What Happens When You Skip Routine Care?
It's easy to put off a cleaning when nothing hurts. But the consequences of skipping routine dental checkups tend to compound quietly over time.
Small areas of decay can progress into infections requiring root canals or extractions. Early-stage gum disease can advance into periodontitis, linked to bone loss and eventually tooth loss.
Staying current with checkups is the most effective way to protect both your health and your wallet.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is a CBCT dental scan in Pasadena safe?
Yes. CBCT scans use a focused, cone-shaped X-ray beam that captures detailed 3D images in a single rotation. The radiation exposure is significantly lower than a traditional medical CT scan. Dr. Lee uses CBCT imaging only when the diagnostic benefit is clear, ensuring every scan serves a specific purpose in your treatment plan.
Do digital impressions replace traditional X-rays?
No — digital impressions and X-rays serve different purposes. The iTero scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth and gums, replacing the physical mold material used for crowns, aligners, and restorations. Digital X-rays and CBCT scans capture internal structures like roots, bone, and nerves. Both tools work together to give Dr. Lee a complete picture of your oral health.
How does computer-guided implant technology improve outcomes?
Computer-guided implant placement uses 3D imaging data to pre-plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery begins. A custom surgical guide is created from that plan, so Dr. Lee follows a precise, pre-mapped path during placement. This approach is designed to improve accuracy, reduce surgical time, and support more predictable healing compared to freehand techniques.
Does Joshua Dental use an iTero scanner for orthodontic or restorative work?
Yes. The iTero digital impression system at Joshua Dental supports both restorative and orthodontic applications. For restorative work — including crowns, bridges, and inlays — it captures the precise fit needed for accurate lab fabrication. It can also be used to generate digital models for clear aligner planning. Your care team will let you know which scanning approach applies to your specific treatment.
