Holistic Dentistry

Digital x-rays are central to our commitment to safe, comprehensive dental care. This advanced technology provides clear, high-resolution images of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures, giving us a complete picture of your oral health. 

With digital x-rays, we can:

• Spot cavities early 
• Assess tooth roots 
• Detect gum disease 
• Monitor children’s growth 
• Plan and monitor orthodontic care

Types of X-Rays We Use

• Intra-oral – These are taken inside the mouth and provide the most detailed images of teeth, bones and gums.
• Extra-oral – These are taken outside the mouth, like cone beam CT scans, which offer a broader view of the jaw and facial structures.
• 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional – From traditional flat views to full 3-D images, we capture exactly what we need to make the best treatment decisions.

Why Digital X-Rays?

Our digital x-rays are a key part of our holistic approach because they offer:

• Low radiation 
• Instant results 
• Eco-friendly 
• No harsh chemicals
• Enhanced storage and sharing 

We’re here to answer any questions you might have about digital x-rays or any part of our care approach. 

An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that allows us to capture detailed images of the inside of your mouth and gives you a close-up view of what we see during your exam. This tool is incredibly helpful for patient education because it allows you to understand any concerns we find, from cavities and gum inflammation to cracks or worn-out dental work. With high-resolution images displayed in real-time, you can feel more involved in your care and make informed decisions about treatments with confidence. 

We’ve made significant investments in advanced laser technology to provide safe, comfortable and highly effective treatments tailored to your needs. Our diverse laser options feature various wavelengths, allowing us to address dental issues non-invasively and precisely.

• Infected Implants — Lasers effectively clean bacteria from around infected implants, preserving both the implant and surrounding bone structure.
• Examinations — Low-intensity lasers help detect decay in hard-to-reach areas and can identify early-stage cavities.
• Oral Cancer Screening — Our lasers facilitate precise tissue biopsies for accurate cancer diagnosis and other potential issues.
• Teeth Whitening — Laser-activated whitening treatments speed up and improve the effectiveness of in-office whitening procedures.
