Dental Technology in Westlake Village, CA
Modern Dentistry Designed for Precision and Comfort
At Westlake Dental Arts, technology isn't an add-on — it's the foundation of how we deliver care. Every tool and system in our practice is selected to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment precision, and the overall patient experience. With a focus on comfort and outcomes, we use the latest dental technology to provide elevated care for patients in Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Newbury Park.
Our concierge-style model allows us to dedicate more time to each patient while using advanced digital systems to streamline every stage of treatment. Whether you're here for a routine exam or a complex restorative procedure, our in-house technology gives us the power to plan and perform with a level of detail that traditional methods simply can’t match. All care is overseen by Dr. Ted Baum, who brings both clinical expertise and a local’s perspective to every treatment plan.
Our On-Site Dental Technologies
We’ve equipped our practice with tools that support minimally invasive care, faster recovery, and improved long-term outcomes. These technologies are integrated into general, cosmetic, and restorative services, so every patient benefits from advanced capabilities — not just those undergoing complex procedures.
Our dental technology includes:
- Cone Beam CT Scanning
Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, Cone Beam CT provides 3D imaging of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and sinuses. It’s critical for procedures like dental implants and bone grafting, where spatial precision is essential. - Computer-Guided Implant Placement
With digital planning software, we map implant placement down to the millimeter. This allows for safer, more accurate placement and improved long-term success for implant-based restorations such as implant-supported dentures and implant overdentures. - Digital X-Rays
These low-radiation images provide instant, high-resolution visuals of your teeth and bone structure. We use digital X-rays as part of routine care, including dental cleanings and exams and oral cancer screenings. - Intra-Oral Cameras
These small, high-definition cameras let us show you exactly what we see — from tiny fractures to early signs of decay. They improve transparency and patient understanding during exams, cosmetic planning, and restorative consultations.
Why Technology Matters to Our Patients
Dental technology helps us deliver more than just efficient appointments — it empowers us to be more precise, proactive, and conservative in our treatments. Our systems reduce the need for guesswork and improve treatment planning, which is especially valuable in a practice built on one-on-one care.
Patients benefit from:
- More accurate diagnostics
- Predictable results for complex procedures
- Shorter and fewer appointments
- Increased comfort during treatment
- Better long-term function and aesthetics
This is particularly important for patients considering long-term cosmetic or restorative investments, such as smile makeovers, veneers, or CEREC same-day crowns.

What is Cone Beam CT, and why would I need it?
Cone Beam CT scanning provides a 3D image of your oral and facial structures, offering significantly more detail than traditional X-rays. It's essential for procedures involving implants, jaw health assessments, and treatment planning in complex cases.
How is computer-guided implant surgery different from traditional placement?
Computer-guided implants use digital imaging and mapping software to pre-plan the ideal position, angle, and depth of an implant. This allows for more accurate placement, fewer complications, and better integration with restorative treatments.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. They also produce immediate results, helping us diagnose and explain issues more efficiently.
What do intra-oral cameras show?
These cameras capture close-up images of your teeth and gums in real time. They're especially helpful during evidence-based exams, cosmetic consultations, and when tracking changes over time.
Does this technology increase the cost of treatment?
Not necessarily. In fact, many of these tools help reduce the need for extra appointments, unnecessary procedures, or external referrals — saving time and money in the long run. We’re also transparent about all costs and offer financing options through CareCredit.
