Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance
patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!
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. |
MicroDentistry
MicroDentistry means finding decay
as early as possible so that treatment can be done with
minimal removal of natural tooth structure. Restorations
(fillings) are the smallest possible,
esthetically pleasing, and long-lasting.
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.

Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us to simulate cosmetic
and other procedures so you can see the effect on
your smile before we start! We take digital pictures
of your teeth and then use a sophisticated computer
simulation program to create the projected "after"
images.

Soft Tissue Laser
Modern lasers are used to cosmetically contour
gums, lengthen crowns
to provide ample structure for restoration, and treat
pockets of infection during gum
treatment.
Lasers are self-sterilizing, provide the maximum
amount of control, and are virtually painless during
the procedure and post-operatively.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
| The cavitron 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 used to cool the cavitron
then helps to rinse away bacteria, stain and debris. |

ShadeVision System
|
|
The cordless, handheld x-Rite ShadeVision
System uses advanced colorimeter technology to determine
the hue, value, and chroma of teeth. This allows us
to closely match the color of restorations to the surrounding
teeth giving the most natural appearance available. |
Multimedia Education
|
|
Our treatment rooms 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. |
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! |
