Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient
comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
| Digital x-rays can now be
taken using sensors that transmit the image directly into a computer
monitor. This larger image helps the patient understand the doctor's
explanations more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to this
new technology is that it reduces the amount of radiation by 90%.
Digital x-rays are also faster. The digital image only takes a minute
or two to appear in the monitor. In addition, this new technology
is friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed for
developing the image. |

Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us to simulate cosmetic and other
procedures so you can see the effect on your smile before we start!
We take digital pictures of your teeth and then use a sophisticated
computer simulation program to create the projected "after"
images. On cosmetic patients, we complete the 20 picture series
recommended by the AACD.

Prophy Jet
An advanced air polishing cleaning technology which uses air/water/sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) to gently remove stains and dental plaque
while at the same time polishing the teeth.

|
| Used in conjunction with a conventional visual examination,
the ViziLite™ test improves identification, evaluation and
monitoring of abnormalities in those at increased risk for oral
cancer. The ViziLite™ Test Kit includes a handheld disposable
light and mouth rinse that work together to help detect abnormalities
that might not be visible to the unaided eye. |

Intraoral Camera
|
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic wand
to easily take vivid photographs of the inside of your mouth.
This allows us to let you see what we see.

 |
Veneers
|
New technology in veneer fabrication allows us
to perform dazzling transformations with minimal surface preparation.
|
|
White fillings
|
Although white fillings have been around for a
long time, the new materials can now be used in a wider range
of applications allowing you to keep your smile as white as it
can be!
