Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance
patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
| Digital x-rays
can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image
directly into a computer monitor. This larger image
helps the patient understand the doctor's explanations
more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage
to this new technology is that it reduces the amount
of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster.
The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear
in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is
friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed
for developing the image. |

Intraoral Camera
|
|
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic
wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside
of your mouth. This allows us to let you see what we
see. |
Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us to simulate cosmetic
and other procedures so you can see the effect on
your smile before we start! We take digital pictures
of your teeth and then use a sophisticated computer
simulation program to create the projected "after"
images.

Voice-activated Charting Software
| This system connects a computer database
to a voice-activated headset so we can quickly, easily,
and accurately record individual measurements when performing
a periodontal exam. |

Multimedia Education
|
|
Our treatment rooms are equipped with
state-of-the-art patient-education DVD systems. If you
are uncertain about a particular procedure, we will
be happy to play the DVD video segment for you. |
