Technology

3-D dental imaging is an exciting new dental technology that allows your dentist to get a full view inside your mouth, allowing for better diagnosis and treatment of dental issues. With 3-D imaging, your dentist will use a 3-D imaging machine to create a 3-D rendering of the inside of your mouth. This is superior to traditional 2-D x-rays because it offers your dentist a look at your entire mouth in 3-D, providing more vivid detail and a variety of perspectives. 

Your dentist will be able to zoom in on areas, rotate the view, and enjoy a variety of angles, which makes for a much more in-depth imaging experience. Creating the 3-D image is simple and easy, taking only a few minutes.

With Digital Scanning, we no longer need to take goopy impressions of your teeth in order to create customized appliances or aligners. We can perform a quick scan and then send your scans directly to the dental laboratory. Advanced digital scanners also allow dentists to identify dental issues, track the progress of treatments, and more. This fantastic new technology makes your dental experiences faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. 

Dental lasers allow us to provide incredibly precise treatment with greater comfort, faster healing times, and less risk of bleeding than conventional surgical procedures. Lasers are particularly effective in the treatment of gum disease because they are able to target the damaged and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. Lasers also effectively target bacteria, helping to eliminate the infection.

If you have ever needed a crown, you know that there is a wait time between getting your tooth prepped and receiving your final restoration. We have eliminated that wait time for many patients by offering same-day dental crowns right here in our office. Using CAD/CAM technology and our in-office milling machine, you can receive your permanent restoration in a single visit.

This means no temporaries or waiting times for added convenience while not compromising strength and durability.

Technology impacts and improves our lives in many ways, and dentistry is no exception! Guided dental implant surgery uses 3-D imaging technology and surgical guides to precisely place dental implants in the most ideal location in the highest-quality bone to improve longevity and function. This technology allows us to take the guesswork out of dental implant placement by providing a clear image of bone and biological landmarks, such as sinuses, reducing the need for additional procedures like bone grafting and sinus augmentation.
