Technology

We are proud to offer modern dental technology and techniques to our patients so you can enjoy the most comfortable, efficient, and effective dentistry possible;

Feel free to read on to learn more about the technology we use in our practice.

Digital X-Rays

Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in a number of ways: 

  • Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays
  • Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair
  • Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses
  • Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary

Because no chemicals are needed for developing and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment

Intraoral Cameras

What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health! 

Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to clearly see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease.

3D Intraoral Scanner

Our office uses cutting-edge 3D intraoral scanning technology to take highly accurate digital impressions—quickly and comfortably

Using a small, handheld wand, we capture detailed digital images of your teeth and bite in real time. These images are compiled into a precise 3D model that can be used for crowns, bridges, clear aligners, night guards, and more—all without the discomfort or gag reflex often associated with traditional impressions.

3D intraoral scanning improves accuracy, patient comfort, and turnaround time, allowing for better-fitting restorations and more streamlined treatment planning. It allows for 3 dimensional evaluation of your mouth and can be seen right before your eyes.  It’s just one more way we’re making your dental experience smarter and more efficient.
