Technology

Digital x-rays and sensors offer a safe, efficient, and convenient way to examine your teeth and surrounding structures. This technology produces less radiation than traditional x-rays and provides instant images, facilitating faster diagnosis and treatment.

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) provides a three-dimensional view of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. It helps us precisely plan for dental implant placement, orthodontic treatment, and other procedures.

Gone are the days of goopy traditional impressions. Instead, we use digital impression technology, which captures a highly accurate and comprehensive 3-D image of your teeth and gums. This makes the procedure more comfortable for patients and allows for precise restorations.

Intraoral cameras are small, pen-like devices that capture high-resolution images of your mouth. They allow us to show you what we see during your dental examination, which gives patients a better understanding of their oral health.

Panoramic x-rays offer a broad view of your entire mouth, including teeth, jaws, and sinuses. We use this technology for planning orthodontic treatment, viewing the position of wisdom teeth, and more.

CEREC stands for "Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics." It's a technology that allows us to create custom, high-quality dental restorations in just one visit to our dental office. We use CEREC to create crowns and veneers with the perfect fit, so patients don't have to wait for temporary restorations or come in for multiple appointments. 

Cephalometric (Ceph) x-rays take side-view images of the face, showing the teeth, jaw, and soft tissues. We use this technology to diagnose misalignment issues, plan for orthodontics, and monitor the treatment process. 

A diode laser in dentistry is a versatile tool used for various soft tissue procedures. Its applications include reshaping or removing excess gum tissue (gingivectomy and gingivoplasty), correcting issues with the frenulum such as tongue-tie (frenectomy), and treating gum disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria (periodontal therapy). Additionally, diode lasers are used to activate bleaching agents for cosmetic teeth whitening, excise oral lesions for diagnostic purposes (biopsy and lesion removal), control bleeding during dental procedures (hemostasis), treat TMJ disorders, and enhance the cleaning of root canals (root canal disinfection). Dentists value diode lasers for their precision, minimal discomfort, reduced need for anesthesia, and faster healing times compared to traditional methods.
