3-D cone beam imaging (i-CAT)

Finds problems standard images miss. Supports earlier detection of impacted teeth, airway concerns, and jaw joint changes. Improves clinical decisions before symptoms worsen.
DIAGNOdent
What it does
Measures tooth decay and shows the depth and complexity of a cavity.

Digital dental X-rays
What it does
Captures high resolution diagnostic images with reduced radiation compared to older style X-rays.

Helps identify decay, infection, and bone changes early. Earlier diagnosis often means simpler treatment.
Intraoral Camera
What it does
Takes close up photos of teeth and gums and displays them on a screen.
Why it matters to you
You see the exact issue being discussed. This makes treatment options easier to understand and helps track changes over time.
Digital records
What it does
Stores your dental images and health information securely and allows comparisons across visits.
Why it matters to you

CEREC single day crowns
What it does
Digitally scans the tooth, designs the crown, then creates a ceramic crown in the practice.
Why it matters to you
Improves fit and bite accuracy and reduces reliance on traditional impressions. Supports faster planning and fewer steps from preparation to final placement.
Sleep studies
What it does
Provides take home equipment to record sleep quality and waking events. Data is sent to an accredited sleep specialist for review.

Why it matters?
Reduces anxiety during treatment and supports a faster return to normal activities after your appointment.
Oral sedation

NuCalm relaxation

A non medication system using supplements, calming audio, gentle electrostimulation, and an eye mask.
Why it matters?
You avoid messy impressions, and we get a precise digital record of your teeth. That helps with comfort during your visit and speeds up the process for crowns, bridges, and other lab-made work.
Preview your smile in real time. Smile simulation helps you see possible results before you commit to treatment.
Soft tissue laser treatment
What it does?
