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.
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.
In-house lab
CEREC® is a computer-aided
design and ceramic restoration system that allows
us to create permanent restorations in our office.
That means we can design, fabricate, and place an
incredibly esthetic ceramic restoration in a single
visit!
CEREC® is a registered trademark
of Sirona Dental Systems.
OralCDx
OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection,
a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the
prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the
last 50 years.
OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system.
It allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect
oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.
Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars”
missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes
a neural network-based image processing system specifically
adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy
samples.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
The Piezo Scaler 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 helps to rinse away
bacteria, stain and debris. Our Piezo can also administer
medicaments to aid in gum treatment and desensitization.

Voice-activated Charting Software
This system connects a computer database
to a voice-activated headset so we can quickly, easily,
and accurately record individual measurements when performing
a periodontal exam.
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!
