Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance
patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
| Digital x-rays
can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image
directly into a computer monitor. This larger image
helps the patient understand the doctor's explanations
more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage
to this new technology is that it reduces the amount
of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster.
The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear
in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is
friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed
for developing the image. |

Intraoral Camera
|
|
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic
wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside
of your mouth. This allows us to let you see what we
see. |
MicroDentistry
MicroDentistry
means finding decay as early
as possible so that treatment can be done with minimal removal
of natural tooth structure. Restorations (fillings)
are the smallest possible, esthetically pleasing, and long-lasting.
In-house lab
CEREC® is a computer-aided
design and ceramic restoration system that allows
us to create permanent restorations in our office.
That means we can design, fabricate, and place an
incredibly esthetic ceramic restoration in a single
visit!

Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us to simulate cosmetic
and other procedures so you can see the effect on
your smile before we start! We take digital pictures
of your teeth and then use a sophisticated computer
simulation program to create the projected "after"
images.

Soft Tissue Laser
Modern lasers are used to cosmetically contour
gums, lengthen crowns
to provide ample structure for restoration, and treat
pockets of infection during gum
treatment.
Lasers are self-sterilizing, provide the maximum
amount of control, and are virtually painless during
the procedure and post-operatively.

DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system that
aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the complex
anatomy of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes
laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect
and quantify demineralized tooth substances without
x-ray exposure.

Air Abrasion
Air Abrasion is a gentle spray of an air and powder
that gently sprays away tooth decay. There is no heat,
vibration or sound, like there is from a drill. The
procedure is relatively painless, therefore not always
requiring an injection. Air abrasion is a very precise
technology and usually removes less tooth structure
for a filling than a drill would.

for a long time, the new materials can now be used in
a wider range of applications allowing you to keep your
smile as white as it can be! |
