Technology

We want to be able to deliver both the best results and the best experience to our patients. To help us, we’ve incorporated some of the best recent technologies. Here are some of the technologies you can expect to see at our office.

3D Dental CT Scan

CT scans create 3D images of your teeth and jaw. While traditional x-rays are good for many dental treatments, a CT scan improves our ability to plan and execute many complex treatments, such as dental implants and endodontic treatment (root canal therapy). Having a CT scan at our office saves you the trouble of having to seek one out at a different location. Plus, a dental CT scan delivers less radiation than a medical CT scan, and its open design makes it easier for patients who are afraid of being in a confined space.

DIAGNOdent

The sooner we detect a cavity, the better we can treat it. If detected early enough, we might simply adjust your hygiene and/or diet. DIAGNOdent is a tool that can help us detect cavities we might otherwise miss. Using lasers, DIAGNOdent can detect demineralized areas of your teeth, as well as small holes that might lead to larger cavities under the surface.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy is an ideal treatment in minimal intervention dentistry. Ozone treatments can kill cavity- and gum-disease-causing bacteria. It can also neutralize acid to help remineralize your teeth. Because it’s a gas, it can also penetrate into tight spaces to sterilize bacteria that are otherwise hard to reach.

Air Abrasion

We understand that the sound of the dental drill can be stressful for many people. Air abrasion allows us to remove tooth material without a drill. It’s best for dealing with small cavities, white spots from fluorosis, and smoothing rough edges from chipped teeth. But it helps people with anxiety to feel better about their treatment.
