For complex cases, we use i-CAT® 3D imaging to create detailed, three-dimensional scans of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This technology is especially useful for dental implants, TMJ analysis, and orthodontic planning.

Early detection of oral cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Our VELscope® technology allows us to detect abnormalities in oral tissues that may not be visible to the naked eye.

We recommend annual screenings for:

• Smokers or tobacco users
• Patients with a family history of oral cancer
• Anyone with persistent mouth sores or lumps

Dental sealants protect the deep grooves of molars and premolars from cavities. This quick and painless procedure is especially beneficial for children and teens but can also help adults prevent decay.

A panoramic X-ray captures a full view of your teeth, jawbone, and sinuses, helping us evaluate:

• Wisdom teeth positioning
• Jaw alignment issues
• Bone health and potential cysts or tumors

Good oral hygiene starts with the right tools. We guide our patients in choosing the best toothbrushes, floss, and other hygiene products to maintain excellent oral health at home.

Our intraoral cameras provide high-definition images of your teeth and gums, allowing us to show you real-time visuals of any concerns. This tool helps you better understand your oral health and the treatments we recommend.

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments as part of your regular visits, especially for patients prone to tooth decay.

Benefits of fluoride:

• Remineralizes weakened enamel
• Prevents cavities in children and adults
• Safe, quick, and effective application

Digital X-rays offer a detailed look at your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, helping us diagnose issues such as:

• Hidden cavities
• Root infections
• Impacted teeth
• Bone loss due to gum disease

Our advanced digital radiographs (X-rays) provide high-resolution images with less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays. These images allow us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other concerns before they become serious issues.

Routine dental exams and cleanings are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. We recommend scheduling a checkup every six months to maintain a healthy smile.

Our exams include:

• Professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
• Thorough examination of teeth and gums
• Digital X-rays for early detection of dental concerns
