Digital X-rays & Digital Imaging
Digital x-rays are faster and more versatile than conventional x-rays, and they are comfortable for you. What we like most about digital x-rays is how they aid us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs, and how they do it with one quarter of the radiation exposure of conventional x-rays! With no chemical processing needed, digital technology helps us do our part to keep the environment safe, too.
We employ digital imaging, as well, to show you how fabulous your new and improved smile could look, before treatment even begins. A photo of your smile, taken quickly and conveniently in our office, can be enhanced and imaged to show you how cosmetic and restorative treatments could improve your smile! See below for an example:

Both digital x-rays and digital imaging allow our staff to better educate patients about their oral health needs and smile enhancement options. We believe that education is a very important part of making informed and wise decisions.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings can be adhesively held in place or “bonded.” Because they can be bonded to teeth, composite fillings allow for more conservative preparations where less healthy tooth structure is removed. This often results in smaller fillings than that of amalgam (silver fillings), and they are more natural looking! The tooth-colored material is cured with a special light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth, rendering the final restoration virtually undetectable to the eye and very natural feeling in the mouth.
Powerful, Professional Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also enhance your confidence and self-esteem. As a bonus, whitening can lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking terrific. Ask us about brightening your smile at your next visit. We offer both convenient take home whitening solutions (with custom trays) and powerful in-office whitening systems, including Deep Bleaching™ and ZOOM!®.
Invisalign®
If you think braces that are not only clear but also removable sound wonderful, a straight smile could soon be yours with Invisalign®. Through a series of clear Aligners®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results but without the noticeable wires and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step. For your ease and convenience, the Aligners can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule your Invisalign consultation!
Lumineers® System Veneers

Dental Magnification Loupes
Excellent dental care requires attention to detail and exacting precision. We must work in very small spaces and be accurate to a fraction of a millimeter. To help us, our doctors use the same special prismatic magnification glasses, or “loupes,” that surgeons use. Yes, we take your teeth that seriously!
