Our Technology
Full CT Scan
A full CT scan provides a comprehensive view of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. Using advanced technology, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a full CT scan captures high-resolution 3D images, allowing dental professionals to assess and diagnose various dental conditions accurately. This non-invasive procedure provides detailed information about the positioning of teeth, bone density, nerve pathways, and potential abnormalities, aiding in the planning and execution of complex dental treatments, including dental implant placement, orthodontic evaluations, and oral surgeries. A full CT scan enables precise treatment planning, improves diagnostic accuracy, and enhances overall patient care by offering a thorough understanding of a patient’s oral health.
Digital Scanner
A digital scanner utilizes advanced digital scanning technology to capture detailed and accurate impressions of a patient’s teeth and oral structures. By replacing traditional messy and uncomfortable impression materials, digital scanners offer patients a more comfortable and efficient experience. These scanners use lasers or optical sensors to capture highly precise 3D images of the teeth and gums, which are then converted into digital models that can be easily manipulated and analyzed. The digital data can be quickly shared with dental laboratories to fabricate custom restorations, such as crowns or aligners, resulting in faster turnaround times and improved treatment outcomes. With its convenience, accuracy, and enhanced patient experience, a digital scanner revolutionizes the dental workflow and provides superior diagnostic and treatment capabilities.
IV Sedation
Our office specializes in providing patients with a safe and comfortable experience by administering sedative medication intravenously. IV sedation, also known as conscious sedation, allows individuals with dental anxiety, phobia, or extensive dental procedures to undergo treatment in a relaxed and calm state. The sedative medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream, enabling the dental team to carefully monitor and adjust the level of sedation throughout the procedure. This type of sedation induces deep relaxation, often resulting in a diminished awareness of the dental treatment. IV sedation alleviates anxiety and helps manage pain and discomfort, ensuring a positive and stress-free dental experience. With the support of IV sedation, patients can receive necessary dental care with reduced anxiety, increased comfort, and improved cooperation, leading to more successful outcomes and improved oral health.
Diode Lasers
A diode laser incorporates advanced laser technology into various dental procedures. Diode lasers are versatile tools that emit a focused and precise beam of light, which can be used for a wide range of applications in dentistry. These lasers are commonly used for soft tissue procedures, such as gum contouring, periodontal therapy, frenectomies, and crown lengthening. The diode laser’s energy can efficiently remove or reshape soft tissue while simultaneously cauterizing blood vessels, minimizing bleeding, and reducing the need for sutures. Additionally, diode lasers can be used for pain relief, disinfection of root canals, and treating oral lesions. With their precision, minimal invasiveness, and improved healing time, diode lasers enhance patients’ and practitioners’ overall dental experience by providing effective and comfortable treatments.
Airmax Air purifiers
Airmax air purifiers are installed in each operatory to ensure clean and healthy air for patients and dental staff. Airmax air purifiers utilize advanced filtration systems to effectively remove airborne particles, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and odors from the surrounding environment. These cleaners employ HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, and UV-C light technology to capture and neutralize harmful contaminants, ensuring optimal air quality. By removing potential pathogens and allergens, Airmax air purifiers create a safer and more hygienic environment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and promoting overall respiratory wellness. Airmax air purifiers in each operatory demonstrate our commitment to patient safety and comfort and providing a clean air environment during dental procedures.
The Wand
The Wand is a revolutionary tool that provides a more comfortable and precise administration of local anesthesia during dental procedures. This computer-assisted anesthesia system replaces the traditional syringe with a pen-like device that delivers the anesthetic in a controlled and painless manner. The Wand uses a computer-controlled mechanism to regulate the flow rate of the anesthetic, ensuring a slow and steady injection that minimizes discomfort and eliminates the feeling of numbness in the lips and tongue. Its lightweight and ergonomic design enhances the dentist’s control and accuracy when administering anesthesia. Utilizing The Wand offers our patients a more comfortable and anxiety-free experience, making dental procedures more pleasant and efficient while ensuring optimal patient satisfaction.
