Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art
technology to enhance patient comfort and to help you get
the smile you deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
| Digital x-rays
can now be taken using phosphorous plates that transmit
the image directly into our computer. This permanently
stores the image in your file and allows comparisons of
past x-rays with current ones. The doctor, then, can see
the progression of dental changes over time. The large
computer image from the digital x-rays helps the doctor
see greater detail and enables the doctor to zoom in on
a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to
this new technology is that it reduces the amount of radiation
by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster. The digital image
only takes a minute or two to appear on the monitor. In
addition, this new technology is friendly to the environment
since no chemicals are needed for developing the image. |

 VELscope Vx - State of the Art Oral Cancer Detection Technology
 Our office is excited to introduce the latest in oral cancer detection technology. Oral cancer are aggressive growths that can invade the tongue, roof of the mouth, gums and cheek. In the United States, an estimated 36,450 new cases of cancer of the oral cavity are diagnosed annually. Risk factors that increase the incidence of oral cancer include alcohol, tobacco, human papilloma virus (HPV).
Our office uses a device called the VELscope Vx which provides enhanced vision when it comes to detecting abnormal tissue areas that might not be visible to the naked eye, including oral cancer and premaligmant dysplasias (pre-cancerous lesions) and FDA approved.
Come visit our office to have your mouth screened for oral cancer and take a positive step towards improving your overall oral health! |
 OralCDx
OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection,
a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the
prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the
last 50 years.
OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It
allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect
oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.
Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars”
missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes
a neural network-based image processing system specifically
adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy
samples.
 Intraoral
Camera
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic wand to easily
take vivid photographs of the inside of your mouth. This allows
us to let you see what we see. We are able to print photos
for you to take home at the time of your visit.
Veneers
 New
technology in veneer fabrication allows us to perform dazzling
transformations with minimal surface preparation.
White fillings
 Although
white fillings have been around for a long time, the new materials
can now be used in a wider range of applications allowing
you to keep your smile as white as it can be!
