Our team uses several types of X-rays to diagnose different dental issues. Common X-rays include a bitewing scan, an occlusal scan and a panoramic scan. A bitewing scan helps your dentist to diagnose tooth decay, particularly between the teeth. An occlusal scan shows how your top and bottom teeth fit together, and helps to detect issues with the palate. Finally, a panoramic scan rotates around your head to help our team plan for dental implants, better analyze jaw and bite issues and look for wisdom teeth.

Oftentimes, cavities can go undetected, as they do not always display symptoms. A laser cavity detector is a pen-like instrument that can be used to diagnose hidden cavities. This instrument shines a light onto the teeth that are then absorbed and reflected back to a sensor, which displays a digital reading. This reading determines whether a cavity is present. Laser cavity detectors are highly effective, and are a great addition to other detection methods, such as X-rays.

In addition to the laser cavity detector, we also offer the soft-tissue laser. This allows our team to perform dental procedures with more precision. Furthermore, patients experience less bleeding and discomfort and a shorter recovery time.

For patients who want to brighten their smiles, we offer KOR whitening treatment. KOR is a cost-effective option with reliable results. KOR utilizes custom-fit whitening trays and bleaching gel to brighten the teeth without increasing tooth sensitivity.

The digital scanner can take accurate, 3D impressions of your smile without the goop and gagging associated with traditional impressions! The digital scanner can be utilized for Invisalign treatment, dental implant treatment planning and more.

The intraoral camera allows our dentists to take high-quality images of the inside of your mouth. This helps our team to show you what issues they have detected, and capture tiny cracks or fractures in teeth that may be difficult to see with the naked eye.
