Panorex:
Our panoramic machine allows us to take specialized x-rays of the jaw and head necessary for surgical cases, implants, wisdom teeth extractions, and orthodontic cases. This type of radiograph is crucial for our doctors to accurately diagnose and safely treat your specific needs.
Hard/Soft Tissue Laser:
Our dental laser can provide treatment of decay and gum problems in many cases without anesthesia. We use this routinely for many types of cavities, filling replacements, gum infections, and even bone treatments. The greatest advantage is it safety and in many cases, can be done with no shots! The laser also sterilizes the tooth as it removes decay. This is important because it is generally decay under old fillings that can lead to root canals. http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/laser/
Soft Tissue Laser:
This state of the art technology allows us to treat advanced gum disease without scalpels like traditional gum flap surgery or weeks of postoperative recovery. Minimal discomfort, faster recovery, improved results, and minimized chance of infection are the biggest advantages of this laser. It works by specifically targeting diseased gum tissue and bacteria within the gum pocket, thereby promoting a healthy environment for tissue healing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LANAP
Intra-oral Camera:
This is a great educational tool because it shows magnified images of your teeth and gums. It is immediately projected on to a monitor in front of you so you can see exactly what we are diagnosing. This helps to clear any confusion about pain or infection and the recommended treatment. We are also able to save the images in your personal file. It takes only seconds and there’s no radiation or discomfort.
Digital X-rays:
With only a fraction of the radiation exposure of even the fastest film x-rays, digital x-rays are safer for everyone in the office. harmful chemicals are no longer necessary, and neither is wasted developing time. Patients can have their teeth radiographed and interpreted in under five minutes. Another big advantage with digital x-rays is the clarity of the image which doctors can magnify and manipulate to make certain that your diagnosis is as accurate as possible. http://www.dentistry.com/articles/Dental_X-Rays_and_Digital_Technology.aspx
Models and Sample Prosthesis:
Our doctors routinely use actual models and sample cases to help our patients choose the best treatment option for them. No more guessing games with your dentistry. We even have before and after photos of our own similar patient cases to help you envision your results.
