How Technology Supports Your Care

Modern dental technology helps Dr. Felt see more, explain more clearly, and often treat more efficiently. Digital tools support earlier detection of decay, more precise implant planning, and same-day restorations for qualifying cases — supporting the clinical exam rather than replacing it. Technology informs treatment decisions; it doesn’t make them, and using it well still depends on clinical judgment and experience with each patient’s case.

Technology at Riverview Dental Care

Riverview Dental Care uses the following technology across general, preventive, restorative, and implant care. Not every technology is used for every patient — the right tools are selected based on the case.

Galileos CBCT (cone beam CT) Imaging

Creates three-dimensional images of the jawbone, teeth, and surrounding anatomy, most notably supporting CBCT-informed dental implant planning by showing bone volume, sinus position, and nerve location before surgery.

CEREC CAD/CAM Technology

Allows many qualifying dental crowns to be digitally designed and created in the office, often completed in one appointment instead of requiring a temporary crown and a second visit.

The ECD Electronic Caries Detector

Helps identify areas of tooth decay that may not be visible during a standard exam, supporting earlier detection.

Digital Impressions & Digital X-rays

Replace much of the traditional impression material and film-based X-rays used in older dental offices, creating faster, more comfortable records for crowns, restorations, and diagnosis.

Panoramic X-rays

Capture a wide image of the full jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures in a single scan, useful for evaluating wisdom teeth, bone levels, and overall oral anatomy.

Intraoral Cameras

Capture close-up images of individual teeth and restorations, making it easier for patients to see what Dr. Felt sees during an exam.

Soft Tissue Lasers

Are used selectively for certain procedures involving the gum tissue.

Cavitron Ultrasonic Scalers

Remove plaque and tartar buildup during professional cleanings and periodontal therapy more efficiently than hand instruments alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Technology

Riverview Dental Care uses Galileos CBCT imaging, CEREC CAD/CAM technology, an ECD electronic caries detector, digital impressions and X-rays, panoramic X-rays, intraoral cameras, soft tissue lasers, and Cavitron ultrasonic scalers.

CBCT imaging creates three-dimensional images of the jawbone and surrounding anatomy, helping evaluate bone volume, sinus position, and nerve location before implant surgery. It informs the treatment plan but doesn’t guarantee a specific surgical outcome.

CEREC allows many qualifying crowns to be digitally designed and created in the office, often the same day. Not every tooth or restoration qualifies for one-visit treatment — suitability depends on the individual case.

Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras typically use less radiation than older film X-rays and let you see close-up images of your own teeth during the exam, making it easier to understand what the dentist is looking at.

Riverview Dental Care is located at 114 E Riverside Dr, Carlsbad, NM 88220, near downtown Carlsbad and the Riverside Drive area, serving patients from Artesia and nearby Eddy County communities.
