We believe in providing our patients with modern, innovative dental services. To improve the quality of care you receive, we have incorporated the latest advancements in the dental field into our practice. This enhances our commitment to provide safe dental procedures in a caring, friendly environment. Our in-office technology includes: Digital X-RaysCompared to traditional x-rays, digital x-rays produce instantaneous images, which can be viewed on treatment room televisions and computer monitors. In addition, this diagnostic technique is safer for patients and the environment, as it uses one-tenth the radiation of conventional dental x-rays, does not require the use of harsh processing chemicals, and has no harmful disposal products. Intraoral CamerasAn intraoral camera is a pen-sized, camera-tipped wand that your dental hygienist or dentist uses to take digital images and examine your mouth. This tool gives you and your dentist an honest survey of your mouth and can show how your at-home dental care is paying off. Automated Instrument Disinfector (AID)In an effort to offer our patients the best and most up-to-date sterilization process, the AID was incorporated into our practice. After use, the instruments are wiped with a cleaning solution in the treatment rooms, placed in stainless steel holders (cassettes), taken to the AID, processed and disinfected. The cassettes are taken from the AID wrapped and sterilized in a steam autoclave. The sterile pouches of tools are opened in the treatment room just prior to the patient’s appointment.
