Technology

Technology Behind Each Visit

Diagnosis and Planning

  • iTero Element ScannerA digital 3D scan of your teeth replaces most trays of impression putty, for crowns, aligners and appliances.
  • Vatech CT ScanThree-dimensional imaging of the jaw and bone, used when planning implants, extractions and airway care.
  • Identafi Oral Cancer ScreeningA light-based exam of the soft tissues of the mouth that helps spot changes worth a closer look.

Comfort and Bite

  • The WandComputer-controlled delivery of local anesthetic, given slowly and steadily for a gentler numbing.
  • TENS and K7Used in TMJ and bite care: TENS relaxes the jaw muscles and K7 records how the jaw moves.
  • Sedation OptionsConscious sedation and anxiety management for patients who find dental visits hard.
