• LANAP Procedure

LANAP® laser gum therapy gives us the ability to possibly save loose teeth that would have needed to be removed otherwise. These revolutionary lasers allow us to effectively remove bacteria.

• Diode Laser

The Diode Laser is a soft tissue laser that is universally accepted as a tremendous adjunct to soft tissue therapies. This laser provides our office with an extremely precise method for manipulating oral tissues and treating a number of soft tissue issues. The diode is a safe and typically pain-free treatment method that can increase healing time and reduce post-operative pain.

• DIAGNODENT

DIAGNOdent is a revolutionary way to detect and find cavities. DIAGNOdent uses a laser diode to inspect the patient’s teeth. The light-emitting device is shined on the teeth and then gives a digital readout the dentist can detect decay. The DIAGNOdent laser can identify the tiniest bit of tooth decay before it becomes a major problem. Detecting decay early means that fillings can be shallower and more straightforward, and more of the tooth structure can be preserved. And, because DIAGNOdent uses only light energy, not x-rays, it’s safe to use at each office visit.

• Myotronics TENS Machine

• Piezo Scalers

Piezo Scalers allow us to perform better cleaning with less tissue trauma. They are very efficient and excellent for stain removal.

• Criticare Machine

A state-of-the-art machine is used to spot-check or continually monitor oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart rate. Neuromuscular Diagnostic Techniques

• Treatment Modalities

Our doctors employ a wide range of procedures to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

• Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays allow Our doctors to provide an even more accurate and usually earlier diagnosis than conventional x-ray film has been able to offer in the past. Using a digital sensor allows us to instantly project the image on a computer screen and enhance the image. It also allows you to be a part of your diagnosis and see clearly what treatment is needed and why. Another benefit of digital x-rays is that the amount of radiation you are exposed to is reduced by 90 percent.

• Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras are not much bigger than a pen and are equipped with a camera and a light. Our doctors can take a close-up picture of your teeth and gums in any area of your mouth, even the very back and hard-to-see places. The picture (or video feed) is instantly up on a screen for you and our doctors to see. Many patients have a hard time understanding why they might need treatment on a tooth that does not hurt or cannot see correctly. Hard to read x-rays, or a long description by the dentist does not usually help either. Intraoral cameras allow you and Our doctors to clearly see your dental issue and help you understand why you need treatment.
