of your entire maxillofacial structure. That image supports accurate diagnostics, patient education, treatment planning, and treatment follow-up.
By using advanced tools like the cone beam, we can deliver an effective, efficient, and comfortable experience on every visit, especially for procedures like dental implants, root canals, and more complex cases that benefit from precise planning.
iTero Intraoral Scanner
What is the secret to making a great impression? At Broadway Dental of Millbrae, we use an iTero intraoral digital scanner to ensure the impressions we take are accurate, efficient, and comfortable every time.
Impressions are essential for creating dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Our handheld intraoral scanner captures 3D digital video impressions with proven accuracy, so even the most challenging cases can be scanned reliably.
The benefits to you are real. When we send precise digital scans to our lab, your restorations require less preparation work and can be fabricated more quickly, which means you enjoy your results sooner than with traditional impression methods. There is no need for messy dental trays or the soft material that once triggered many patients' gag reflex. Instead, the small handheld wand captures everything quickly and comfortably.
As we complete your scan, you can view the impression on the monitor along with us. This makes it easy to see exactly why we have recommended a specific treatment for your oral health. We look forward to making a great impression at your next visit.
Glidewell Fastmill.io Same-Day Dental Restorations
Broadway Dental of Millbrae uses Glidewell Fastmill.io technology to offer same-day dental restorations. We are committed to the most efficient and effective innovations available, and this patented CAD/CAM technology designs and crafts high-quality, metal-free restorations in a single visit.
The process is simple and precise. First, any decay is removed from the tooth. Next, we capture digital images using the Fastmill.io 3D modeling software. Dr. Yang views this 3D model on a high-definition screen and designs a restoration for a precise fit and a natural, attractive look. Once the design is complete, the Fastmill.io machine crafts your custom restoration from a solid block of ceramic, creating a strong and highly durable result. In about 15 minutes, the restoration is ready for placement, then bonded, adjusted, and polished for a beautiful finish.
With Glidewell Fastmill.io, you can leave your appointment with a brand-new restoration in hand. There is no need for multiple appointments, messy impressions, temporary restorations, or weeks of waiting on a lab.
You may be a candidate for Glidewell Fastmill.io technology if you:
- Have been told you need a new crown, inlay, onlay, or bridge
- Have a cracked tooth
- Have old or failing restorations
- Have had damage or trauma to a tooth
- Are interested in replacing old metal restorations with biocompatible ones
In most cases, a Glidewell Fastmill.io crown appointment takes less than two hours and requires no additional visits. The 3D imaging technology allows Dr. Yang to design a precise virtual restoration without traditional impressions, so your restoration looks great, fits perfectly, and is built to last for years.
