Proud Owners of CEREC® Omnicam Scanner
The CEREC® Omnicam Scanner is a state-of-the-art 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 are the newest technology used in dentistry to take and archive dental x-rays. Digital x-rays significantly reduce the amount of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. This technique captures a digital picture of teeth with their supporting bone structures and stores the images on a computer in our Hinsdale office. You and Dr. Alina Huff will be able to instantly view and enlarge your x-rays to aid in identifying dental problems and gauging your dental health. Dr. Alina Huff will use this information to create an individualized treatment plan.
Intra-Oral Camera
Taking pictures of the teeth and supporting tissue with a small video camera about the size of a pen is a wonderful addition to dentistry today. The intra-oral camera creates digital images stored on a computer at Hinsdale Dental Journey. The images are shared with our patients so they can join us in the "co-diagnosis" of problems with their dental health. Dr. Alina Huff can show you how others view your smile and which dental fillings are broken or discolored. We look forward to showing you a dental tour of your mouth in the privacy of your treatment room.
