Our Office

CBCT: Cone Beam Computed Tomography is a revolutionary imaging technology that allows our doctors to see the anatomy of the upper and lower jaws in three dimensions. This type of image shows far more diagnostic information than a typical panorama or bitewing x-ray. It is used to diagnose different types of pathology, fractured teeth, sinus and nasal cavities, planning for precise implant placement, and the location of certain vital anatomical structures.

Intraoral scanning: Digital intraoral scanning has virtually eliminated the need for the messy impression materials used in the past. Our dentists and assistants use a scanning wand to digitally stitch together a “digital impression” of your teeth with proper bite alignment to ensure a highly accurate and mess-free digital copy of your teeth for various procedures.

Intraoral Camera: A picture is worth a thousand words. Intraoral cameras have aided the dental professional in showing different dental diagnoses. It’s one thing for your dentist to say that you need a filling or a crown, but when you have access to the full view of the tooth to understand the diagnosis, it helps to understand exactly why the treatment is recommended. We use images from the intraoral camera to better describe the prescribed dental treatment during your hygiene and dentist visit.

Guided Surgery: Guided implant surgery significantly reduces the uncertainty associated with the placement of dental implants. In combination with the CBCT and intraoral scan, our doctors often virtually plan the placement of your dental implant before you even arrive for surgery day. Guided surgery allows for accurate angulation, depth, and position of the implant which leads to more precise restorations and gum health around the implant.

• Isolating the dental chair, light & other equipment in the treatment room with disposable infection control barriers.
• Wearing disposable gloves and changing them between each patient.
• Wearing face masks to prevent microorganisms form entering or leaving through the mouth and nose.
• Wearing protective eyeglasses.
• Using steam autoclave (Normally at 340 F) as a sterilization method to disinfect and clean the instruments.
• Meticulously wiping down the treatment room before and after every patient with specialized disinfectant solution.
• Using disposable products when available to reduce the chances of cross-contamination.
• Carefully discarding all disposables to minimize human contact.
• Discarding needles and other sharp instruments in the bio-hazard waste disposal.
