In our office
Imaging
Digital X-Rays
Low-radiation imaging for accurate diagnosis and patient education.
Digital sensors capture images that appear on screen within seconds, so we can review them with you right away. They use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Used for
Imaging
Panoramic X-Rays
One image of your whole mouth, from jaw joint to jaw joint.
A panoramic X-ray moves around your head and captures all of your teeth, both jaws and the surrounding structures in a single picture. It helps us see wisdom teeth, bone levels and anything developing below the gumline.
Used for
Imaging
3D Cone Beam CT
Detailed diagnostics for precise treatment planning, especially for dental implants and orthodontics.
A cone beam CT scanner rotates once around your head and builds a three-dimensional view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves and sinuses. It shows what a flat X-ray can’t, so treatment can be planned before it begins.
Used for
Diagnostics
Intraoral Cameras
See exactly what we see, tooth by tooth.
A pen-sized camera takes close-up photos inside your mouth and puts them on the chairside screen. It makes it easy to spot cracks, worn fillings and early decay, and to talk through your options together.
Used for
Diagnostics
DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection
A gentle laser scan that helps find decay hidden in the grooves of your teeth.
The DIAGNOdent pen shines a harmless laser light on the tooth surface and reads how it reflects back. Healthy enamel and decay respond differently, which helps us find cavities in the deep grooves of back teeth that are hard to see or feel.
Used for
Bite
Digital Occlusal Analysis
A precise, digital measurement of how your teeth come together.
You bite down on a thin sensor and the computer records the force and timing of every contact point between your upper and lower teeth. It shows where your bite is uneven, which helps when adjusting crowns and bridges or looking into jaw discomfort.
Used for
Digital scanning
iTero Scanner
Using advanced technology like the iTero 3D Scanner, we can even show you a preview of your post-treatment smile!
A small handheld wand captures thousands of images of your teeth and turns them into an accurate 3D model on screen. It replaces traditional putty impressions and is the starting point for Invisalign treatment.
Used for
Digital scanning
Digital Impressions
An accurate 3D record of your teeth, without the putty.
Instead of a tray of impression material, we scan your teeth and send the digital model straight to the lab. The same file is used to make crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, retainers and aligners that fit the way they should.
Used for
Restorations
E4D Same-Day Crowns
No more waiting for a crown! Get a custom, permanent restoration in a single visit.
Your tooth is scanned digitally, the crown is designed on screen, and it is milled in our office from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic. That means no temporary crown and no second appointment.
Used for
Orthodontics
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners.
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners, planned from a digital scan of your teeth, to move them gradually into place. The aligners are nearly invisible and come out for eating, brushing and flossing.
Used for
Treatment
Waterlase Laser Dentistry
Minimally invasive solutions for gum disease, fillings, and more.
Dental lasers use focused light energy to treat soft tissue and prepare teeth with a high level of precision. Procedures are often gentler, with less bleeding and a quicker recovery.
Used for
Treatment
Soft Tissue Lasers
Precise treatment for the gums and soft tissue of the mouth.
A soft tissue laser uses focused light energy to shape and remove gum tissue with a high level of precision. The laser seals as it works, so procedures are often gentler, with less bleeding and a quicker recovery.
Used for
Cleanings
Ultrasonic Scalers
A faster, gentler way to clear away tartar.
An ultrasonic scaler uses rapid vibrations and a fine stream of water to break up plaque and tartar and rinse it away, including below the gumline. It removes buildup efficiently with less scraping than hand instruments alone.
Used for
Cosmetic
Zoom Whitening
Professional in-office whitening in a single visit.
Zoom is an in-office whitening system. A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a special light, while your gums and lips are protected throughout the treatment.
Used for
Cosmetic
Snap-On Smile
A removable smile that fits over your own teeth.
Snap-On Smile is a thin, custom-made arch of teeth that snaps over your natural teeth. It is made from impressions of your teeth and requires no changes to the teeth underneath, so it can be taken out whenever you like.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- How often should adults visit the dentist?
- We recommend twice-yearly visits for cleanings and exams. However, patients with gum disease or other concerns may need more frequent visits.
- What causes tooth decay?
- Tooth decay occurs when bacteria break down sugars and starches, producing acids that erode enamel and cause cavities.
- Can gum disease be reversed?
- The early stage (gingivitis) can be fully reversed with proper care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be managed but requires professional treatment.
- Are fluoride treatments beneficial for adults?
- Yes! Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent cavities, especially for those at higher risk of decay.
- What should I do if I have sensitive teeth?
- Use a sensitivity toothpaste and talk to your dentist about possible underlying causes like enamel erosion or gum recession.
- Why is regular dental care important for adults?
- Consistent care prevents serious oral health issues, reduces the risk of tooth loss, and saves money by avoiding major procedures later.
