Our treatment rooms are designed to be relaxing, with comfortable patient chairs and a light, natural atmosphere. Patients continually comment on our skyscapes a ceiling panel much like a skylight that shows images of the sky.

Even when it is cold and rainy outside, you can relax under a bright blue sky and count the fluffy clouds that slowly drift by. We also offer Bose noise-canceling headphones so you can enjoy your favorite music, chosen from Pandora, or you can choose to watch a DVD or Netflix while we give you the smile of your dreams.

Technology in Our Office

Our commitment to providing high quality care through the use of technology does not stop at the dentist’s chair. Our office also uses technology to save you time and make planning your specific treatment much more efficient.
We can electronically submit your insurance claims, making the process much faster and more efficient. If your insurance requests copies of X-rays, they can be sent directly with your claim. Technology also allows us to communicate better with other dental specialists that may be involved in your treatment. We can communicate by e-mail, and documents and photos can be viewed while we discuss the specifics of your treatment plan.

Our use of technology saves time for us, saves time for you, and makes planning and receiving your treatment more efficient. We understand that you lead a busy life, and we strive to make the clerical side of your treatment as easy as possible.

Dental Technology

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays replace the old style dental film that you may remember. Digital X-rays use 50% to 80% less radiation

than traditional dental X-rays, making the procedure safer for everyone. Digital X-rays provide clear, two-dimensional images that can be magnified and adjusted in density or contrast in order to get the best view possible of a specific area. Our panoramic digital X-ray takes a photo of your entire mouth in one shot no more readjusting uncomfortable film tabs and time-consuming, multiple photos.

Much like a digital camera, digital X-rays are read by a computer, and can be viewed on a computer screen. They are digitally stored, and can be retrieved on any monitor in our office, even chair side, so we can show you exactly what we see.

Our aim is to offer you the highest quality care with the most comfort. Digital X-ray technology allows us to be more efficient, and helps us to provide you with the best options to meet your specific needs.

CBCT

(Cone Beam Computerized Tomography) is a type of a panoramic 3D x-ray.
This enables us to see teeth and jaw structures in a very detailed 3-dimensional
image. We use it to help diagnose problems that are not readily visible in a
conventional dental x-ray. We also use it to plan the placement of dental
implants. With careful planning of the placement, a surgical guide is then
manufactured which allows precise placement of the implant utilizing minimally
invasive surgery.
Dental Technology

CEREC

This enables us to provide our patients with single visit crowns. After the
tooth is prepared, photos are then taken with a 3D camera. The crown is then
designed on the computer, then manufactured out of a single block of porcelain
in an ultra precise milling unit. After it has been glazed, the crown is bonded onto
the tooth. NO second visit and NO impression.

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras work in the same manner as digital X-rays, but they are able to scope out much finer details of your oral health. A pen-sized, camera tipped wand can be pointed at a specific spot within your mouth, and the image is sent directly to a computer, where it is enlarged for easy viewing. Intraoral cameras provide precise images of even the smallest areas, and help us to determine the treatment that is best for you.

Dental Technology

The Wand

The Wand is an innovative way to reduce the pain of necessary local anesthetic injections. We understand that some patients may experience anxiety at the sight, or even the thought, of a dental syringe. The Wand does not look like a traditional syringe, and it certainly does not feel like one.
Most of the discomfort associated with local dental anesthesia is not from the injection itself, but from the flow of the anesthetic (Novacaine) into the gum tissue. The Wand is a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system. It injects the anesthetic much less painfully by controlling the pressure and flow of the anesthesia as it enters the gum tissue. The Wand can also be positioned more accurately to numb only the specific area needed, to help reduce the uncomfortable puffy feeling that is usually associated with Novacaine. Coupled with a strong topical anesthesia applied to the injection site, you may not even realize that you have received an injection!

The Wand provides our patients with optimum comfort and helps reduce the anxiety some patients may feel. When you are more comfortable, we can treat you more efficiently, insuring maximum results for your treatment.

iTero scanner

Our latest acquisition is the iTero element 5D imaging system. This is an
advanced 3D camera system that allows us to scan a patient’s mouth with a
camera. The camera takes an astonishing 6,000 images per second! It will then
produce a virtual model of your teeth, without taking an impression!! We can
then send this image to Invisalign for production of aligners or a laboratory to
produce a resin model of your teeth. It can also be used to provide you with a
simulation of what your teeth would look like after orthodontic treatment. The
iTero can also be utilized to view the virtual model of your teeth using NIRI (near
infra-red imaging) to detect cavities without using x-ray radiation.
