Digital X-rays
We use digital X-rays or radiographs in our office to provide us with invaluable information about your oral and dental health. By placing a wireless sensor in your mouth and using high-tech computer software, we are able to generate digital images of your mouth significantly faster than traditional X-rays. Not only are they friendly to the environment, they are much safer than traditional X-rays, reducing your radiation exposure by 90 percent!
CEREC
We are proud to provide CEREC 3-D Technology to our patients in need of crowns and veneers. The CEREC system has revolutionized the dental field by meeting the needs of our patients in a more convenient manner. Gone are the days where the patient must return for multiple visits for a restoration. Using CEREC technology, we can design, fabricate and place a custom ceramic crown or veneer in just one visit!
What are the advantages of CEREC?
CEREC holds several advantages over conventional restoration systems, including:
- Your restoration is started and completed on the same appointment – no wait times, no temporaries, no return visits, no hassle!
- The entire process is usually completed in less than an hour.
- Less need for local anesthetic and fewer shots.
- All CEREC restorations are made from natural-looking, tooth-colored porcelain material that is metal-free, very bio-compatible and plaque-resistant.
- In many cases, healthier tooth structure can be saved since the restoration can be used in place of a full crown.

BIOLASE Laser Treatment
We proudly use BIOLASE laser technology in our office. BIOLASE has developed a variety of dental lasers to enhance patient comfort and improve visibility. The new techniques use laser-energized water to cut the teeth instead of other drilling methods. There is no heat or vibration associated with their laser systems as opposed to regular drilling methods; thus, it may ease the tension from even the most anxious person. The BIOLASE lasers can aid in hard and soft tissue procedures. Ask us for more information about this technology in our office.
