Technology We Use

Our office utilizes many new advancements in the dental industry to provide our patients with the best care possible. We have used Dexis digital X-rays since 2008. This not only saves our patients time in the dental chair but greatly reduces the radiation need to get a good quality image. 


In 2013 we added the Identify Cancer Screening devise. Most people know the key factor in treating or curing cancer is early detection. Identify is a new product that uses a Violet colored light to identify abnormal cells earlier than you could see with just a standard visual examination. We recommend this test annually especially if you smoke or use chewing tobacco. 


In 2014 we added the Dexis CariVu. This devise uses two high powered lights near the infrared spectrum to illuminate the teeth. It is able to detect cavities and fracture lines between the teeth that would not be visible otherwise. It uses no radiation and allows us to find cavities and fractures when they are smaller and easier to treat. We will continue to add new products to the office as they become available. Our goal is to provide a superior level of dental care for our patients with the use of technology in a fun and relaxing environment. 


In 2017 we added the Trios Digital Color Scanner. This devise allows us to take 3D-images of the teeth in full color. This replaced the traditional puddy impressions that people love so much! We send the file to the dental lab and can have orthodontic retainers made, crowns, partials etc. Most people like the scans much better than the puddy impression and overall accuracy is improved as well.
