With panoramic X-rays, your dentist can easily look for problems such as bone abnormalities and fractures, cysts, impacted teeth, infections, and tumors. This dental technology is a much faster and simpler process than traditional X-rays. Also, the panoramic technique requires fewer steps compared to traditional dental X-rays, and hence makes patients feel more comfortable during the procedure and provides improved patient care.

Digital impressions, also known as 3D intraoral scans, are used to capture a replica of the mouth creating a digital image of a patient’s hard and soft tissue in their mouth. Digital impressions are more accurate than taking molds of the mouth and much more comfortable for the patient as well. With traditional molds, patients have to hold down on goopy mold for several minutes which can be difficult for patients with severe gag reflexes or difficulty breathing through their nose. Thankfully, the new dental technology of digital impressions is making traditional molds a thing of the past and patients can easily receive the high-quality care they need.

Millennium Laser LANAP:
An FDA-cleared laser treatment called the LANAP protocol offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery. LANAP=LAR is the only scientifically, research-proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachment. The LANAP=LAR treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, and allow the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

Fotona Lightwalker Laser:
Dental implant-supported teeth and dentures are often a good way to help replace your teeth, but since they are simultaneously in the jaw bone and pass through the gum line into the mouth, they are susceptible to bacterial infections just like your teeth were.

Our lasers can improve the treatment of bacterial infections around teeth and implants. The latest and best strategy is using the Erbium laser to clean and disinfect the surfaces of the implants without damaging the surface of the implant as other mechanical treatments do. The doctors chose the “LightWalker” laser by Fotona because it combines the Erbium laser with the Nd/Yag properties to treat hard and soft tissues.

An intraoral camera allows us to view clear, precise images of your teeth and gums. The images from the intraoral camera allow us to make a more accurate diagnosis and develop a better treatment plan for each patient. A faster, more accurate diagnosis means less chair time for you! The intraoral camera also allows you to see everything we see!

If you are fearful of injections you will be happy to hear that we use the DentalVibe® Injection Comfort System which dramatically reduces the pain of injections. DentalVibe® is a cordless, hand-held device that delivers soothing, pulsed percussive micro-oscillations to the injection site. VibraPulse® technology gently stimulates the sensory receptors where the injection is being administered.
