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)
Dental
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.
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.
OralCDx
OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection, a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the last 50 years.
OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.
Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars” missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes a neural network-based image processing system specifically adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy samples.
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized tooth substances without x-ray exposure.
Air Abrasion
Air
Abrasion is a gentle spray of an air and powder that gently sprays away tooth
decay. There is no heat, vibration or sound, like there is from a drill. The
procedure is relatively painless, therefore not always requiring an injection.
Air abrasion is a very precise technology and usually removes less tooth structure
for a filling than a drill would.
For In-Office bleaching, we utilize the advanced Rembrandt light-activated process. Click here to learn more about:
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 areas and our waiting room 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.
