Digital X-Ray
Digital X-rays are images that are taken digitally and loaded into a computer file especially for a specific patient. The advantages of digital x-rays include exposure to lower radiation (only 10% of the radiation of traditional x-rays). They can also be enlarged to the full size of a computer screen, allowing the doctor to have improved viewing ability for analysis and diagnosis.
Intra-Oral Camera
Intraoral cameras are tiny digital cameras that fit comfortably in your mouth and enable your dentist to show you an enlarged image of your smile on a computer screen. Not only does this help during diagnosis with clearly defined images that show details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations, it can also be an educational tool, allowing you see the inside of your mouth and confront problems or review procedures as they progress.
Diagnodent
Our office is proud to use Diagnodent, a laser detection system that has the ability to detect hidden decay under seemingly intact tooth structure. The Diagnodent scans the area with a laser light that is harmless. The laser detects the hidden decay and grades it using a numeric scale, allowing our team to diagnose the proper treatment necessary to prevent further decay. The Diagnodent is a small, portable unit, safe for the patient, and unparralleled in accuracy.
Cerec Crowns
Your time is valuable, so to make dentistry as convenient as possible, we offer CEREC Technology. CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, allows us to create and place a custom-designed restoration -- a crown, onlay or veneer -- in only one appointment in our office. Typically, such a procedure requires two separate visits with several weeks between the two. CEREC takes a digital image of your tooth and then carves a custom restoration in just a few minutes. It is then placed, restoring your smile to health, comfort and a natural appearance.
Laser Dentistry
You deserve the most advanced dentistry available for your comfort and ease – laser dentistry. The Waterlase combines laser energy with a spray of water to comfortably perform a range of dental procedures on teeth, gum and bone. The Waterlase is used in all aspects of dentistry: preventive care, restorative care and cosmetic enhancements. Requiring fewer shots and less anesthesia and replacing the drill in many cases, lasers greatly improve comfort, reduce anxiety and enhance preventive care.
Brite Smile
Over time, teeth naturally loose their bright, white brilliance. If you smoke or drink coffee, tea or red wine, the staining can be even more dramatic. The BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening treatment can comfortably, effectively and safely brighten your smile up to 10 shades brighter in only one hour. Offering the most advanced technology to whiten teeth and enhance appearance and aesthetics, BriteSmile uses a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel activated by a plasma-arc light.
