Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems are used to render high-definition 3D scans of the mouth and jaw with less radiation exposure. Data is captured using a cone-shaped X-ray beam that allows our doctors a 360-degree view of your teeth. Traditional dental X-rays are useful; however, many situations require a closer look. By utilizing CBCT technology, we are able to plot out complex dental procedures and take extremely close looks at problem areas. This machine even allows us to map out nerves in the facial structure, assuring a successful recovery free of unnecessary pain.

We are always looking for ways to improve the patient experience. One of the most exciting advancements in dental technology that allows us to do so is the CEREC Primescan device. This intra-oral scanner takes 3D digital impressions of teeth, making impressions faster and reducing discomfort as well as gagging. Digital impressions streamline the appointment process, getting you in and out of an appointment even quicker. Invisible braces can be made almost instantly by sharing the impressions virtually, rather than having to mail traditional impressions to the manufacturer. Results can be viewed in real time, allowing your doctor to view the 3D map of your teeth on a screen while taking the impressions. You’ve never seen the inside of your mouth quite like this!

Digital chairside dentistry is possible with the combination of the CEREC Primescan and CEREC Primemill devices. The CEREC Primemill is a wet and dry milling and wet grinding machine that allows us to manufacture dental accessories including crowns and implants in our own office. After taking digital impressions of your mouth using our comfortable, non-invasive Primescan device, we utilize the 3D map of your teeth with our CEREC Primemill to produce PERFECTLY fitting oral accessories.

Straighten teeth with confidence by wearing an invisible aligner customized for your smile. Plastic aligners progress gradually until your teeth are shifted into the beautiful smile of your dreams. Each tray is worn for several weeks and then swapped out. While Invisalign and ClearCorrect must be worn at all times, with exceptions, not having clunky metal braces makes hygiene and daily activity easier. Typically, clear braces can be completed in half the time it takes to straighten teeth using traditional wire braces.

We remove stains and discoloration from the surface of teeth, creating a brighter, whiter smile. Various treatment options offered in-house give patients confidence knowing that a trusted and trained professional is overseeing the whitening of fragile tooth material. During all in-office whitening sessions, we isolate the teeth from sensitive soft tissue using protective devices, guaranteeing that the whitening agent only makes contact with the teeth. We dry the surface of the teeth, apply a professional whitening agent, and closely monitor the stages of lightening. We closely study the results and reapply the agent as needed until the desired results are achieved. Our patients leave our office with confidence in their sparkling white smiles!
