Orthophos S 3D imaging provides better quality and more detailed images than traditional x-rays. This new technology is also less invasive and emits less radiation than traditional x-ray machines.

Primescan by Dentsply Sirona is a cutting-edge intraoral scanner that delivers exceptional accuracy and speed, ideal for various dental applications like restorative procedures, orthodontics, and patient monitoring. Designed to improve both clinical workflows and patient comfort, it offers seamless integration with dental labs and advanced hygiene features. The scanner can also be paired with the CEREC system for same-day restorations, making it a versatile tool for modern digital dentistry.

CAD/CAM stands for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Milling (CAM). 3D images can be uploaded into special CAD software, allowing the dentist to evaluate the exact details of the appearance and function of the restoration. This software can also help the patient to visualize the end result of the proposed restoration.

Once the design is finalized, the files are sent to the CAM system for fabrication of the restoration to the exact specifications of the design. Use of CAD/CAM technology increases efficiency and accuracy, and can often reduce the overall number of patient visits needed.

Our Periolase soft tissue lasers can be used for various dental and periodontal treatments. By delivering energy in the form of light, these lasers are more efficient, cause less discomfort, promote a faster healing time, and decrease the risk of infection, providing a better outcome.

Our practice uses lasers to improve your experience, allowing us to provide technologically advanced care that is minimally invasive and preferable to conventional surgery. We use Periolase to perform periodontal procedures with no cutting or sutures. This technology can also be used during dental implant disinfection.

Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a very green technology. By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!

Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A specialized light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.

This instrument is employed to accurately measure the length of the root canal, allowing the dentist to assess the file’s placement in relation to the root’s apex. This assists in ensuring the canal is thoroughly cleared of debris, thereby minimizing the likelihood of future issues.
