Our office employs many types of new technology. These technologies benefit the patient by offering improved diagnosis and care.
Lasers
The use of lasers in dentistry has brought about many great advancements. Lasers allow for procedures that are less painful, reduce the amount of tissue loss, and provide a reduction in bleeding. Some procedures can be performed without the use of a drill or the need for a shot thanks to laser technology. Our practice uses lasers to improve your experience in our practice allowing us to provide technologically advanced care.

Digital X-ray
Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a very green technology. By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!
Digital Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera combines the latest video technologies with dental care. Both the patient and dentist can see detailed images of the teeth and mouth in real time. With an intraoral camera, you are able to better understand what is happening in your mouth and review the status of your oral health.
Velscope Oral Cancer Detection
Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A UV light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.
