Better Technology, Better Dental Visits
At our office, advanced dental technology means a more comfortable, efficient, and precise experience for every patient. From digital X-rays and CEREC impressions to computer-guided dental implant surgery, we use the latest innovations to ensure accurate diagnoses, gentle care, and faster results that you’ll feel confident about.
CT/Cone Beam Scanner
Digital X-ray images allow us to see the interior portions of the tooth and those parts of the tooth below the gum line, but they can’t always give us a complete picture of the size and shape of these dental structures. That makes advanced treatments like root canal therapy or orthodontic solutions much more difficult. CT/cone beam scanners give us the ability to see not just the underlying structures of teeth, but to have a three-dimensional image that shows us the size and shape of individual teeth as well as how these structures work together to create a fully functioning smile.
Computer-Guided Dental Implant Surgery
Our computer-guided dental implant surgery utilizes advanced 3D imaging and digital planning to ensure precise, predictable results when it comes to dental implant placement. This technology allows us to place implants with exceptional accuracy while also minimizing the risks of long-term complications.

Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera allows you to see what we see, providing clear, detailed images of your teeth and gums in real time! This advanced technology helps us detect issues early, explain our findings and treatment options more clearly, and ensure you stay informed and confident about your dental health every step of the way.
Digital X-Rays
Traditional X-rays offered our team images of the inner structures of patients’ smiles, but in order to capture these images, we previously needed to expose patients to high levels of radiation and use hazardous chemicals to develop physical images that had to be viewed on a specialized light board. Digital X-rays use as much as 90% less radiation to capture, and they are instantly viewable on our chairside computer monitors. Additionally, these X-rays are higher resolution, and they can be instantly transferred to dental labs, specialists, and insurance providers as necessary, expediting treatment. We can compare areas for concern at each appointment, so we’ll know right away if there are changes.

CEREC Digital Impressions & Same-Day Restorations
Bite impressions are used as part of many cosmetic and restorative dentistry services we offer, including dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and orthodontics. For decades, dentists have relied on physical impressions of teeth captured in a putty-like material to provide the necessary information to create these restorations. However, these impressions had to be shipped to labs where the custom restoration was crafted. This could add as much as a week to treatment time.
Using our state-of-the-art CEREC in-office milling unit, we’re able to capture digital bite impressions that can be used as part of same-day crown restoration with CEREC, and we can decrease treatment time when working with dental labs by immediately sending the digital scans electronically.

Dental Sedation
We offer oral conscious sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and comfortable during all kinds of treatments. This safe and effective option allows you to remain relaxed yet responsive throughout your visit, easing anxiety and making dental care an all-around more positive experience.
