Diode Laser: The Odyssey diode laser is dentistry’s most user-friendly soft tissue laser to date. With a simplified control panel, it allows the doctor to use it with an accurate power output and a consistent wavelength for a smooth, precise and clean procedure. The laser creates an intense beam of light energy that moves through a fiber optic cord. When it enters the targeted tissue, the energy is converted into heat as a result of the tissue’s pigmentation.

The primary use of a soft tissue laser is the modification or removal of intra-oral soft tissue. The effects of the laser’s energy allow the doctor to modify tissue and to control the area. The post-operative response of the laser treatment will usually produce a cleaner and healthier site with less discomfort when compared to alternative methods. Additional benefits of the laser are the ability to treat deep gingival pockets that harbor bacteria causing gum disease and to reduce the pain and longevity of cold sores. Please don’t hesitate to ask us if you have any other questions regarding this amazing technology. 

Digital Panoramic and Cephalometric X-Rays: designed for enhanced image quality, flexibility and functionality. With the superior patient positioning system, it provides a clear, crisp, clinically diagnostic image every time. The flexibility of the unit also allows us to utilize it at virtually any height, including those in wheelchairs. The images also seamlessly integrate with our dental software enabling our patients and staff to view them in any one of our operatories or to have the availability to e-mail the images to a specialist as needed.

They also can reduce radiation by as much as 90% compared to conventional x-rays and saves you time in the chair, as they do not require developing. (Click here for more information.)

Computers: our computer system and software just recently saw a complete overhaul and upgrade. It is designed to efficiently manage the most complex information in the dental industry. Our system handles everything from the routine billing cycles to the detailed treatment plans. The amazing mechanics of our software is that it all integrates with our digital x-rays, insurance companies and ordering of dental supplies. We make sure our computer system takes cares of the technicalities so it will allow us to provide our patients the most up-to-date information available.
