Advanced Imaging & Diagnostics
We use several advanced imaging tools to accurately visualize the teeth, bone, and soft tissues of the mouth—all in a safe, low-radiation environment.
4D CT Scanning & Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
- Creates high-resolution, 3D scans of your entire jaw
- Ideal for dental implant planning and surgical procedures
- Allows for precise measurements and mapping of nerve pathways
- Helps detect cysts, bone loss, and anatomical complications
This technology gives us a complete, 360-degree view of your oral structures so we can plan treatments with confidence and avoid surprises.
Digital X-rays
- Up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays
- Instant on-screen imaging
- Enhanced detail for spotting small cavities or bone loss
- Easy to store, share, and compare over time
Digital X-rays are faster, safer, and more comfortable—especially for patients who dislike long appointments.
Nomad Handheld X-ray System
Our Nomad handheld X-ray device makes it easier to get targeted images with less discomfort and faster processing—especially useful for emergency care or pediatric dentistry.
Laser Dentistry
Our dental laser system NightLase lets us treat soft tissues more comfortably and efficiently than traditional tools. This technology is ideal for patients who want less pain, less bleeding, and faster healing.
Soft Tissue Therapy
We use laser treatment for:
- Gum contouring
- Tongue-tie release
- Ulcer or sore spot relief
- Speeding up healing of oral soft tissue wounds
The precision of the laser allows for minimally invasive procedures, often without the need for stitches or extended downtime.
Snoring & Sleep Improvement with NightLase
NightLase is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to reduce snoring and improve sleep by tightening soft tissues in the throat and airway.
Benefits include:
- Improved airflow and less nighttime obstruction
- No surgery or devices required
- Comfortable, walk-in/walk-out treatment
- Safe for long-term use with no downtime
It’s ideal for patients who snore but want to avoid CPAP machines or invasive procedures. We often recommend NightLase for patients experiencing sleep-related issues due to airway collapse.
