Piezotronic Ultrasonic Cleaner

Everyone with natural teeth needs a thorough cleaning about twice a year. It is a known fact that regular cleanings prolong the life of your teeth and gums. We use an advanced ultrasonic scaler to painlessly remove the tartar and calculus from around your gumlines. Not only is it a painless procedure, it is more thorough and takes less time than doing it manually. You will notice a squeaky clean in your mouth immediately!

Internet based claims transmission

Since we are subscribed to the iTrans and CDANet systems, we can transmit dental insurance claims and estimates within seconds to your insurance carriers and get responses right away rather than waiting three weeks doing it the paper-based way. Faster turn around times!

Digital Panoramic X-Ray Machine

A panoramic X-ray is a wide-angled wraparound view of the maxillofacial region that includes not just the teeth and jawbone, but also includes a very clear view of the maxillary sinuses, nasal septum, complete lower jaw, including the jaw joint condyles (TMJ), and surrounding structures. A good way to do a general radiographic exam of the lower face, it also allows us to look for impacted wisdom teeth, supernumerary teeth, dental abscesses and tumors of the jaw. In children, it helps detect any abnormal growth patterns and congenitally missing teeth besides being a great tool to explain various points to the patient. Being a digital image, a very low dose of radiation is used to acquire it and is a very safe diagnostic tool. Also recommended for routine BiteWing Xrays in patients that gag easily or cannot tolerate digital X-ray sensors inside the mouth.
