State-of-the-Art Dental Technologies
Advanced Technology
As one of the nation's most advanced cosmetic dentistry facilities, we are very proud to offer the following state-of-the-art technology options to meet your cosmetic dentistry needs.
I-Glasses for watching movies
The glasses that we have available for the patient to use while the dental treatment being done is a great way to distract the patient from what is going on in their mouth. It is the next best thing to dropping your teeth off and picking them up later, all fixed. We have a large selection of movies to pick from and you can relax and enjoy the movie. We’ll let you know when it is time to go home.
BriteSmile Whitening System
If you want an incredible smile that people will notice, BriteSmile is the tooth whitening system for you. In just one hour, while relaxing in our beautiful dental office, your teeth will go from drab to dazzling.
Digital Radiography
One of the most important diagnostic tool that has come our way in recent years is digital radiography. It has truly revolutionized how we diagnose. One big advantage is we are able to see the results instantly on any computer in the office. If we need a different view or angle we can see that immediately and take another X-ray. Instead of trying to see decay or other problems on a small film approximately one inch tall, we can put the image on a large monitor and enlarge it to massive proportions if we need to. We can also manipulate the image by changing contrast and other tools to see things we could have never seen before. Best of all, digital X-rays use radiation doses that are a small fraction of what normal X-rays require. So they are safer, faster and better.
Computerized Jaw Tracking System (K6I)
Our state-of-the-art computerized jaw tracking system - K7 - is the newest way to help those suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint disease). This neuromuscular dentistry problem shows symptoms such as headaches, neck and should pain or a clicking / popping of the jaw. By using the K6I, we can determine where the jaw needs to sit in order to be relaxed and alleviate the associated discomfort.
Digital Photography
Yes, digital photography has made its way into cosmetic dentistry. By using digital imaging, we can view your teeth more quickly. This also allows for a more timely process of determining what the best solution will be for your cosmetic dentistry needs.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth resulting in a beautiful, white smile. This procedure is ideal if your teeth are chipped, broken, worn down or misaligned.
Porcelain Onlays
Similar to a tooth crown, porcelain onlays provide strength to teeth that are damaged. The porcelain onlays can be matched to the color of your natural teeth and maintain your smile while protecting your teeth.
Image FX Imaging System
Image FX is a computer software program that works with our digital imaging program. Tooth x-rays and other dental pictures are processed via computer allowing easier access and review for the cosmetic dentist.
Soft Tissue Laser
One of the keys to getting great results when doing a smile makeover is to make sure the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth is symmetrical and healthy. Just like a beautiful painting needs a beautiful frame, your smile need a frame that compliments rather than distracts. The new lasers that we use allow us to gently reshape the gum tissue while at the same time increasing the health of the gums. It also has other valuable uses like helping with periodontal (gum) disease, treatment for cold sores and correcting unhealthy gum tissue.
Intraoral Camera
State-of-the-art technology has integrated a camera into the same type of hand piece used for such things as polishing teeth. This allows the cosmetic dentist easy, accurate control while looking in those dark, hard to see places in the mouth.
