Revolutionizing Dental Treatment Planning in Springfield
At Hoffman|Stone, we've invested in the most advanced dental imaging technology available today. By combining three sophisticated scanning systems, we create a complete 5D patient avatar that allows us to plan, visualize, and execute treatments with unprecedented precision. This technology transforms how we diagnose conditions, design treatments, and communicate with our patients—ensuring predictable, optimal outcomes for dental implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, and complex restorative procedures.
Our Ray Quantum CBCT system captures high-resolution 3D images of your jaw, teeth, bone structure, sinuses, and nerve pathways with exceptional clarity. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays that provide only a flat view, CBCT imaging reveals your complete dentofacial anatomy in three dimensions.

The RayFace extraoral scanner captures your complete facial structure, expressions, and smile dynamics in stunning detail.

By understanding how your teeth relate to your lips, gums, and overall facial structure, we create restorations that don't just function perfectly—they enhance your natural beauty.
Our iTero Lumina intraoral scanner creates ultra-precise digital impressions of your teeth and gums without messy impression materials. This advanced scanning wand captures thousands of images per second, building a complete 3D model of your dental anatomy that's accurate to within 20 microns.

The true breakthrough comes when we integrate all three scans—CBCT, facial imaging, and intraoral scanning—into a single, comprehensive 5D patient avatar. This revolutionary technology overlays your bone structure, soft tissue, facial proportions, and tooth positions into one unified model, giving us an unprecedented view of your complete oral and facial anatomy.

What This Means for Complex Cases:
For dental implants, Dr. Hoffman can plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant while accounting for bone quality, nerve locations, and final tooth appearance. For full-mouth reconstruction, we can design your new smile to restore proper bite function while creating aesthetically pleasing results that complement your facial features. For All-on-X procedures, this technology enables us to plan the entire treatment—from extractions through final prosthetics—before your first surgical appointment.
