Our Technology
At Every Smile Is Beautiful, we believe the right technology helps us provide thorough, personalized dental care while making your visit more comfortable and efficient. Under the care of Dr. Angela An and Dr. Ricci Chan, we use digital tools that help us examine your oral health, explain our findings, and recommend treatment based on your individual needs. If you are looking for a dental clinic in San Mateo, you'll find a welcoming office where technology supports better communication and informed dental care.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays permit us to capture detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures within seconds. These images help us identify concerns that may not be visible during a routine examination. Using dental X-rays, we can discuss your oral health with you and create a treatment plan based on accurate diagnostic information.
iTero® Scanners
Our iTero scanner creates detailed digital impressions without the need for traditional impression materials in many cases. Digital models created with iTero scanners help us plan Invisalign treatment, crowns, and other restorative procedures while making the process more comfortable for many patients.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera gives you a close-up view of your teeth and gums during your appointment. By seeing the images together, you can gain a clearer insight into your oral health and the rationale for any suggested treatments, which allows you to be more involved in the decision-making regarding your care.
Intraoral Scanner
The intraoral scanner captures precise digital impressions that can be used for crowns, bridges, and other restorative treatments. Patients interested in an intraoral scanner often appreciate the quick, comfortable scanning process and the detailed images that support accurate treatment planning.
In-House 3D CBCT Scan
Our in-house CBCT scanner provides three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. This additional level of detail helps us carefully evaluate dental implants, impacted teeth, oral surgery, and other treatments that benefit from advanced imaging.
3-D Printer
An in-house 3-D printer allows our team to produce selected dental models and surgical guides within the practice. Having this technology available helps us prepare for treatment more efficiently while supporting accurate planning for certain procedures.
CAD/CAM Dentistry
With CAD/CAM dentistry, digital impressions and computer-guided design allow us to create customized restorations for eligible patients. This technology supports precise planning and may reduce the number of appointments needed for certain crowns and restorations.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry allows us to perform selected soft tissue procedures with precision when clinically appropriate. Depending on your treatment needs, laser technology may be used as part of a personalized treatment plan while helping preserve healthy surrounding tissue.
STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia)
The STA system is a computer-assisted method of delivering local anesthetic with greater control. By targeting a specific area, we can provide effective numbing while keeping the rest of your mouth as comfortable as possible during treatment.
No Drill Restorations with Curodont®
For selected cases involving early enamel changes, Curodont dental treatment may help support the natural remineralization process without traditional drilling. After a thorough examination, we will determine whether this conservative option is appropriate for your oral health needs.
VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening
Routine oral cancer screening is an important part of maintaining your oral health. Using VELscope dental technology, we can examine the soft tissues of your mouth under enhanced visualization to identify areas that may require additional evaluation. This screening supports early assessment but does not diagnose oral cancer.
Same-Day Crowns
For eligible patients, same-day crown technology allows us to design, create, and place a custom crown during one visit. Your dentist will recommend this option only when it is appropriate for your individual treatment needs.
Technology That Supports Your Care
Technology is only one part of the care we provide. Just as important is taking the time to answer your questions and explain every recommendation clearly. Patients appreciate being able to communicate comfortably with our multilingual team, receive personalized care from experienced dental professionals, and find dental services for children, adults, and seniors in one convenient location. We are proud to care for families from Millbrae, Foster City, and Belmont, helping our neighbors maintain healthy smiles close to home.
