Advanced Care

Our Technology

We invest in advanced tools so every visit is more comfortable, accurate, and efficient.

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral Camera

An Intraoral Camera is composed of a slim wand used to take pictures of problematic areas of the mouth — including rear molars and gums — and can help detect even minor cracks or other issues. By detecting unseen problems early on, we can help save you from potentially painful and costly procedures in the future. Live footage from the camera can be watched on a computer screen, allowing our team to take diagnostic images that can also be viewed later.

Cone Beam 3D X-Ray

Cone Beam 3D X-Ray

Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CT) is an advanced X-ray technology that produces detailed images of the bone around the teeth, enabling dentists to evaluate the mouth more comprehensively. It generates three-dimensional images of soft tissues, oral structures, nerve paths, and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan — allowing for more accurate treatment planning.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays use advanced sensors rather than film, reducing radiation exposure by roughly ninety percent compared to traditional X-rays. They provide more precise imagery and appear on-screen immediately, enabling detection of decay, tumors, abscesses, poor root positioning, and more. Digital images are also easily stored and retrieved.
