Dental Technology in Newark, OH

More Comfortable Visits. Clearer Answers About Your Care.

Dental technology should help you understand your health and receive care planned around your needs. At The Dentist, Dr. Jeffrey Kirian uses digital imaging, scanning and other tools to investigate concerns, explain findings and plan treatment in Newark, Ohio.

Call 740-366-1236 to schedule an appointment. We will discuss your concerns and explain which tools may be helpful for your care.

What These Tools Can Mean for You

  • A closer look at concerns: Images and diagnostic tools provide information beyond what you can see in a mirror.
  • Clearer explanations: Photographs help us show you the area being discussed.
  • An alternative to some traditional impressions: Digital scans record the shape of your teeth for appropriate restorative treatment.
  • Planning around your anatomy: Three-dimensional imaging can support selected implant and root canal evaluations.
  • Continuity between visits: Digital records help our team review your history and document changes.

Understanding What Is Happening in Your Mouth

Dr. Kirian combines a thorough examination with diagnostic tools selected for your needs. Intraoral photographs can help explain visible findings, while digital X-rays provide information about structures that cannot be assessed from the surface alone.

DIAGNOdent cavity detection may provide additional information about a suspicious tooth surface. Findings are considered together with your symptoms, history and cavity risk before treatment is recommended.

Digital Impressions for Restorative Care

Our 3Shape TRIOS scanner records the shape of teeth and gums to create digital impressions. Dr. Kirian uses scanning for many restorations, helping communicate the details needed for laboratory work.

Digital scanning can reduce the need for impression material in suitable cases. Traditional impressions may still be appropriate, depending on the treatment.

Imaging for More Detailed Planning

A panoramic X-ray provides a broad, two-dimensional view of the teeth and jaws. Cone beam imaging provides three-dimensional information when that detail is needed.

Dr. Kirian uses CBCT information to assess implant sites and root canal anatomy in appropriate cases. Imaging is recommended according to the examination, existing records and the information needed for your care.

Tools That Support Treatment

Our team has used EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy as its primary hygiene approach since 2024. It also helps our team explain areas where home cleaning needs attention.

For suitable implant cases, guided implant planning helps connect the planned tooth replacement with the placement procedure. Dr. Kirian also uses 3D printing for models and selected appliances.

Experience Guides the Recommendation

Dr. Kirian has completed coursework at The Dawson Academy focused on comprehensive care, function and natural mechanics. He also participates in continuing education through the Seattle Study Club.

His recommendations consider your oral health, overall health, goals and circumstances. You can ask what a tool will tell us, how that information may affect treatment and what alternatives are available.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Technology

Will I need every type of scan or image?

No. Dr. Kirian selects diagnostic tools according to your needs. Different tools answer different questions, and not every appointment requires new imaging.

Does digital scanning mean I can receive a crown the same day?

No. Our dental crowns are laboratory-made. Digital impressions can support the laboratory process, but our practice does not offer same-day crowns.

Can technology help if I have a strong gag reflex?

Digital scanning may be an alternative to traditional impression material for suitable treatment. Tell our team about your gag reflex or other concerns so we can discuss the approach.

Can I review images with the dentist?

Yes. Ask Dr. Kirian to explain what an image shows and how it relates to your treatment options. Understanding the findings is part of making an informed decision.
