The tools behind the work.
Six pieces of modern equipment we use to make dentistry safer, faster, and more comfortable than it used to be. Each one earns its place in the room.
Soft-tissue laser
DEKA Laser
Used for periodontal and soft-tissue procedures. The laser seals as it cuts, which means cleaner work, less bleeding, and faster healing compared to traditional methods. Patients usually feel less discomfort the day after.
3D imaging
PRExion CBCT
A cone-beam CT scanner for detailed 3D imaging of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. We use it primarily to plan implant placement with millimeter accuracy, and to evaluate complex cases that flat X-rays cannot show clearly.
Oral cancer screening
VELscope
A blue-light handheld device that reveals tissue abnormalities not visible to the naked eye. Used as part of every routine exam. A two-minute screening can catch problems early, when they are most treatable.
Other tools in everyday use.
-
CAD/CAM
Same-day digitally-milled crowns. We design the restoration on a computer, mill it in the office, and place it in the same appointment. No second visit for the permanent crown.
-
Invisalign
Clear aligners for adults and teens, with digital treatment planning. You see the final result before treatment even begins.
-
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Uses your own blood's platelets, drawn the day of the procedure, to speed healing after extractions and surgery.
