Diagnodent -Laser for early detection of cavities.
Diagnodent allows us to find cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, even when they just beginning, and would have been missed by previous detection methods. This small, portable laser unit alerts us with an audible signal and a numerical readout depending on the extent of cavity. We can stop cavities in their infancy, whereas in the past they would have to be significantly bigger before we could find and treat them. Just like other areas of medicine and dentistry, early detection and treatment is of immeasurable value in preserving your health. Back

Digital Radiography-Computer-generated images with a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-rays
Intraoral X-rays are the most common radiographs made. If you're like most people who visit the dentist, you've had many sets of intraoral radiographs in your life and you'll likely have many more. Because they give a high level of detail, these are the X-rays that allow us to find caries, look at the tooth roots, check the health of the bony area surrounding the tooth, see the status of developing teeth, and otherwise monitor good tooth health. Computer-generated images, called digital radiography reduces radiation by as much as 90 percent. Back

Diode Laser-For Treatment of Gum Disease
Laser gum treatment is a highly effective new innovative procedure for periodontal (gum) disease. After verifying that you are a candidate, your next experiences are generally quite comfortable. The area is anesthetized with a local anesthetic.
A. Periodontal probe indicates extent of pocket depth.
B. Laser light kills bacteria and diseased tissue.
C. Next a combination of ultrasonic and hand scalers and irrigation are used to cleanse the root surface of teeth. D. Once verified clean, the laser is used once again to sterilize the pocket and cause a coagulum to form. It is this coagulum that heals and becomes a new attachment from the bone to the tooth.
E. Then the gum tissues are compressed with pressure, against the tooth and a stable fibrin clot forms at the gingival crest.
F. Bite trauma is adjusted to redirect untoward forces along the long axis of the tooth.
G. New attachment is regenerated, new bone and new ligament is formed and healing occurs. Back

Intra Oral Camera-Aids in Diagnosis and Education
A sterilized small probe shaped camera is moved around the inside of your mouth. This will provide you with a tooth by tooth video exam of your teeth so you can see your teeth enlarged in living color on our computer screen in the treatment room. It allows us to see problem areas that could easily be missed with just a visual examination. It also allows you to better understand your dental needs by actually seeing what we see. Back

K-7 Evaluation System-To aid in diagnosis and treatment of TMD
We are able to conduct a series of tests using non-invasive computerized electronic instrumentation. These tests include, Electromyography (EMG) that detects electric impulses originating in muscles. It will provide precise information about resting muscle status as well as their efficiency when biting. It also allows for Sonography, to precisely record jaw sound as you open and close your mouth. Another feature is the Computerized Jaw Tracking which records the position and movements of the jaw.

ULF-TENS
ULF-TENS stands for Ultra Low Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation. Basically, ULF-TENS is a way to relax muscles with a gentle massage of the muscles. This allows us to get relief of muscle spasm during TMJ treatments.

Whitening Laser Light-For a faster and more effective whitening process
The Rembrandt ® teeth whitening system protocol includes the use of a plasma arc light unit (named the Rembrandt ® Sapphire ™). This bleaching light is be fitted with the Rembrandt ® Whitening Crystal ™ which allows us to simultaneously treat both the upper and lower teeth. The wavelength of the light emitted from this unit is in the range of 400 to 525nm (meaning that the light has a blue-green coloration). The light of this specific wavelength activates the Rembrandt ® tooth whitener so to enhance its whitening effect. Back

Digital Photography-To aid in Diagnosis
A picture is worth a thousand words. This is as true in dentistry as it is in any other aspect of life. We use photographic images taken by our Canon 30D to aid us in diagnosis, and treatment-planning, We routinely photograph our patients on their first visit. Back

Electric Handpieces-For Better patient comfort
Electric hand-pieces are a major improvement over the traditional air-driven handpieces. The most important advantage is that they are quiet, with a reduced potential for hearing damage and a less irritating sound for patients. They also offer low levels of vibration and a smooth operation. Back

Casey Patient Education-To learn about you Dental Healthcare
To further reduce our guests' apprehensions, we use the Casey Interactive Patient Education System. This allows us to show our patients what each dental procedure entails. This is shown on the TV monitor in the treatment room utilizing motion picture DVD technology. A multimedia presentation explains clearly what will be done. With over 250 unique presentations, there's no limit to the amount of information our patients can receive about their condition and treatments. Casey Patient education is designed to help you become better informed. By viewing various presentations, you'll be able to ask good questions and make great decisions. Back
