Harnessing the Power of Laser Dentistry
To make your visit as comfortable as possible, we have a Lumenis Dental Laser. This wonderful piece of technology replaces the vibrations and noises of the traditional drill for many procedures and often can be used without Novocaine.
The Lumenis Dental Laser procedures include:
• Removing dental decay (cavities)
• Removing cold sores and canker sores
• Performing surgeries with no bleeding
• Treating gum disease
***Only 2 % of all dentists in the United States perform laser dentistry and we are honored to have a laser treatment center in our office.
Nearly painless Novocaine anesthesia via “The Wand"
“The Wand”, a syringe free computerized Novocaine system gives nearly painless injections. By use of a computer sensor pump, the correct flow rate of anesthetic is obtained, resulting in less pressure sensation in oral tissues. You may always request “The Wand” for your comfort for any procedure in our office.
Digital X-Rays
Through the use of sensor technology, we can now put x-rays of your teeth onto a computer screen for your viewing in 5 seconds.
Advantages of digital x-ray include:
- A large image on a computer screen for easy discussion of oral conditions
- 5 second processing (about 10 minutes for a normal x-ray)
- Reduced radiation to the patient
Intraoral Cameras
We have several high definition intraoral cameras in our office that can place any tooth or region of your mouth on the television screen for discussion.
