Diagnodent Laser Decay Detection 

Early Detection and then Precise Correction 

Using a Laser wand called DIAGNODENT we now can catch areas of decay sooner and with more precision.  Not only can it help prevent the spread of decay, but catching decay early means any fillings required are simpler and shallower, preserving more of the tooth. This allows us to use minimally invasive filling procedures, such as drill-free  AIRABRASION In many situations we are finally able to objectively monitor any suspicious areas without repeated x-rays, harm to tissues, or the need for protective measures.  Click HERE to learn what this technology can do for you.

Cerec Computerized White Fillings - white crowns and inlayed fillings that can be constructed in one visit in an in office milling chamber, therefore eliminating the need for a temporary, the two week delay and a second appointment.  Click HERE to learn more about this exciting technology. 

Intra-Oral Video Camera - ever been to the dentist and have them try to show you some little spec way back on an upper molar with a hand held mirror - those days are gone.  Today you can see an image of your health magnified more than thirty times on monitors mounted in the ceiling above the dental chair.  View existing conditions the same way your dental team sees them or take home a printed copy for your records.

Air Abrasion - a new type of dentistry involving advanced particle beam technology that requires "no shot and no drill" and silently "blows" away the cavity from the tooth. Click on "Filings without Shots?"  for more detailed information.

Surgical "loops" (telescopic glasses) - most all of our work is done wearing these magnifying glasses to allow us to be more detailed with our work for you.  Between these and the intra-oral camera we can see things not visible before to the naked eye alone. 

Caesy multimedia education- each treatment room as well as the conference room, and even the big screen are equipped with a computer based DVD rom presentation series on nearly every aspect of dentistry from diagnosis and treatment to cosmetic results to reconstruction with implants.  All of your questions are important to us and this has proven a way to enhance our ability to communicate - a picture surely is worth more than a thousand words.

Headphones - each dental chair is equipped with stereo headphones wired from the TV's in the ceiling - select a cable channel or bring a video of yours you have been meaning to get to and we will play it during your treatment.

Electric Handpieces - the little miniature drills that we use have changed as well.  Electric handpieces provide more torque which allows us to run them at lower RPM's and still get the tooth repaired.  The benefit to you is that they are less noisy and run more true.  By being more concentric you feel less of what we are doing on the tooth.  Quieter and less feeling are always good in a dental visit.  They also are less traumatic to the "pulp" (nerve) of the tooth so there is less likely to be discomfort afterwards.  

Windows Based Dental Software - our dental practice has been computerized for near twenty five  years - evidence of our long term commitment to remaining on the cutting edge.  Today's software is remarkable -  we can schedule your appointments from any where in the office, file insurance electronically, even post notes and messages to your records reminding us of special needs or medical conditions you may have. Those pictures we capture with the intra-oral camera - you guessed it - they are stored on our computer system allowing us to bring them up and compare at later visits in order to better monitor the changing conditions of your oral health.  Even the power of today's  computer assures that we are doing our best to serve you.
