Digital X-Ray
- Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large percentage of the dental industry. A digital x-ray allows the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program which allows the dentist to gain a better view of your teeth, gums, and bones.
- As a benefit to the patient, the digital x-ray provides nearly 80% less radiation than a standard x-ray.
- This is due to the fact that the digital version of the x-ray is much more sensitive to this radiation and has been specifically designed with the patient in mind.

OPG
- A OPG is a form of x-ray which is capable of identifying many issues and structures that a normal x-ray is not. When indicated, you will stand with your chin on a small ledge. Once positioned in the machine, it will rotate around your entire head taking a full 360 degree view of the teeth, head, sinuses and bones.
- The ability to view the full structure of your head as a whole is very informative to the dentist. It will allow us to see any potential problems and make sure that everything is functioning as it should be.

Laser Dentistry
- We use an advanced dental laser to gently and effectively treat the ravages of gum disease usually without numbing anaesthesia. It helps stop the progression of tooth-destroying and bone-destroying disease. Laser treatment helps to eliminate the need for conventional, often painful, gum surgery in up to 75% of cases. The laser can also be used to gently and artistically refashion the gum line. It can turn short teeth or a gummy smile into the smile you've always wanted. It also improves the result and accuracy of complicated dental procedures.

Rotary Endodontics
- Rotary Endodontics is a way of performing the root canal utilizing a specific electrical hand-piece. This tool often makes the process faster and allows the dentist to perform the process with greater ease and precision.

Intra Oral Camera
- The intraoral camera gives us the ability to view the entire mouth on a monitor so that we can get a closer look at any potential issues or problems that may arise. In addition, the patient will have the ability to see for themselves first hand how things look inside of their mouth. This gives us an opportunity to better explain the procedures we are recommending so the patient has a greater understanding of what needs to be treated or areas of the mouth they need to focus more on in their daily hygiene routine. These digital images are also excellent for gaining procedure acceptance from insurance companies.
