Please take a moment to browse our array of technology to learn more about how it benefits you.

3-D Cone Beam Imaging (CBCT)

This advanced imaging system creates detailed 3-D images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. Our doctors rely on these comprehensive images when planning complex treatments like implant placement or root canals, ensuring more precise, predictable results with less guesswork and reduced treatment time.

Digital X-Rays & Sensors

Our digital x-rays and sensors capture detailed images instantly using significantly less radiation than traditional methods. The crystal-clear images help our doctors identify and diagnose issues within and around teeth and beneath the gumline that are not apparent during a visual examination. When we share the information with you, you can better understand our treatment recommendations and the benefits.

Panoramic X-Rays

With one quick, comfortable scan, our panoramic x-rays capture your entire mouth in a single image. This invaluable technology helps us evaluate wisdom teeth, plan orthodontic treatment, and detect problems that might not be visible during a regular exam. Because these x-rays are taken outside the mouth, they are especially helpful for children, those with a strong gag reflex, or patients with special needs.

Digital Impressions

Forget messy, uncomfortable putty impressions! Our Primescan and Trios scanners quickly create precise digital models of your teeth for crowns, bridges, dentures, and clear aligners. These highly accurate scans result in better-fitting restorations, fewer adjustments, and a significantly more comfortable experience than traditional impression methods.
