Our office uses modern,
state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient comfort and to help you get
the smile you deserve!
Computer
Digital Radiography (CDR)
Dental
x-rays can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image directly
into a computer monitor. This larger image helps the patient understand
the doctor's explanations more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom
in" on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to this
new technology is that it reduces the amount of radiation by 90%. Digital
x-rays are also faster. The digital image only takes a minute or two to
appear in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is friendly to the
environment since no chemicals are needed for developing the image.
Soft
Tissue Laser
 |
A soft
tissue laser uses the power of light to vaporize oral soft tissues with
UNMATCHED PRECISION. The Odyssey vaporizes and modifies soft tissue
without bleeding and usually without injected anesthetics. Lasers are
the most precise, least traumatic, and will heal with less post-operative
pain than any other technique. |
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a
new high tech laser system that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the
complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes laser light
of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized tooth
substances without x-ray exposure.
Cavitron
Scalers
 |
The
cavitron scaler is an ultrasonic instrument used to remove calculus
by vibration and irrigation. |
Prophy-Jet
|
Prophy-Jet is
an air polishing system which uses air/water/sodium bicarbonate slurry
to remove extrinsic stain, dental plaque and soft debris while, at
the same time polishing tooth surfaces.
This is highly
effective on patients wearing orthodontic appliances. It is also a
nice way to remove tarnish from silver fillings adding life and luster.
Sodium bicarbonate
is accepted by most patients and is both minimally abrasive and water-soluble.
Air polishing
leaves the teeth smoother, cleaner, and whiter.
