Enhancing Precision and Comfort Through Modern Tools
Modern dentistry is constantly evolving — and the right technology can make your experience faster, safer, and more precise. At 6 Corners Dental Studio, we’ve invested in advanced dental technology that supports accurate diagnostics and improves every stage of your visit, from prevention to treatment planning.
Our approach blends the latest tools with personalized care. We use technology not to replace the human side of dentistry, but to strengthen it. Whether you're here for a routine exam or a more complex procedure, our technology helps us deliver results that are both effective and comfortable.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are essential to detecting problems that aren’t visible during a visual exam. We use digital X-ray imaging, which is safer, faster, and more detailed than traditional film X-rays.
Benefits of digital X-rays include:
- Lower radiation exposure
- Instant image capture and viewing
- Enhanced diagnostic clarity with zoom and contrast tools
- Environmentally friendly — no chemicals or film needed
- Easy sharing of images for treatment planning or referrals
Digital X-rays help us detect cavities between teeth, evaluate bone health, monitor tooth development, and prepare for procedures like extractions or restorative treatments.
They’re a key part of every comprehensive dental exam, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.
Intraoral Cameras
One of the most valuable tools we use to enhance transparency and patient education is the intraoral camera. These handheld devices capture high-resolution images inside your mouth, giving both you and Dr. Julienne Hong a clear view of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues in real time.
Intraoral cameras help with:
- Detecting small cracks, chips, or wear
- Monitoring gum health and inflammation
- Documenting areas for insurance claims or progress tracking
- Engaging patients by showing exactly what we see
Rather than simply describing a problem, we can show you what’s happening — allowing for more collaborative and confident treatment decisions. This technology is especially helpful when diagnosing early-stage issues that might not yet cause symptoms.
Technology That Improves Your Dental Experience
At 6 Corners Dental Studio, we believe dental care should be efficient, minimally invasive, and grounded in clear communication. Our dental technology supports that mission by:
- Reducing chair time with instant imaging
- Enhancing diagnostic accuracy to catch problems early
- Improving patient comfort during exams and procedures
- Facilitating detailed treatment planning
- Supporting long-term monitoring of oral health conditions
From preventive care to cosmetic and restorative treatments, technology plays a role in nearly every service we provide.

How often do I need dental X-rays?
It depends on your oral health history, risk of decay, and current symptoms. Some patients need them annually; others may need them more or less frequently. We’ll customize your imaging schedule during your dental exam.
What’s the benefit of intraoral cameras?
Intraoral cameras provide a detailed view of your mouth that helps us spot issues early and explain them clearly. They also help you feel more involved in your care by letting you see what we see.
Do you use this technology for children as well?
Yes. Our digital X-rays and intraoral cameras are safe and effective for patients of all ages, including children receiving pediatric dental care.
