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 intra-oral 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.


Prophy-Jet Polishers


Traditionally, teeth are polished using a rotating rubber cup and an abrasive paste. Prophy-jet polishing, however, uses an air polishing system with a combination of pressurized water and baking soda to remove more stubborn stains. 


Electronic Apex Locator


This device is used to obtain the proper length of the root canal, from which the doctor can determine the position of the file relative to the apex of the root. This can help ensure that the canal is completely free of debris, reducing potential future complications.


Digital Caries Detection


With this latest technology, a UV light detects cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye. This technology enables dentists to practice minimally invasive dentistry by providing a better possibility of diagnosing this disease at an early stage.


Piezo Electric Handpieces


Are used for periodontal (gum) and osseous (bone) surgery. These handpieces are gently and meticulously used to remove harmful bacteria without requiring invasive measures.


Cone Beam Computed Technology


The use of our Cone Beam Computed Technology (CBCT) is one of the most widely recognized and advanced types of radiographs which allows for a more accurate diagnosis. A CBCT is a 3D scan which uses significantly less radiation to evaluate the bone, nerves, and soft tissue.


FONTONA LASER SYSTEM


Fotona Laser System allows a "no needle, no drill" treatment experience for certain procedures. Fotona's NightLase therapy is a special treatment which enhances the quality of patient's sleep affected by snoring. NightLase therapy reduces the effects of sleep apnea by altering soft tissue. The Fotona Laser System has revolutionized the field of dentistry by providing treatments that are quicker and more efficient with highly predictable outcomes.


Digital Flat Screen Monitors


These monitors are found next to every patient chair. Patients can watch a movie or TV show. Patients can also view their dental radiographs when speaking to the doctor about the findings for a better understanding of their oral health.
