Ceramic crowns

Also known as all-porcelain crowns, these caps are just as durable as crowns with a metal sub-structure. However, ceramic crowns look more natural and are safer for you and the environment because they are mercury-free.

Digital x-rays

Dentists have long since relied upon x-rays for diagnostic purposes and to get an inside view between teeth and under the gum line, which is an essential part of treating or managing your oral health. But digital x-rays develop quicker and produce much less radiation than traditional x-rays that you may have seen in outdated practices.

Cone Beam Technology

A cone beam is a special type of x-ray that produces 3D images that are more thorough and precise than standard digital x-rays. Using this machine, we can also capture images of your jaw joints, facial bones, ears, and neck, which can be helpful in diagnosing or discovering serious dental issues or even oral cancer and masses.

Intraoral cameras

Using a tiny handheld wand, an intraoral camera is used to scan the inside of your mouth. We can use these images to show you a close-up view of your oral health so that you can see why we recommend specific treatments. Additionally, these scans may be used to make certain types of restorations.

Oral cancer screenings

Oral cancer can affect anyone, and the life expectancy, if caught early, is favorable. Unfortunately, oral cancer may not produce noticeable signs or symptoms until its later stages, which could lessen the life expectancy and the effectiveness of treatment. However, our oral cancer screenings mean that we can catch the disease as soon as it starts. We provide oral cancer screenings to every adult patient at least once a year during their oral exam and checkup.

Patient education

We share the responsibility for helping our patients maintain a beautiful, healthy smile, which is why we provide patient education to help you fully understand your smile needs and why preventive care is important for your health. We can also make recommendations on the best oral care products for you, whether you have sensitive teeth or battle chronic bad breath. Our highly educated dental care team can help ensure you understand the importance of receiving adequate nutrition to help promote better oral health.

Telescopic loupes

The dentist will often wear these magnifying glasses during treatments and exams. These handy devices allow us to see your teeth up close. With enhanced visualization, we can see problems with your teeth better so that we provide the best results.

Our technology doesn’t stop on our clinician side of the office. We also use up-to-date technology in our admin office to speed up your check-in and check-out process, make filing insurance claims easier and quicker and send auto-appointment reminders to you via text message so that you never have to worry about maintaining your personal calendar.

It allows dentists to capture a complete 3D model of the patient’s mouth within minutes, reducing chair time and improving overall efficiency. the iTero Scanner offers a more comfortable, efficient, and accurate alternative to traditional dental impressions, enhancing the patient experience and enabling precise treatment planning and delivery in various dental procedures.
