JAX Dental Studio uses digital tools at nearly every step of a visit, from the first scan to the final restoration. Dr. Charles Poblenz, DMD chooses each one for a practical reason: a clearer diagnosis, a more comfortable appointment, or a better fit. Here is what you will find at our office on Hendricks Avenue in San Marco.
Instead of a tray of impression putty, we scan your teeth with the iTero 5D. In a few minutes it builds a 3D model of your teeth on screen, so you see exactly what Dr. Poblenz sees. We use these scans to plan dental crowns, bridges, and clear aligner treatment, and to compare changes in your teeth and bite from one visit to the next.
Digital X-rays appear on screen right away and use less radiation than traditional film. We review them with you at the chair, so you can see the cavity, crack, or bone change we are talking about. When a case needs more detail, such as planning a dental implant or evaluating TMJ symptoms, cone beam CT imaging shows the teeth, jaw, and nerves in three dimensions. You can read more on our dental X-ray page.
Our soft tissue laser treats gum tissue without a scalpel. We use it during gum disease treatment to clean infected pockets, and for procedures like gum reshaping and frenectomies. Compared with traditional methods, laser treatment usually means less bleeding, less swelling, and a faster recovery. See our laser dentistry page for the full list of uses.
Dr. Poblenz includes an oral cancer screening in every comprehensive exam. It takes a few minutes and is one of the simplest ways to catch a problem early, when it is easiest to treat.
Every instrument is cleaned and sterilized between patients, and each treatment room is disinfected before the next appointment, following CDC guidelines for dental offices. If you would like to see how we prepare a room, ask any member of our team during your visit.
You can book an appointment online at any time of day. Our secure patient portal lets you fill out intake and health history forms before you arrive and check your statements from home. For urgent questions or a dental emergency, call the office directly.
Ask us about any tool we use and how it affects your treatment. We are open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
