Technology

At Arnett Dental Care, Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt use advanced CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) 3-D imaging technology to provide superior diagnostic capabilities for our Murray, KY, patients. This state-of-the-art system captures detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure in a single scan.

CBCT imaging enables precise treatment planning for dental implants, root canals, extractions, and orthodontics while using significantly less radiation than traditional CT scans. With more precise visualization and more accurate measurements, we can deliver safer, more predictable outcomes for your dental care.

Digital x-rays offer significant benefits over film x-rays, including up to 90 percent less radiation exposure for your safety and peace of mind. Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt can view your images instantly on a chairside screen, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and better treatment planning.

These high-resolution images can be easily enhanced, stored electronically, and shared with specialists when needed. Digital x-rays are also friendly to the environment, as they eliminate chemical processing and waste. 

Arnett Dental Care uses state-of-the-art panoramic x-ray technology to capture a comprehensive look at your entire mouth in a single image. Unlike traditional x-rays, which show individual teeth, panoramic x-rays provide Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt with a complete picture of your sinuses, teeth, jaws, and bone structures.

This advanced imaging is invaluable for planning complex treatments like dental implants, evaluating wisdom teeth, detecting jaw disorders, and identifying hidden dental issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. The process is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. You simply stand still while the machine rotates around your head. Panoramic x-rays help us deliver more accurate diagnoses and create better treatment plans tailored to your unique needs!

At Arnett Dental Care, we want every patient to feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental visit. That's why Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt offer nitrous oxide sedation, commonly called "laughing gas," to help ease dental anxiety and create a more pleasant experience.

This safe, effective sedation option works quickly. Simply breathe in the odorless gas through a small nasal mask, and within minutes you'll feel calm and at ease while remaining fully conscious and responsive. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients of all ages who experience nervousness or fear about dental procedures.

Best of all, the effects subside almost immediately after we remove the mask, allowing you to get back to your normal activities right away. Experience stress-free dentistry with nitrous oxide at Arnett Dental Care.

Arnett Dental Care has embraced leading-edge digital record-keeping technology to enhance your patient experience and streamline your dental care in Murray, KY. By maintaining comprehensive digital records, Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt can instantly access your complete dental history, treatment plans, x-rays, and important health information at the touch of a button. This modern system improves accuracy, reduces paperwork, and ensures your information is securely stored and protected.

Digital records also make it easier to coordinate care with specialists, process insurance claims more efficiently, and track your oral health progress over time. Plus, our paperless approach is environmentally friendly and helps us maintain an organized, clutter-free practice. 

At Arnett Dental Care, your comfort is our priority, which is why we've equipped our treatment rooms with televisions to help you feel at ease and relax during your visit. Whether you're in for a routine teeth cleaning or a more involved procedure, you can enjoy your favorite shows, catch up on the news, or watch something entertaining while Dr. Arnett or Dr. Pruitt works on your smile.

This thoughtful amenity helps distract from any anxiety you might feel and makes your appointment time pass more quickly and pleasantly. We believe that dental care should be as stress-free as possible, and small touches like in-room entertainment make a big difference in creating a welcoming, patient-centered environment. 

Say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions! Arnett Dental Care uses advanced digital impression technology to capture highly accurate 3-D images of your teeth and gums without the need for goopy impression materials. Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt use a small, handheld scanner to quickly and comfortably map your mouth in just minutes.

This state-of-the-art technology is faster, more precise, and far more pleasant than conventional methods, eliminating the gagging and discomfort many patients associate with traditional impressions. Digital impressions also improve the fit and quality of restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers while reducing appointment times. The images can be instantly viewed on a screen and sent directly to our dental lab for faster turnaround. 

At Arnett Dental Care, we believe that understanding your oral health empowers you to make informed decisions about your treatment. That's why Dr. Arnett and Dr. Pruitt use advanced intraoral camera technology to give you a clear, up-close view of what's happening inside your mouth.

This sleek, small camera takes high-resolution images of your teeth and gums and instantly displays them on a chairside monitor so you can see exactly what we see. Whether identifying a cavity, showing gum inflammation, or explaining a recommended procedure, these detailed images help us communicate more effectively and involve you in your care.

The intraoral camera allows us to detect issues early, document your treatment progress, and ensure nothing is overlooked.
