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:

Digital impressions speed up lab turnaround time and reduce errors, ensuring a better fit and more efficient treatment.

FAQs

Is laser dentistry safe?

Yes. Laser dental tools are FDA-approved and safe when used by trained professionals. They reduce trauma to soft tissues and often eliminate the need for stitches.

Are digital X-rays really better than traditional ones?

Absolutely. Digital X-rays offer better image clarity, emit up to 90% less radiation, and provide instant results.

What is a CBCT scan used for?

Cone Beam CT scans create a 3D image of your mouth and jaw. They’re essential for placing implants, diagnosing complex issues, or planning surgical procedures.

Do I still need impressions for crowns or aligners?

Not with us! We use iTero® digital impressions, which are cleaner, faster, and more accurate than traditional molds.

Does all this tech cost more?

No. In most cases, dental technology helps reduce the need for extra appointments, lab errors, or complications—saving you time and money in the long run.
