Advanced Dental Technology

Digital X-Rays

X-rays are essential to helping us spot dental problems even before they are visible to the naked eye, and to make this tool faster and safer for our patients, we’ve gone completely digital. Compared to traditional film-based X-rays, digital X-rays can create highly-detailed images in just a fraction of the time, they don’t require toxic chemicals to be developed, and they also emit up to 80% LESS radiation. Plus, we can quickly display them on a nearby monitor for you to go over and better understand with your dentist.

Digital Imaging

Digital imaging allows us to show you the potential results of specific treatments before you commit to them. It an extremely helpful resource for patients considering restorative or cosmetic dentistry.

Digital Photography

Along with digital X-rays and imaging, we use photography to help document and treat patients. Why? Because the more information we have to work with means better options, and ultimately, better results for our patients. Photography allows our patients to be informed and active participants in their dental health care. We review your photos so you can see what we see. A well informed patient is our optimal goal.

Intraoral Camera

Our intraoral camera finally gives you the ability to see your smile from your dentist’s point-of-view. This small, pen-sized device is tipped with a high-resolution camera, which can easily fit into the mouth to capture images we can instantly show you on a chairside monitor. This will turn your appointments into a fun and interactive experience, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your oral health so you can become a more active participant in your dental care.

Soft Tissue Laser

Lasers have come to dentistry! In truth, dentists around the world have been using lasers in one form or another since the mid-90’s to perform a wide variety of dental procedures more efficiently than ever. In our office, we can use our soft tissue laser to eliminate bacteria hidden deep beneath the gum line, painlessly remove infected tissue, and even provide quick and beautifying gum lifts. No matter what it’s used for, the experience is always quick, comfortable, and delivers reliable results.

NTI-tss

Does it seem like you’ve tried everything to get rid of your headaches with no results? Have you been told you need a nightguard because you grind or clench your teeth?

The NTI-tss is a revolutionary, drug-free device that prevents the problem behind the headaches – chronic teeth grinding. With NTI-tss, you can say goodbye to tension headaches and hello to a healthier smile!

Originally designed for migraine sufferers who were looking for a drug-free alternative therapy, the NTI-tss device is an FDA approved dental device. We use it instead of the big bulky nightguards that don’t really stop your grinding or clenching habit. Why have a piece of plastic in your mouth that you can just grind through? The NTI is designed to PREVENT grinding.
