Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology
to enhance patient comfort and to help you get the smile you
deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
 |
Digital x-rays
can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image
directly into a computer monitor. This larger image
helps the patient understand the doctor's explanations
more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage
to this new technology is that it reduces the amount
of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster.
The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear
in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is
friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed
for developing the image. |
In-house lab
CEREC® is a computer-aided
design and ceramic restoration system that allows
us to create permanent restorations in our office.
That means we can design, fabricate, and place an
incredibly esthetic ceramic restoration in a single
visit!

Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us
to simulate cosmetic and other procedures so you
can see the effect on your smile before we start!
We take digital pictures of your teeth and then
use a sophisticated computer simulation program
to create the projected "after" images.

Soft Tissue Laser
Modern lasers are used to cosmetically contour
gums, lengthen crowns
to provide ample structure for restoration, and treat
pockets of infection during gum
treatment.
Lasers are self-sterilizing, provide the maximum
amount of control, and are virtually painless during
the procedure and post-operatively.

Intraoral Camera
|
|
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic
wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside
of your mouth. This allows us to let you see what we
see. |
Multimedia Education
|
|
Our treatment rooms are equipped with
state-of-the-art patient-education DVD systems. If you
are uncertain about a particular procedure, we will
be happy to play the DVD video segment for you. |
Veneers
|
New technology in veneer fabrication
allows us to perform dazzling transformations with
minimal surface preparation.

|
White fillings
|
|
Although white fillings have been around
for a long time, the new materials can now be used in
a wider range of applications allowing you to keep your
smile as white as it can be! |
