Technologies at Our Dental Clinic
Our dentists are able to utilize technology to help diagnose your dental conditions and come up with treatment plans that are customized to your unique needs.
Our technology helps us get a full look at what is going on with your teeth, and what may be hidden below the gum line where our dentists cannot see.
Using the screens in our clinic, your dentist can then show you the images that were captured, and walk you through exactly what is going on and what they plan to do to treat it.
Ultimately, our goal is keep patients fully informed about their oral health while providing dental care. Technology helps us achieve that goal.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film to produce highly detailed computer images of the teeth, gums and other oral structures. This allows your dentist to examine parts of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays create a single flat image of your entire mouth, allowing your dentist to examine your teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and the nasal and sinus structures at once. They are often used to plan for dentures, extractions, and implants.
Oral Cancer Screening Device
The VELscope® is an oral cancer screening device that use fluorescence visualization technology to help your dentist identify abnormalities and potential diseases in the mouth, such as cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. It can be performed in your dentist’s office during routine exams in about two minutes.
