Our state-of-the-art technologies ensure accuracy, efficiency, and comfort. Our dental equipment is safe, effective, and well-maintained. Some of our dental technologies include those listed below:

Digital X-Rays

Our advanced digital x-rays magnify and enhance your teeth for better diagnosis and treatment. This technology allows us to take images of your teeth and display them on a computer screen quickly and easily.

With digital x-rays, we can view your teeth and surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy.  These images provide the information we need to plan your dental treatment.

Digital x-rays require much less radiation than traditional film x-rays. Digital x-rays are a safe and effective dental technology.

iTero Scanner

The iTero Scanner is the latest in intra-oral imaging technology. Using a small camera, it is used to record images of your teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue from inside your mouth. Due to its small size and sleek design, it is comfortable, easy to use, and able to view a wide range of angles. The intra-oral camera is a safe and effective tool that can be used with patients of every age.

The iTero Scanner intra-oral camera is a highly valuable resource for both diagnosis and treatment planning. After your exam, images captured by the intra-oral camera may be digitally stored, printed out, or deleted.

The iTero Scanner replaces the traditional alginate impressions used to make a mold of your teeth for treatment planning, appliance design, and retainer fabrication.  This eliminates a part of treatment that was difficult for many patients.
