Dental Technology

About the same size as a marker, intraoral cameras are digital imaging tools used to create high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach places in your mouth. Intraoral cameras help dental professionals detect dental issues, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Other great benefits include:

• You can see, with precision, where you need to focus on brushing or flossing.
• You can see the difference before and after treatment.
• You can see magnified images of your teeth and gums, which helps dental professionals diagnose gum disease and cavities, and if caught early, can help prevent them.
• These photos provide proof for insurance companies to give you the coverage you need.
• Intraoral cameras also limit your time in the office because the images are produced in real-time, and the outcomes are available almost immediately.

In 2007, the dental industry made another advancement with a new piece of technology called the iTero digital scanner. This piece of technology takes highly accurate 3D scans of your mouth. The iTero digital scanner is commonly used to help dental professionals create accurate models for dental restorations which include implants, crowns, and veneers. It is also commonly used for orthodontics to identify issues that may occur during an orthodontic treatment, such as for braces or clear aligners.

The handpiece is fitted with several single-use tips to access any area of our mouths, and there is a handpiece to be used for bio stimulation in pain relief and a whitening contour handpiece for patients who wish to receive laser-assisted in-office whitening.

We understand that staying inside can cause air to become dense. As more people filter through an area, it is common that the air quality may lack in cleanliness. Due to the constant change in temperature, a building may hold onto bacteria, mold, or illnesses. However, we have an air-filtration system, commonly known as Surgically Clean Air. It is an air cleaning process that has a six-step filtration which helps remove any harmful bacteria in the surrounding area. Our patient's health is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we have implemented this system in our office.
