Dental Technology We Offer
Our practice is committed to incorporating advanced dental technology into our treatments to ensure efficiency, comfort, and high levels of precision for the best possible care for your teeth. Let’s take a look at some of the top-notch dental technology solutions used in our office to even further enhance your dental experience:
CEREC
With our CEREC technology, we are able to custom design and insert ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays all in one visit. We use digital imaging to perfectly design a restoration that matches your overall tooth structure without having to make many visits to the general dentist office. These quick and easy dental care solutions will have you leaving our office with a completed natural-looking restoration all in one day.
Cone Beam 3D Imaging
This practice employs a three-dimensional imaging technique called Cone Beam 3D, which gives a very minute and clear picture of your teeth, jaws, and the surrounding tissues. These varieties of imaging will have so much diagnostic importance that these complex treatments, like dental implants or even orthodontics, are planned with an extreme degree of accuracy. It is a non-invasive and thus safe way to get completely enlightened about your dental condition.
Laser Dentistry
Our laser dentistry technology offers a minimally invasive approach to a variety of treatments including gum reshaping, cavity removal and gum disease treatment. Lasers minimize the use of traditional tools and create less discomfort and accelerate the healing process for the patient. Patients experience less pain and bleeding and therefore have a more comfortable and efficient procedure.
VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection of oral cancer is of paramount importance. Our VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening system aids in the detection of abnormalities that may not be visible with the naked eye. This non-invasive screening checks for tissue change by using a special light, hence making it easier to detect any problems early on. A routine VELscope® may indeed save your life because it identifies oral cancer at the earliest stages.
The Benefits of Advanced Dental Technology in Artistic Smiles
Advanced technology allows us to offer safer, quicker, more comfortable treatment options. Listed below are just a few of the benefits that come with our digital dentistry and dental diagnosis:
Safer procedures
With our dental digital and laser technology, the use of traditional tools is minimal, ensuring that infection risks are lower, and giving you the safest procedures. Advanced tools allow us to provide precision in control, limiting damage to surrounding tissue to what's necessary and giving a healthy experience for our patients.
Faster Recovery Times
Generally speaking, working with minimally invasive techniques-such as with laser dentistry-a patient can also expect to have far quicker recovery times. By reducing discomfort and hastening healing, we allow the patient to return to their everyday activities immediately, not having to undergo substantial downtime of conventional dental surgery.
Quality Results
Advanced imaging and design tools, such as CEREC and 3D imaging, play a significant role in our aim for highly accurate and natural-appearing restorations. These technologies will enable us to design restorations that perfectly blend with your teeth and provide an enhanced aesthetic look and functionality for your smile.
Time Efficiency
With our digital dentistry offerings, such as CEREC for the same-day crown, there are no second and subsequent appointments, nor temporary solutions. Such efficiency allows us to perform your treatment in the shortest time possible and helps you to save your precious time with the best possible outcome.
Better Diagnosis
Our Cone Beam 3D Imaging and VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening allow us to gather detailed information about your oral health and catch potential problems early. The better the diagnostic tools, the better prepared we are to catch potential problems before they become major issues, saving your health and minimizing the need for future treatment.
Enhanced Patient Comfort
From laser dentistry’s gentle efficiency to the convenience of one-visit restorations, our technology is designed with comfort in mind. Advanced tools and techniques often reduce the need for anesthesia and drilling, so procedures are more pleasant and less intimidating.
Efficient Treatments
This allows us to accelerate treatments, therefore offering faster, more efficient procedures. Our technology allows us to do everything from fabricating a crown to detecting the early signs of oral cancer efficiently and effectively, never sacrificing quality.
Learning Experiences
We believe that an educated patient is an empowered one. Technology allows us to share visuals and explanations with you so you understand your treatment options and dental health. By being able to visualize for yourself any scans or images, you will better understand your oral care and the measures we take through to keep your smile healthy.
Our goal is to make your experience with us as efficient and comfortable as possible. Each type of dental technology used in our office has its own benefits, from the detailed images captured by X-rays to the improved results that come from using the latest treatment materials and dental tech types.

FAQ
What is the advantage of CEREC technology in terms of crowns?
CEREC technology enables us to design, construct, and place crowns in one visit. You will not have to suffer with a temporary crown or go through the hassle of investing too much time in multiple visits. The CEREC crowns are constructed from high-quality materials to provide you with an aesthetically natural look which will be long-lasting.
How does 3D Cone Beam Imaging develop diagnosis and treatment?
Cone Beam 3D Imaging provides highly detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, bone, and soft tissues. It has greatly extended the scale of diagnosis and treatment planning due to the enhanced degree of accuracy, correctness, confidence, and efficacy. This will especially be useful for complicated treatments, such as in the case of dental implants or root canals, with the view of enhancing the overall success of the procedure.
Is laser dentistry safe, and how does it improve patient comfort?
Yes, laser dentistry is safe. The advantages include making many treatments painless because of reduced anesthesia use due to minimal trauma to the tissues. The precision with which lasers attack an area allows us not to affect the surrounding tissues; thus, there is less pain and quicker healing. Patients can much more easily be comfortable with very little or no use of traditional drilling.
VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening-how does it help in oral health?
Special light is used in the VELscope ® Oral Cancer Screening, which illuminates abnormalities of the mouth that cannot be clinically visible to the naked eye. We will be able to notice abnormalities in one's mouth that are possible cases of early oral cancer or other changes in tissues before they go on to become a more serious stage. Early detection facilitates effective treatment; hence, VELscope ® is considered an important means of preventive care.
Why is advanced technology important in dental patient care?
