Digital X-Rays

Our digital x-ray technology allows us to take snapshots of your teeth and jaw to create a full set of highly accurate images. This process minimizes your exposure to x-ray radiation while providing clear images that are immediately available for viewing on our monitors. With these precise images, our dentist can quickly identify cavities, cracks and other issues. He can even show you where the problems are, which allow you to make more informed decisions about your oral health.

CEREC Technology

We are proud to offer CEREC technology to create same day crowns, giving patients their smiles back sooner. Before CEREC, patients would need to take impressions, which would be sent out to an offsite laboratory. These labs would take weeks to create a single crown. Patients would have to wear ill-fitting, temporary crowns and come back for a second appointment to have their permanent crowns placed.

Now, we can scan your mouth, upload the images to a 3D CAD program, and have the crown milled right in our office. There’s no need for impressions, temporaries, or waiting. Getting a crown has never been easier.

Early Detection Scans

When it comes to your oral health, early detection is everything. That’s why we only trust the best imaging and sensing technology to help us find and diagnose potential issues. To detect early signs of oral cancer, we use VELscope technology. It uses a special spectrum of LED, illuminating even the smallest abnormalities. Similar to the VELscope, we use DIAGNOdent equipment to reveal minor imperfections, such as cracks and pits in teeth. Let us stop oral and dental issues in their tracks, and keep your mouth healthy.

Laser Surgery

Did you know, that high-powered lasers are a fantastic option for dental surgery? It’s actually a less-invasive form of dental surgery. And depending on the case, we use special pulsing lasers to remove dead and dying tissues, and even prep teeth for extraction.

Smile Design Software

Are you feeling self-conscious about your smile? If you’ve been thinking about cosmetic dentistry, exploring your potential treatment options is simple with our Smile Design Software. From veneers and dental bonding to teeth whitening and laser treatments, you’ll be able to try out a new smile virtually.

Why Smile Design Software? A picture is worth a thousand words! We understand that it can be intimidating to make the decision to get cosmetic treatment (especially one that will make a big change!). That is why we offer our patients the option to use our simulation before committing to a cosmetic treatment.

Smile Design Software is a type of cosmetic simulation software that allows you to get an accurate representation of what your smile will look like after undergoing cosmetic treatments. We’ll simply take a photo of you using a camera, upload it to our software, and create a virtual mockup of your beautiful new smile. Once you see what your results will look like, we know you’ll feel confident and excited to begin.
