Intraoral Cameras

Have you ever wondered what exactly your dentist is seeing as they peer into your mouth? With the help of a modern intraoral camera, it’s easier than ever for patients to get an up-close-and-personal look at their own oral health. The process is simple – one of our team members will navigate a camera-tipped wand around the teeth and gums, transmitting highly-detailed images to a monitor in the treatment room. These images can then be referred to by our dentists as they discuss their findings with you as well as potential services that could help remedy any damage or decay. Our goal is to help you feel like a full partner in the oral healthcare process!

Digital Dental X-Rays

X-rays may be taken during your first visit for one or several reasons. The goal of X-rays is to inform you and your dentist of the condition of your teeth, roots, gums, and jawbone. Some of the things that the X-rays will help identify are any possible bone loss, tooth decay, or tumors. Being able to see and know the condition, shape, and position of your roots and teeth will also be helpful.

CEREC® Digital Restoration System

Impressions are a vital part of the restorative process, whether we’re creating a single dental crown or a bridge for tooth replacement. Traditional impression techniques were time-consuming and sometimes uncomfortable, but CEREC technology has helped revolutionize this process for the better! Now, creating a highly detailed digital replica of the teeth only requires a quick scan. From this accurate virtual model, the Cerec milling machine can, in just a few minutes, produce a beautiful ceramic restoration, whether it is a crown or onlay, or even a bridge or crown to fit over an implant. The final result can then be permanently bonded to your teeth during this one-visit process; instead of requiring a temporary restoration and additional visit after waiting for the permanent restoration to be made.

CT/Cone Beam Scanner

When needing an in-depth look at a patient’s oral and facial structures, we turn to our CT/Cone Beam Scanner. Uniquely designed to capture high-resolution images that come together to form a single three-dimensional image, our team of dental experts can carefully craft treatment plans that ensure optimal dental implant placement, root canal treatment, and more. Instead of relying solely on digital X-rays, this device goes a step further to create optimal accuracy and precision when planning some of the most complex procedures.

Soft Tissue Laser

Our soft tissue laser makes treatments involving the gums easier and more comfortable than ever before! The focused beam can treat and eliminate diseased tissue conservatively, minimizing post-operative symptoms like bleeding and swelling along the way. Most of our patients feel so at ease throughout the care process that they don’t even need local anesthesia. In addition to periodontal disease treatment, this type of laser can also be used for aesthetic gum recontouring.
