Our office employs many types of new technology.  These technologies benefit the patient by offering improved diagnosis and care.

CAD/CAM Dentistry

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) offer advanced treatment options with less waiting time for a restoration. Using a special scanner, the office can take a digital impression without using traditional trays, improving patient comfort.  The restoration(s) is then designed using advanced computer 3D technology that can analyze the interaction of the new restoration with your other teeth.  A new crown can be milled out of a solid piece of tooth-colored composite material.  Advancements in materials and technology have provided many options for great restorations that can both look great, provide superior strength compared to other restorations, and reduce the need for multiple visits to the office.

Digital X-ray

Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed to produce an image as compared to film x-rays.  The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care.  It’s also a very green technology.  By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste, digital x-rays are better for both the patient and the environment!

Digital Intraoral Cameras

An intraoral camera combines the latest video technologies with dental care. Both the patient and dentist can see detailed images of the teeth and mouth in real time.  With an intraoral camera, patients are able to better understand what is happening and review the status of their oral health.

Digital Caries Detection

With this latest technology, a UV light detects cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye.  This technology enables dentists to practice minimally invasive dentistry by providing a better possibility of diagnosing this disease at an early stage.

Ultra Quiet Electric Handpieces

These handpieces provide less vibration and noise than traditional dental drills.  They are quieter and more efficient in tooth preparation, making dental procedures shorter and more manageable.

Soft Tissue Lasers

Soft tissue lasers are used for periodontal (gum) surgeries.  These lasers are more efficient, cause less discomfort, promote a faster healing time, and decrease the risk of infection, providing a better outcome.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones

These ultra quiet headphones are for patient use during any dental procedure.  Patients can listen to their favorite music, movie, or television show without having to hear all of the surrounding noise going on as the dental work is being performed.

Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) formerly known as The Wand

An injection device utilizing a computer to anesthetize a tooth rather a whole area. Patient’s won’t have a numb tongue, lip or cheek and are able to go back to work or social event, able to speak and  eat, without waiting for the anesthetic to fade away.
