Panoramic digital x-rays

Our panoramic digital x-ray machine provides a two-dimensional, panoramic view of your mouth, enabling your dentists to see the full scope of your teeth and jaw in a single x-ray.

VistaClear™ water filtration system

We want to make sure that the water we use to cleanse and rinse everything in our office, from our hands and instruments to your teeth and gums, is free from bacteria or contamination. That's why, when we built our new office, we installed a VistaClear water filtration system to service all of our treatment rooms and preparation areas.

VistaClear systems do not use any chemicals to treat the water that is delivered to the operatories. Multiple stages of filtration are used to eliminate bacterial and chemical contamination. The result is clear, clean, filtered water in every part of our facility.

Air Abrasion with Prophy Jet

Air abrasion is a drill-less technique for removing tooth decay and for other minimally invasive applications. An advanced tool for micro-dentistry, Air Abrasion is ideal for cleaning out pits and fissures and for treating cavities in children and in little spots.

The Prophy Jet system is great for removing stains and for getting old bonding material off of a tooth so that a new restoration can be done.

We also use the Isolite™ system, a device that helps illuminate your mouth and isolate specific areas for us to work on. It fits comfortably in your mouth and reduces jaw fatigue because you don't have to hold your mouth open.

Using the Air Abrasion technique with the Isolite device is another way that our dentists make sure that your visits are faster and more comfortable.

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras are special digital cameras that take images of your mouth and enable your dentist to show you an enlarged image of your smile on a computer screen.

Learn more about our intraoral cameras.

Orascoptic loupes

All of our dentists use these hi-res tools to help them see exactly what they are doing as they treat your teeth and gums. They allow precise magnification so that even the smallest issues in your mouth can be seen and dealt with.

 

Nobel guided implant system

For complicated implant cases, Dr. Gray uses an innovative computer-aided design system called NobelGuide to plan your dental implant surgery. This system digitally integrates planned future prosthetic teeth together with a full 3D x-ray view of a your anatomy. NobelGuide allows Dr. Gray to diagnose, plan and implement treatments for all implant cases – from single tooth implants to full-mouth restoration – all on his computer, before he begins your surgery.

Because he is able to fully examine your jaw and bone structure from all angles, he can anticipate and avoid any difficulties that would otherwise remain undetected until surgery was underway. This ensures that you receive minimally invasive surgery, fully effective implants, and minimizes discomfort, swelling and recovery time.

Snap!™ Cosmetic imaging

Our dentists use digital photography to visualize your cosmetic makeover before beginning treatment. Together you can use Snap! Cosmetic Imaging to see what your smile will look like after treatment. That way you know you're getting the smile you've always wanted.

VELscope™ oral cancer screening

The Velscope is a very powerful tool that helps your dentist discover soft-tissue abnormalities in your mouth. By shining the special VELscope light into your mouth, in just two minutes, with no rinses, stains or discomfort, a VELscope examination lets your dentist assess the health of your gums and tissues.

Invisalign™

The Invisalign treatment consists of a series of invisible plastic aligners that you change about every two weeks as your teeth change.

They are completely removable, and virtually invisible – the best way to straighten your teeth without interfering with your life.

Learn more about Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces.

Lumibrite teeth whitening

In-office whitening will lighten your teeth by up to 8 shades in about an hour.

DIAGNOdent™

Our dentists use a tiny laser to check your teeth for tooth decay. The laser probe detects even the smallest problems before they become large, and it does so comfortably.

Diode laser gum treatment

We use our diode laser, designed for the soft-tissues of the mouth, to help us remove and kill bacteria that cause gum disease, and to shape gum tissues for cosmetic and implant dental surgeries. The laser is extremely precise, which encourages rapid healing and comfortable treatment.
