Digital X-Ray

Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the standard in dental imaging. Digital X-rays allow the doctor to get a much better view of your teeth and potential dental conditions.  The digital imaging software allows the doctor to see a number of different views of the tooth to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management.  Digital X-rays provide a great benefit to the patient.  Not only are they an excellent diagnostic tool, but they decrease radiation to the patient by over 80%.

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras are an excellent means of allowing the patient to view potential dental conditions in their own mouth.  It is much easier to understand what is happening in your mouth if you can see the problem on a computer monitor.  This digital image can be utilized to provide information to insurances and other doctors if necessary.

Rotary Endodontics

Rotary Endodontics, or root canal, is a method in which the doctor utilizes an electric handpiece to perform the procedure.  The electric handpiece allows the doctor to clean and shape the canals more thoroughly than using hand files and because it s electric, there is no drill noise.  This makes the whole treatment experience much more pleasant.  Most root canal therapy can be done in one appointment.

Panoramic Xray

The panoramic xray provides us with a full view of the patients mouth.  The purpose of this is to discover the abnomalities of the teeth, Jaws and TMJ (Tempero-Mandibular Joint).  This means that the dentist can quickly zero in on the challenges which the patients are having and resolve the problem to relieve any future issues with their dental situation.
