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. |

Biolase Waterlase MD™ Turbo
 |
Lasers are self-sterilizing, provide the maximum amount of control, and are virtually painless during the procedure and post-operatively.
By reducing the need for anesthetic, multi-quadrant restorations that once entailed multiple appointments can now be completed in a single visit. Waterlase MD Turbo is enabled to handle a wider variety of procedures. So, there is less need to be referred out for treatment, eliminating this source of anxiety.
Modern lasers are used to cosmetically contour gums, lengthen crowns to provide ample structure for restoration, and treat pockets of infection during gum treatment.
Studies show that using the Biolase Waterlaser MD™ is less invasive and less traumatic than the drill or scalpel. |
Ultrasonic Cleaning
| The cavitron is an ultrasonic scaler. Power
scalers do a more thorough job in less time. This
results in significantly decreased scaling time
and healthier, cleaner teeth and gums. Hand scalers
require repetitive scrapping movements and are
restricted to adaptation of only one or two sides
of the instrument. In comparison, all four sides
of a power scaler can be adapted, because the
device moves in an elliptical motion. This comes
in handy when removing stain and deposits from
behind and between the teeth. Ultrasonic scalers
are more effective in removing stain as well.
The ultrasonic vibration helps control oral bacteria
by breaking down the cell wall of the bacteria.
The water used to cool the cavitron then helps
to rinse away bacteria, stain and debris. |

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. |
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system
that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in
the complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces
of teeth. It utilizes laser light of a defined
wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized
tooth substances without x-ray exposure.

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.

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!

Veneers
New technology in veneer fabrication
allows us to perform dazzling transformations with
minimal surface preparation. |

MicroDentistry
MicroDentistry means finding decay as early as possible so that treatment can be done with
minimal removal of natural tooth structure. Restorations
(fillings) are the smallest possible,
esthetically pleasing, and long-lasting.
ViziLite™
| 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. |
