Dental Technology
Comfort, efficiency, and accuracy all come standard with our modern dental technologies. Every piece of dental equipment we rely on is safe, effective, and carefully maintained, so the care you receive stays as precise and comfortable as you deserve.
Pearl AI Caries Detection
To help read your digital X-rays, we rely on Pearl, an FDA-cleared artificial intelligence system. Trained on millions of dental images, Pearl's algorithms flag areas of concern (including early-stage cavities, bone loss, and calculus) that can be easy to overlook on a single viewing. Drs. Brammeier and Ericson personally review every AI finding, so AI-assisted X-ray review and expert clinical judgment work together on your behalf.
CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
With CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), a revolutionary system Brammeier Family Dental is proud to offer, Drs. Brammeier and Ericson can design, create, and place a custom porcelain crown in just one visit. Your crown is milled right here in our office while you wait, using 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology. That means no temporary crown, no second appointment, no waiting weeks.

Panoramic X-Ray / Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
In a single rotation, our panoramic unit (which doubles as a Cone Beam CT, or CBCT, scanner) captures a full 360-degree view of your teeth, sinuses, and jaw. Where a standard panoramic image stops, CBCT keeps going, producing detailed 3D cross-sectional views of bone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy. That depth of detail makes it invaluable for implant planning, evaluating jaw health, and orthodontic treatment planning, giving Drs. Brammeier and Ericson far more information than traditional X-rays alone.
iTero Digital Impression Scanner
For orthodontic care, the iTero Digital Impression Scanner proves both more accurate and far more comfortable than traditional impression methods. There is no messy putty involved; instead, a small handheld wand digitally maps your teeth and jaw in minutes, building a precise 3D model that customizes your Invisalign treatment plan. You can even preview a simulation of your new smile before treatment begins.

Intraoral Camera
Roughly the size and shape of a pen, the intraoral camera captures clear images of your teeth, gums, and mouth from the inside. Its small, sleek design keeps it comfortable and easy to use for patients of every age. The images appear on a screen so you can see exactly what your dentist sees, which makes it a powerful tool for both diagnosis and patient education. To safeguard your health and safety, we fit the intraoral camera with a new disposable cover every time we use it.
Digital X-Rays
By magnifying and enhancing your teeth, our advanced digital X-rays support better diagnosis and treatment. The technology lets us capture images of your teeth and bring them up on a computer screen quickly and easily. Digital X-rays reveal your teeth and the surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy, giving us the information to plan your dental treatment with confidence.
Because digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, they are a safer, faster, and more effective tool for patients of every age.
