Why Dental Technology Matters
Modern dental technology helps us:
- Detect issues earlier and more accurately
- Perform procedures with greater precision
- Reduce discomfort during treatments
- Minimize exposure to radiation
- Improve communication with patients
- Create better-fitting restorations and appliances
Whether you’re visiting for a routine exam or advanced procedures like dental implants, our technology makes the experience easier from start to finish.
Our Technology Offerings
1. Laser Dentistry
Laser technology allows us to perform many soft tissue procedures with:
- Less bleeding
- Reduced pain and swelling
- Faster healing times
- Minimal or no anesthesia
We use laser dentistry for treatments like gum contouring, bacterial removal, and some types of gummy smile treatment. It’s ideal for patients seeking gentle, precise care.
2. Advanced Imaging & Diagnostics
We use a suite of imaging tools to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient education:
- 3D CT Scanning / Cone Beam CT (CBCT):
Captures a 360° view of your teeth, jaw, and bone structures—critical for implants and root canal therapy. - Digital X-rays:
Lower radiation exposure and instant results with improved clarity over traditional film. - Panoramic X-rays:
Show your entire mouth in one image, ideal for assessing wisdom teeth, jaw health, and orthodontic planning. - Intraoral Cameras:
Tiny, high-resolution cameras that let you see what we see—helping you better understand your diagnosis and treatment needs. - Nomad X-ray Units:
Handheld, portable X-ray systems that allow for safe and efficient imaging in any room, increasing convenience and flexibility.
Our tech-first approach helps us provide safer, faster, and more effective care every time you visit.
3. Digital Impressions (iTero®)
Say goodbye to messy trays and putty.
With iTero® digital scanning, we capture a precise 3D model of your teeth and bite in just minutes—without discomfort or gagging. These scans are used for:
- Clear aligners
- Crowns and bridges
- Veneers
- Night guards and snore guards
Digital impressions speed up lab turnaround time and reduce errors, ensuring a better fit and more efficient treatment.
