At White Oak Family Dentistry, we use the Trios 5 intraoral scanner in Birmingham, Alabama, to capture detailed digital images of your teeth and gums in a way that feels modern and comfortable. This technology helps our dentists and team see your smile clearly, document changes over time and explain findings in plain language. The goal is simple: help you feel informed, respected and confident about your care.
Dr. Nathan Gray and Dr. Mechay R. Gray believe technology should support people, not replace personal connection. That is why we take time to walk you through what the scan shows and why it matters. If you have dental anxiety or sensory concerns, we can slow down, pause or explain each step before it happens. We also welcome patients who prefer bilingual or multilingual communication when available, because understanding is part of comfort.
What to Expect During a Digital Scan
A Trios 5 scan is a quick process that uses a small handheld wand to take images as it moves around your mouth. The scanner does not use messy materials, and many patients find it easier than older methods. Images appear on a screen right away, which helps you follow along and ask questions in the moment.
Benefits many patients notice include:
- A more comfortable experience for many people
- Clear visuals that make dental information easier to understand
- Fast image capture that supports efficient appointments
- Detailed records that help our team track your smile over time
- A clean, modern process designed to reduce guesswork
Why This Technology Can Improve Your Visit
Digital scanning can support stronger communication between you and your care team. When you can see what our dentists can see, conversations often feel more straightforward and collaborative. The Trios 5 intraoral scanner also supports consistent documentation, which can be useful when comparing images from one visit to the next.
