Our Advanced Technology Services
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography offers faster, safer imaging with up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. These high-resolution images allow our dentists to detect decay, infections, and bone loss with greater clarity. Digital files are stored securely and can be easily shared with specialists when needed.
Intraoral Cameras
With our intraoral cameras, you can see what we see. These pen-sized devices capture detailed images inside your mouth, allowing our team to show you areas of concern in real time. It’s a powerful educational tool that enhances understanding and supports better decision-making.
CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
Need a crown but don’t want to wait? With CEREC® same-day crown technology, we can design, create, and place your crown in a single visit—no temporary crown, no second appointment. Using 3D imaging and in-office milling, we create custom ceramic restorations while you wait.
This technology supports faster treatment for services like:
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology allows for minimally invasive treatment of gum disease, soft tissue reshaping, and even oral cancer screenings. With laser dentistry, many procedures involve:
- Less bleeding
- Reduced discomfort
- Shorter healing times
- Lower risk of infection
This is especially beneficial for procedures in our periodontics services, including crown lengthening and bone grafting.
3D Imaging and CBCT
Our cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner provides 3D views of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerves. This is essential for planning:
- Dental implants
- Tooth extractions
- TMJ analysis and TMD therapy
With 3D imaging, we can make more informed treatment decisions and ensure precise outcomes.
Digital Impressions
Say goodbye to messy impression trays. Digital impressions use intraoral scanning technology to capture a highly accurate model of your teeth and bite—no goo required. This technology improves the fit of:
Digital impressions also speed up turnaround times and reduce the need for retakes.
