The Wand

Hate the shots before dental treatment? Had enough of dental anesthetics that numb your lip and face along with your tooth and gums?

The Wand anesthetic delivery system numbs with less discomfort. Traditional injections use pressure to shoot anesthetic into the gum, which is painful. The Wand’s computer-controlled system delivers anesthetic to your tooth in a more comfortable, accurate way. It reduces or eliminates the discomfort of traditional injections.

With the Wand we can pinpoint the work area more accurately, so the anesthetic won’t affect other areas like tongue, lips, and teeth. After treatment, the whole area will feel normal faster.

Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays reduce your exposure to radiation by as much as 90 percent. Because the images are stored digitally, we can read them immediately, so you don’t waste time in the chair waiting for processing. Digital X-rays are earth-friendly, too, since they don’t require developing chemicals.

DIAGNOdent

The DIAGNOdent laser enables us to find and treat tooth decay in its earliest stages. We save more of your original tooth structure and strength.

Cat Scans for Dental Implants

Dental CAT scans provides us with an accurate, 3-D picture of the jaws. They help us avoid critical anatomy such as the sinuses or nerves.  We now have the Sirona 3-d dental cat scan machine in our office.  Although other offices charge as much as $600 for a cat scan, we offer cat scans to our patients free of charge.  Safety comes first!

VITA Easyshade Tooth Color Matching System

For the best smile, replacement teeth should closely resemble the shade of your natural teeth. With the point-and-click VITA Easyshade system, we take the guesswork out of color matching. We harness computer power to compare your teeth to 45 different tooth shades. The system is fast and effective, and our patients love the way their crowns, bridges, and dentures blend with their existing teeth.
