Advanced technology allows for efficient and comfortable care.

Dentistry has evolved in many ways over the past several years and we believe it is important to incorporate all the best advances for our patients. Not only does advanced technology allow us to provide better care, it also makes that care much more comfortable and efficient.
Our Tech
Diagnodent is a laser cavity detector that has replaced the old dental pick. A harmless beam of light locates cavities at early stages to allow less aggressive and less invasive procedures.
Digital X-rays emit 85% less radiation than traditional X-rays. They allow an instant image to appear on a computer screen for improved diagnosis of problems.
This electric handpiece significantly reduces the noise and feel of the old-fashioned drill. It allows for a more comfortable procedure and minimizes unwanted sounds.
Intraoral cameras are used to show a patient the interior of their mouth as an alternative to using a mirror. These cameras allow the patient to see a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, which helps patients have a full understanding of their own dental health.
This handheld camera quickly takes digital snapshots of your teeth that is immediately viewable by you and our team.
More Tech
Relax during your treatment and watch a movie of your choice from Netflix. Watching a movie will help take your mind off your treatment and let you enjoy a comfortable, relaxing procedure.
A soft tissue laser is utilized to re-contour uneven gum tissue, reduce a gummy smile, or even eliminate the pain associated with canker sores or blisters. A soft tissue laser can also be used during dental cleanings by reducing bacteria, inflammation, and bleeding. This valuable tool is a safe and comfortable way to assist in many dental procedures by promoting more precise procedures and quicker recovery times.
Our Hospital-grade sterilization center and stringent sterilization protocols are in place to assure full compliance with all CDC guidelines and recommendations for infection control in the dental office. We take great pride in achieving the highest level of patient safety possible.
Surgical loupes allow for high magnification of your teeth and gums. This enables us to be very precise when we work on your teeth. During exams, this allows our dentists to detect problems while they are still small, and during dental procedures, this allows for greater precision in our work.
