Our Dental Technology
Proud Owners of CEREC® Omnicam Scanner
The CEREC® Omnicam Scanner is a digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our CEREC® Omnicam Scanner, Dr. Alina Huff can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than old putty-based impressions, but it's faster and can offer a superior clinical result.
- No goop or gag to worry about
- Fast, accurate impression
- See a simulation of your potential post-treatment smile
During the impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would, and you can even pause if you need to sneeze or ask a question. The scanner gives us a 3D model of your mouth that we use across all dental services at Hinsdale Dental Journey.

About Crowns & BridgesDigital Radiography
Digital x-rays capture detailed images of your teeth and supporting bone structures while emitting significantly less radiation than traditional film x-rays. Images are stored on a computer in our Hinsdale office so you and Dr. Alina Huff can instantly view and enlarge them to identify dental problems and gauge your overall dental health. This information helps Dr. Alina Huff create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that captures high-resolution images of your teeth and supporting tissue. The digital images are shared with you so you can participate in the "co-diagnosis" of your dental health. Dr. Alina Huff can show you exactly which fillings are broken or discolored and give you a clear picture of your options. We look forward to showing you a dental tour of your mouth in the privacy of your treatment room.
