What’s in the room, and why it matters.

Most practices list the same gear. The difference is whether it’s actually used on every case.

iTero digital scanner

Replaces gooey impression putty with a small wand that scans your teeth in minutes. Used for crowns, Invisalign, veneers, night guards, and any case where we need a precise digital twin of your mouth.

CBCT 3D imaging (when warranted)

A cone-beam CT scanner produces a precise three-dimensional map of your jaw bone, nerves, and sinuses. We use it selectively for complex root canals, TMJ work, and full-mouth rehabilitation planning — never as a routine substitute for ordinary X-rays. Radiation dose is a fraction of a medical CT and only slightly more than a panoramic X-ray.

CEREC same-day crowns

An in-office milling unit that lets us design and place a final ceramic crown in a single appointment for most crown cases. No temporary, no waiting two weeks.

Surgical microscope

For the cases that need it — root canals, veneer prep margins, micro-restorative work — a surgical microscope lets us see what other dentists cannot.

Soft-tissue laser

A diode laser for precise gum reshaping when a smile makeover calls for it, or for soft-tissue procedures that used to require a scalpel. Less bleeding, faster healing.

Digital X-ray (low-dose)

Modern digital sensors deliver crisp images with roughly 80% less radiation than the analog film X-rays of a generation ago.
