Our Technology

room-picLaser Dentistry

Laser therapy is one of dentistry’s latest advances. In the spirit of commitment to the highest level of treatment for our patients, Our doctors have incorporated the DEKA CO2 Cold Laser into their treatment options. This is cutting edge technology that has proven, miraculous results in the treatment of soft tissue, and gum related problems. Lasers deliver energy in the form of light. Depending on the intended result, this energy travels at different wavelengths and is absorbed by a “target.” In dentistry, these targets can be enamel, decay, gum tissue, or whitening enhancers. Each one absorbs a different wavelength of light while reflecting others. Laser dentistry can be used for both tooth and soft tissue related procedures. Often times no local anesthesia is required. For soft tissue (surgical) procedures, it eliminates the need for scalpels and healing is much faster and virtually painless.

Areas of dental care that benefit from laser technology:

  • Curing or hardening bonding materials
  • Whitening teeth
  • Periodontal or gum related care
  • Pediatric procedures
  • Apthous ulcer treatment (canker sore)
  • Frenectomy (tongue-tie release) without anesthesia or sutures
  • Root canals and apiecopectomies
  • Crown lengthening, gingovectomy, and other gum corrections

Dental lasers have been shown to be safe and effective for treating both children and adults.

Digital Imaging

Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Our doctors utilize Digital Imaging Technologies within the office, which means that the exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

The advantages of digital imaging enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.

Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.

Intraoral Camera

The benefits of a dental intraoral camera are that it provides true-to-life visual evidence that aids in the education of patients and assists with making more accurate diagnoses. This camera is easily used and can be easily shared. Most importantly it aids us with more acceptance from your insurance company claims.

Precision Dentistry

When you seek care at our office, you are assured that our doctors and staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.

Many dentists use air-driven “hand-pieces” (the dental term for “drills”). While acceptable for many procedures, these air powered hand pieces all have a degree of non-concentricity; they do not rotate perfectly smoothly.

For the most precise aspects of restorative procedures, we use electric hand-pieces. This results in extraordinarily precise interfaces between your tooth and your new restoration (crown, veneer, or filling). This will bring more comfort to you as well. With a more precise tool, there is less vibration and less noise!
