We are proud to offer modern dental technology and techniques to our patients so you can enjoy the most comfortable, efficient, and effective dentistry possible.
Feel free to read on to learn more about the technology we use in our practice.
iTero Digital Scanner
Our iTero Scanner allows patients to see what the dentist sees! A dental wand takes 3D images of your teeth and gums, which removes the need for messy impressions, and the image is shown on a screen chairside. This allows our patients to be more involved in the process of their dental exam. Our doctors use these images to detect cavities, plan treatment, and check your overall oral health. Every new patient who is seen at one of our offices receives an iTero Scan.
TRIOS Scanner
The TRIOS scanner is an intraoral digital scanner that takes photos of your teeth and oral tissue, which are combined to create a digital model instead of a material model created in a lab. These scans can be used to help our doctors create crowns, bridges, dentures, and partials.
Digital X-Rays
Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in a number of ways:
- Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays
- Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair
- Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses
- Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary
- Because no chemicals are needed for developing and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment
Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers allow us to provide incredibly precise treatment with greater comfort, faster healing times, and less risk of bleeding than conventional surgical procedures. Lasers are particularly effective in the treatment of gum disease because they are able to target the damaged and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. Lasers also effectively target bacteria, helping to eliminate infection.
Intraoral Camera
What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health!
Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to clearly see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease.
