Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-rays emit less radiation, take images faster without any need for processing, and allow us to optimize the images so we can provide a more precise diagnosis.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technique that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to create a highly detailed 3D image of the mouth. By rotating the cone beam around the head, this imaging technique can help us accurately design a treatment plan.

Digital Intraoral Camera

This handheld camera provides us with an innovative way to examine your mouth in greater detail. By using this diagnostic tool, we can zoom in closely on specific teeth and capture a high-quality image of them. The images are then displayed on a screen for both you and our dentist to review, providing a better understanding of your diagnosis and treatment.

Soft Tissue Laser

Soft tissue lasers have been used in dentistry for two decades. It requires less time than any kind of anesthesia which allows you to get more procedures done in a day.
