Intra-Oral Camera
We understand that the biggest hurdle for you to accept treatment is that you don't understand your condition. We provide our patients with an intra-oral video examination which simplifies patient education. This new dental technology allows both the Doctor and the patient to see the condition of the mouth at the same time, right on a computer screen. At this time you can discuss with your Doctor your treatment options.
Invisalign
Invisalign is an effective and popular system for adult orthodontic treatment. It involves wearing removable, clear mouthpieces for a period of 6 to 18 months. Aligners hold tooth bleach well and we provide this for all Invisalign patients. The process of creating aligners is almost completely digitized and requires a lot of high tech wizardry. Because of this, the cost of Invisalign treatment may be somewhat higher than for braces. An occassional drawback to Invisalign is that certain movements of teeth aren't as effective and may require extra effort to achieve.
DIAGNODent
Laser Cavity Detection! 
The DIAGNOdent Laser Scanner detects new cavities years before any other means of cavity detection. DIAGNOdent shines a harmless laser beam into the tooth which reflects back. If tooth decay is present, even in small amounts, the DIAGNOdent sensor will alert the doctor. DIAGNOdent even indicates how much tooth decay is present. We find cavities, big or small, much earlier so we conserve much more of the strong, healthy tooth!
