What Is Dental Imaging?
Precise imaging provides clear insight into a wide range of dental issues. At Advanced Dental Care of Norton, dental digital imaging gives our skilled dental team a clear, detailed view of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Dental imaging may include digital dental x-rays, panoramic images, and 3D imaging that capture areas not visible during a routine exam. Our practice also uses an on-site cone beam CT scan (CBCT) and dental CAT scan system for precise three-dimensional views, often used in dental implant planning, oral surgery, and complex diagnostics. Our on-site CAT scan technology is considered one of the finest on the East Coast, and patients appreciate the ease and convenience of having it available in one location. Our advanced tools help guide accurate diagnoses and well-planned treatment. Schedule a consultation at our Norton, MA office to learn how detailed imaging can support your oral health.
How Does Dental Imaging Work?
Modern advanced dental imaging uses low-radiation technology to capture detailed images quickly and comfortably. Imaging devices are placed near the teeth or positioned around the head, depending on the type of scan. The system then produces clear images in seconds. Digital dental x-rays provide high-resolution views of individual teeth and surrounding bone. For more complex needs, a cone beam CT scan for dental implant planning creates a full 3D model of the mouth and jaw. Dental imaging allows our dental team to evaluate bone density, nerve placement, and overall structure with precision. Many patients ask how safe are dental x-rays and CT scans? These systems are designed with reduced radiation levels, making them a safe and reliable part of routine and advanced diagnostics. CBCT technology provides more focused images for dental use, improving accuracy while limiting exposure.

Advanced Dental Care of Norton Reviews
Pleasant atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Garcia takes the time to explain the proper steps for each procedure. No nonsense.
My son was born missing nine adult teeth, and as his baby teeth began to fall out, it became an emotional struggle for him. He stopped smiling and grew very self-conscious about the gaps where his adult teeth never came in. As a mom, that was incredibly hard to watch. In 2023, our dentist recommended we speak with an orthodontist to create a long-term plan to restore his smile. By November 2023, he had braces put on to begin straightening his teeth and creating space for future implants.We were then referred to Dr. Gracia at Advanced Dental in Norton, and from the very first consultation, we knew we were in the right hands. Dr. Gracia was compassionate, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. Most importantly, he gave my son confidence and hope again.Dr. Gracia set a goal of having temporary teeth in place by Christmas—and he made it happen. Seeing my son smile again during the holidays meant everything. The entire team at Advanced Dental is outstanding. From the welcoming front desk staff to the dental assistants, office managers, and Anesthesiologists —everyone is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Thanks to Dr. Gracia and his team, my son has his SMILE back and his confidence. I am beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.
Met my new hygienist Dee. Very friendly, did a great job with my visit. Also Dr Nick called me to back same day to go over a question. He was Very responsive, honest and helpful.
I have been a patient at Advanced Dental for over 30 yrs , I can’t say enough about their incredible staff and Dr Garcia the foundation of his team is not only an amazing dentist, but wonderful caring individual I consider my friend. Thank you
Friendly, Professional and very knowledgeable. I go to Advance Dental Care, and have been for 20 years, because this staff stays on top of all the latest procedures, certified in so many areas. That knowledge allows me to put my complete trust and confidence in them. I have had my share of dental work done, and sure I get anxious, but there is never a need. Once the procedure is over, I feel foolish for being scared. I would never change to another practice.
