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. |

light-activated process. Click

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.

Micro-dentistry
MicroDentistry means finding decay
as early as possible so that treatment can be done with minimal
removal of natural tooth structure. Restorations ( fillings)
are the smallest possible, esthetically pleasing, and long-lasting.
Prophy Jet
|
An advanced air polishing cleaning technology which
uses air/water/sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
to gently remove stains and dental plaque while
at the same time polishing the teeth.
|
Cavitron Scaler
The cavitron scaler is an ultrasonic instrument used
to remove calculus by vibration and irrigation.
|
|
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. |
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.

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. |
Virtual Reality Glasses
We have Virtual Reality glasses available for longer
procedures so you can watch a movie while you're getting
your dental work done!
|
|
Shade Vision
|
|
The cordless, handheld x-Rite ShadeVision
System uses advanced colorimeter technology to determine
the hue, value, and chroma of teeth. This allows us
to closely match the color of restorations to the surrounding
teeth giving the most natural appearance available. |
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! |
