When it comes to getting a “Novacaine” shot, patients hate two things: getting the shot and the numb feeling long after the procedure is done. We now have the technology available to only numb select teeth while keeping the rest of your mouth unaffected during a dental procedure. And the injection for that single tooth is virtually painless. By concentrating or localizing the numbed area more precisely, we enable you to leave the office without the typical “drooping face” of traditional numbing. The STA process results in far less residual discomfort after the procedure, too, and most patients are able to eat again right after their appointment!

Using less than half the amount of radiation of traditional film radiographs, our x-rays are captured digitally and they immediately appear on the computer screen for review. Digital x-rays provide an instantaneous image that can be manipulated for maximum sharpness and accuracy, giving a high-def overview of your teeth. Although digital radiography is an example of emerging technology in dental offices today, we have provided this service to our patients for nearly 10 years!

Surgical microscopes have been utilized in medical surgery and ophthalmology for many years. But we have used a surgical microscope for nearly 10 years in order to create the finest, most well-fitting crowns and veneers for our patients. Traditionally, microscopes have been used in dental specialists’ offices (such as root canal and gum specialists) but as technology enables us to become increasingly precise, a surgical microscope becomes simply indispensible!

Our Panorex digital camera rotates 360 degrees around your head and instantly produces a high-definition view of every tooth in your mouth – including wisdom teeth. This clear picture allows us to quickly rule out infections, TMJ issues and other pathology – as well as determine the exact location of wisdom teeth – so early and effective treatment plans may be formulated before you experience any pain or discomfort.
