Digital X-rays help in the diagnosis and treatment of many dental procedures. They illustrate bone height, bone defects, infection, root issues, tooth decay and more. Digital X-rays are also beneficial in determining if gum disease is progressing or arrested. A digital X-ray allows for quick on screen reference to facilitate your understanding of any areas of concern. As well, digital X-rays allow for minimal exposure time with 80% less radiation than normal X-rays. Digital X-rays are faster, safer and environmentally friendly.

Our office utilizes an Intra-Oral Camera and Video System! The more you know about your mouth, the more able you are to make good choices for your dental care. We utilize this advanced technology to assist patients who want to be an active participant in their own dental care. Ask one of our team members for a complete tour of your mouth. Then, we'll immediately print a photograph of any area(s) you would like. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Intra-oral scanning now can replace dental impressions to accurately image the entire dentition or just a specific area of the oral cavity. These images can then be used for treatment planning purposes – from dental aligners to smile design, or to fabricate dental appliances and restorations including indirect restorations and permanent crowns. This technology is significantly more comfortable for patients than trays of impression material and provides superior accuracy for both the dentist and laboratory technician.

In office, same-day milling takes a digital image from our intra-oral scanner and turns it into a final restoration while you wait in the office. This technology helps eliminate the need for several weeks with a temporary restoration while the permanent restoration is being fabricated in an outside laboratory. Our state-of-the-art milling unit fabricates precision, bonded restorations that are designed to provide increased longevity and optimal esthetics for all your restorative and cosmetic dental needs.
