Intraoral Camera
Like digital x-rays, digital photographs with our intraoral camera are a useful diagnostic and patient education tool.

Soft Tissue Laser
Lasers are extremely precise and can help shorten the duration of almost any general dental procedure. Because they eliminate the need for scalpels and sutures, lasers also help minimize pain and speed the healing process, especially in the soft tissues. We use our minimally invasive diode laser in a variety of applications, from deep cleanings and gum surgery to cosmetic gum reshaping.

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are made of a mercury-free composite material that can be closely matched to your other healthy teeth. They are virtually undetectable to the eye, and because they can be bonded directly to the surface of your teeth, they often leave behind more healthy tooth structure than traditional silver fillings.
