CT/ Cone Beam Scanner

When placing dental implants, preparing for root canal treatment, or planning another form of complex care, we use our CT/Cone Beam Scanner. With a rotating arm that captures various images of your head, neck, and mouth, it forms a 3D model that we can use to ensure accuracy, precision, and successful results, no matter the type of procedure that is required.

Intraoral Camera

Using an intraoral camera allows our dentists to take a more detailed look at your teeth and gums. Not only does this handheld scanning device pinpoint the smallest areas of decay, but it also serves to educate patients like yourself about what is happening inside your mouth by projecting real-time images on a chairside monitor. It eliminates the uncertainty many patients face while undergoing a dental checkup.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Traditional radiographs emitted high levels of radiation and took up much of a patient’s appointment, as they required ample development time. With advancements in dental technology, though, digital X-rays now allow us to take images of your mouth above and below the gum line that are ready in just seconds. With higher-resolution scans, our dentists can see greater details that allow for more accurate treatment planning.

Digital Dental Impression System

When a custom restoration is required to protect a vulnerable tooth, we no longer turn to traditional dental putty. Instead, we use our iTero digital impression system. Scanning your teeth and gums, the device produces a three-dimensional model on a chairside monitor that allows us to make adjustments before sending it off to lab technicians to start the fabrication process.

Soft Tissue Laser

When targeting harmful bacteria that cause gum disease, we employ our LANAP Millenium soft tissue dental laser. When placed between the gums and teeth, the laser’s pinpoint precision kills the infection by only removing the diseased tissue that exists within the gum pocket. Its use also makes it easier for plaque deposits to be removed from the roots of teeth, encouraging proper gum reattachment and healing.

L-PRF Platelet Therapy

Should you require any type of dental procedure, our dentists can use L-PRF Platelet Therapy (Leukocyte – Platelet Rich Fibrin). This holistic approach to dentistry is FDA-approved and promotes faster healing and bone growth. As a fully biocompatible solution, we will use your blood and extract the platelets before injecting them into the treated areas. As a result, you will require less time in recovery.

DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection System

This system makes it possible for us to find cavities during their earliest stages. Consisting of laser fluorescence, the DIAGNOdent device lights up problem areas on teeth, specifically dental decay. Completely safe and reliable to use, this innovative technology makes it possible for us to administer appropriate treatment before the bacteria has a chance to spread.

Piezosurgery

Piezosurgery is commonly performed when placing dental implants, administering gum disease treatment, or performing tooth extractions. Being mindful of your soft oral tissues, we will cut the bone using ultrasonic micro-vibrations. This allows for more accurate results because of the increased precision as well as improved comfort and reduced healing time.
