Digital X-rays have revolutionized how we capture images of your teeth and mouth. Introduced in 1987, this technology combines traditional X-ray practices with computer technology to create images almost instantly. Rather than waiting for film to develop, the images are displayed on a computer screen right after the sensors are placed in your mouth. Digital X-rays offer numerous benefits over traditional radiography, including:

  • Faster results: The images are available immediately, saving time during your appointment.
  • Lower radiation: Digital X-rays use up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-ray methods, making them safer for patients.
  • Higher image quality: Digital images are clearer and more detailed, aiding in more accurate diagnoses.
  • Environmentally friendly: No need for film processing chemicals, making this method more sustainable.

An intraoral camera is a small, powerful tool that helps us see every part of your mouth with precision. About the size of a marker, the camera captures high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach areas in your mouth. The benefits include:

  • Visualizing problem areas: We can detect tooth decay, periodontal disease, and even signs of oral cancer early, improving your chances for effective treatment.
  • Improved patient education: With real-time images, you can see exactly where dental issues exist, making it easier to understand your treatment needs.
  • Before-and-after comparison: You can see the difference treatments make, which helps you appreciate the results of your dental care.
  • Insurance documentation: The images can serve as evidence for insurance claims, ensuring you receive the coverage you deserve.

Intraoral cameras allow us to diagnose conditions more accurately and provide a more interactive and informative experience for our patients.

The iTero digital scanner is a remarkable tool that captures highly detailed 3D images of your mouth. This technology plays a crucial role in:

  • Creating accurate dental models: Whether for crowns, implants, or veneers, the iTero scanner helps us craft precise restorations.
  • Orthodontic planning: The iTero scanner is especially useful in orthodontics for planning treatments like braces and clear aligners, allowing us to monitor progress and identify potential issues before they arise.
  • Improving patient comfort: Traditional molds can be uncomfortable and messy. With the iTero scanner, we can capture a perfect digital impression of your teeth without the need for goopy materials.

The BIOLASE Epic X is a state-of-the-art dental diode laser that enhances treatment options in a wide range of dental procedures. Some of its key features include:

  • Versatility: The Epic X is equipped with multiple pre-set procedures and adjustable settings, making it highly adaptable for various treatments, including soft tissue procedures like gum contouring and periodontal care.
  • Pain management: It includes a bio-stimulation handpiece that helps alleviate pain, making certain treatments more comfortable for patients.
  • Whitening: The Epic X also features a whitening handpiece that aids in laser-assisted in-office teeth whitening, providing enhanced results.
  • Precision: The laser allows for more accurate tissue removal with minimal discomfort and faster healing times.

This advanced laser technology enables us to perform procedures more quickly and comfortably while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

We take patient health seriously, which is why we’ve implemented a top-of-the-line Surgically Clean Air filtration system in our office. This six-step filtration process significantly improves air quality by removing harmful bacteria, viruses, mold, and other contaminants from the air. The system includes:

  • Multiple filtration stages: The air passes through several filters designed to eliminate harmful particles, including allergens, bacteria, and viruses.
  • Improved patient comfort: Clean, fresh air creates a more pleasant environment, reducing the risk of airborne illnesses.
  • Enhanced safety: Especially during flu season or times of illness, the Surgically Clean Air system helps ensure a healthier space for both patients and staff.

By maintaining excellent air quality in our office, we help safeguard your health while receiving dental care.
