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)
 Dental
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. |
 Laser
Dentistry
The use
of the dental laser now enables us to provide the latest technology
available in dental treatment. The Er.YAG laser is used for
many types of decay removal and most soft tissue surgery.
Lasers
are revolutionizing the way we treat dental disease. They
work by emitting a precise, specialized beam of light that
gently targets and destroys dental decay and removes soft
tissue.
Lasers
provide safe, fast, comfortable and effective treatment for
both hard and soft oral tissues. They eliminate the unpleasant
noises and vibrations of conventional dental treatment. Sometimes
it is necessary to combine conventional procedures with laser
treatment depending on the procedure and technical difficulty
involved.
Lasers
promote faster healing and little or no post surgical discomfort,
especially with frenectomies and gingival (gum) surgery.
Lasers
sterilize the treatment area.
Laser
treatment sometimes requires little or no numbing.
Lasers
are gentler to the oral tissues then conventional methods
of treatment.
Laser
Bleaching
Our
office uses an advanced laser-activated procedure that is
only available from your dentist.

Micro-dentistry
& Air Abrasion
Micro-dentistry
is a new, alternative way to treat decay in teeth. Using air
abrasion, we remove as little of the natural tooth as possible
while removing all of the decay. With the advent of our new
bonding techniques, decay indicating dyes, magnification,
fiber-optic lights and white filling materials, decay can
be conservatively removed from a tooth and a filling placed
that will restore a tooth to its original strength and beauty.

 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.

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.

 Multimedia
Education
Our treatment areas and our waiting room are equipped with
state-of-the-art patient-education DVD systems. If you are
uncertain about a particular procedure, we will be happy to
play the DVD video segment for you.
