Our In-Office Dental Technologies

We’ve carefully selected modern tools that enhance patient care and improve outcomes across all services:

Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography produces detailed images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. These images help us identify decay, infections, and bone loss quickly and safely.

Panoramic X-Rays

A full-mouth, 2D image of the entire upper and lower jaw, panoramic X-rays are essential for planning wisdom teeth removal, implants, or other oral surgeries.

Intraoral Cameras

These small, pen-sized cameras allow us to show you high-resolution images of your teeth and gums on a monitor. They're especially helpful in explaining cracked teeth, worn fillings, and signs of gum disease.

Digital Impressions (iTero Scanner)

No more messy impression trays. Our iTero digital scanner creates accurate 3D models of your teeth in minutes. Perfect for crowns, dentures, HealthyStart®, and more.

Nomad Handheld X-Ray

This portable X-ray device offers added flexibility and comfort during imaging — especially helpful for pediatric patients or those with mobility concerns.
