Digital CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is the gold standard in treatment planning. It allows us to get a full 3D scan of your teeth, jaws, and airways right out of the gate, so our dentists can evaluate your full smile and create the best procedure for you. We can also not only see the outer structures of your tooth but take a “slice” at different levels and layers to get a better understanding of its inner workings. Compared to traditional radiography, modern CBCT technology allows us to use a minimal amount of radiation while achieving more accurate images and results.

Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of dental X-ray. They allow our dentists to get a detailed look at your teeth and jaws to track their development and catch any current or expected issues early. However, by using digital X-rays, we can get an instant scan of your smile with less radiation required. The software used also allows us to compare your current smile with previous X-rays to track your current treatment’s progress.

Dental microscopes let our dentists go beyond the limits of regular dental cameras, digital X-rays, and scans for a closer view of your smile. With enhanced magnification, we can get even better accuracy and precision for understanding the intricacies of your unique smile. In turn, this helps us diagnose and treat your dental problems better. Dental microscope technology also works alongside our digital cameras for better imaging and documentation.

Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) is at the forefront of TMJ assessment and diagnosis. When the jaw joints are healthy and aligned, they produce a low level of friction and vibration as the sliding hinge of the discs slide open and closed. However, misaligned and damaged joints create more friction and vibrations. With JVA’s sensors, our specialists can accurately understand the precise movements of your jaws’ joints in a 4-dimensional space. With thorough and proper analysis, we can diagnose our patients’ specific TMJ issues and create the best treatment plan that matches their specific needs.

Rather than relying on scalpels, our office uses a LightScalpel CO2 laser for suture-less frenectomies, such as lip tie and tongue tie release. Not only does this prevent bleeding and post-treatment infections, but the entire process is made quicker and more precise. In many cases, our dentists can complete it in less than 10 seconds. Laser therapy also promotes cell regeneration, so your child recovers faster and more effectively.

A rhinometer is used during your Nasal Breathing Screening to test your airways for any obstruction or compromise. It creates a short but powerful pulse of sound waves through your nasal cavity to map the location and severity of any airway obstructions. It is entirely noninvasive and can be finished in just 30 seconds.
