When you choose Beyond Smiles of Park Ridge, you can trust that we’ll use the latest dental technology to deliver the highest quality care. We use a combination of digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and sleep apnea analysis tools to meet each patient’s needs.
Visual exams alone are not always adequate for evaluating a patient’s condition. Using advanced technology for assessing dental problems, disordered breathing, and other airway-related health issues ensures effective treatment.

3D Digital Imaging Technology for Effective Dental Treatment
New dental technology like 3D imaging allows our professionals to accurately treat a variety of conditions. At Beyond Smiles, we use digital X-rays as well as 3D technology with flexible parameters.
The i-CAT FLX V-Series includes three highly precise cone beam 3D systems. Each model features low-dose imaging and ergonomic seated scanning.
The i-CAT system we use supports a wide range of clinical applications including orthodontics, airway analysis, and more.
3D imaging gives us the ability to see details that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. Scans can uncover hidden cavities, tumors, orthodontic issues, and evaluate jawbone density and the health of tooth roots and blood vessels.
In our practice, the use of this cutting-edge, cone beam 3D technology ensures we gather accurate diagnostic information in a non-invasive manner. It also aids us in crafting personalized treatment plans.
Sleep & Airway Dentistry Technology
Conditions like UARS, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), TMJ, etc., require special evaluation from trained professionals. At Beyond Smiles, we’re highly familiar with sleep apnea, airway management, and related concerns. We use 3D imaging in treating these types of conditions, as well as advanced sleep tracking technology.
At our dental practice, we use SleepSat and SatScreen to track and analyze sleep-disordered breathing events. SleepSat is a 3-D high-resolution pulse oximeter. While SatScreen software provides quick, detailed reports to enhance diagnosis and therapy management. SleepSat focuses on accurate data collection, while SatScreen specializes in reporting.
These tools are essential for managing sleep apnea and related conditions. This is because once we have the information necessary to understand a medical problem, we’re able to provide personalized, effective treatment.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays at Beyond Smiles produce high-quality images instantly, allowing our dentists to diagnose issues accurately and quickly. The digital format reduces radiation exposure significantly when compared to traditional X-rays, ensuring greater patient safety. In addition, they are easier to store, access, and exchange with other dental practitioners.
