Aiding in Treatment Planning

We use dental technology to inform treatment planning and make your dental appointments run smoothly. Our equipment includes digital scanners and monitors in our treatment rooms, which allow us to show you any issues in your mouth and walk you through your treatment plan.

This means that you can have a clear understanding of what's going on in your mouth and what steps need to be taken to address any problems.

We believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions about their oral health, which is why we try and make patient education a priority. By using dental technology, we can provide more accurate diagnoses and treatments, while also making the process more comfortable for our patients.

Whether you need a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, we are committed to providing you with the highest level of care possible.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays use digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. They produce highly detailed computer images of the teeth and gums, as well as other oral structures and conditions, allowing your dentist to examine parts of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.

Dental Lasers

In dentistry, lasers (focused light beams) can be used in a variety of soft procedures. They allow our dentists to perform dental procedures with less pain and fewer medical interventions.  Our dentists use lasers to remove overgrown or decayed tissue, to reshape the gums, or to harden dental restorations.

Intraoral Scanners

Intraoral scanners create digital dental impressions, an ideal alternative to traditional dental impressions which can be messy and time-consuming. Your dentist simply uses an optical scanning wand to take a digital image of your teeth within minutes. This device allows your dentist to capture accurate data to create digital replicas of the hard and soft tissues of your mouth.

VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening Device

VELscope® is an oral cancer screening device that helps the dentist identify abnormalities and diseases in the mouth, such as cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. Using fluorescence visualization technology, it can be performed in your dentist’s office during routine exams and under normal lighting conditions, usualy in about two minutes.
