Technology

Digital x-rays paired with our advanced sensors offer a modern and comfortable way to capture detailed images of your teeth and jaws. At Blu Dental & Wellness, we use them to precisely detect and diagnose dental issues, such as hidden cavities, that may not be visible to the naked eye. Dr. Timmerman also helps you understand your treatment needs by using your x-rays to explain conditions that he recommends addressing.

As a major advantage, digital x-rays emit significantly less radiation—about 80 percent—than traditional radiographs, enhancing your safety and overall wellness. There's no processing required, so there are no harmful chemicals, making them safer for the environment. 

Commonly known as CBCT, this innovative imaging technology takes us beyond traditional two-dimensional x-rays. It captures 3-D, panoramic views of your teeth, surrounding bone, soft tissues, and nerve pathways. This enhanced clarity and detail give Dr. Timmerman a comprehensive understanding of your oral anatomy and assists in precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

CBCT is particularly beneficial for complex procedures such as dental implant placement or root canal therapy and helps us ensure a high degree of accuracy for positive outcomes. 

Our panoramic x-ray technology provides a comprehensive view that includes all your teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding structures in one image. Dr. Timmerman obtains a clear image of potential bone irregularities, tumors, cysts, infections, and fractures using a specially designed machine that rotates around your head. With this thorough snapshot, Dr. Timmerman crafts effective individualized treatment plans that enhance our wellness-oriented care.

VELscope is a non-invasive tool we use to perform oral cancer screenings. Its unique blue-spectrum light helps Dr. Timmerman detect abnormalities and diseases, including oral cancer, before they're visible to the naked eye. With VELscope, we prioritize your health by ensuring early detection and treatment.

Rotary endodontics uses an electrically-powered instrument to perform efficient root canal treatment. This technology has a flexible tip that reaches easily into curved root canals to comfortably remove infected dental pulp. The procedure is more straightforward and effective than using traditional hand files, resulting in more comfortable, efficient treatment, better outcomes, and less time spent in the dental chair for you. 

Gone are the days of messy and uncomfortable dental impressions! At Blu Dental & Wellness, we use digital impression technology to create accurate 3-D models of your mouth. These impressions are invaluable for producing restorative dental work like crowns, bridges, and veneers that fit perfectly and look natural. They also deliver more precise results than traditional paste impressions, resulting in more effective treatment planning and better outcomes.

Maintaining digital records ensures your information is kept organized, confidential, and easily accessible to our dental team in Marysville. Digital record-keeping enhances efficiency, accuracy, and communication, allowing us to provide you with seamless and personalized dental care.

Laser dentistry allows us to perform various dental procedures with high precision and minimal discomfort. We often use this technology for treatments like gum reshaping or periodontal therapy, which promotes faster healing and less bleeding and even reduces the need for sutures. 

With an intraoral camera, you can see what Dr. Timmerman sees. The tiny, pen-like device provides high-resolution images of your mouth that appear on a monitor in real time. This ability allows us to show you problem areas in great detail so we can explain what's happening and discuss treatment options.
