 DIAGNOdent is a fiber optic laser device that lets us detect cavities early in the disease process – before they cause pain or destroy much of the tooth. This lets us save more of the tooth and provide an optimal restoration: one that looks and acts as natural as possible. We also use cold lasers for a variety of dental treatments, from reducing pain to disinfecting surgical sites to stimulating cellular regeneration and tissue growth.
 VelScope is a screening tool that lets us look beneath the mouth's soft tissues for leisons and abnormal growths that may indicate beginning oral cancers - conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye during a regular dental exam. It uses a blue excitation light which makes healthy areas appear fluorescent and problem areas, dark. Thus, we can catch problems much earlier in the disease process and treat them before they overwhelm.
Digital imaging allows us to take superior quality x-rays of your teeth with minimum exposure to radiation. Because the images are digital, you can see them in real time with us – and see how your dental health has evolved, as we can easily compare images on the computer. And because of the higher image quality, we can catch potential problems such as decay and bone loss much earlier in the disease process.
Tek-Scan is an imaging system that shows how your teeth come together. We can see places where your bite may be "off" or where there is an imbalance of force when you close your jaw – conditions that can contribute to jaw, face, neck and shoulder pain. Tek-Scan lets us get a better read on your situation so we can effectively and efficiently correct factors that may be contributing to your pain.
BioJVA (joint vibrational analysis) is a diagnostic tool that lets us take fast, non-invasive and repeatable measurements of a person's TMJ function by determining the amount and kind of vibration at the joints. It lets us diagnose dysfunction more specifically, and, because it is repeatable, we can easily measure your progress through treatment.
 The Cavitat is an imaging system that uses sonogram-like technology to detect areas of osteonecrosis (dead and decaying tissues) and infection that are almost impossible to detect with x-rays. Once detected, the sites can be cleaned out and the body, unburdened of its toxic load so it can heal. Bar none, the Cavitat is the best tool we have for identifying these otherwise hidden sites of disease.
EAV is a diagnostic tool for evaluating how energy is moving – or not moving – along your bodyís meridians, based upon the traditional Chinese practice of acupuncture. It gives us another way of seeing the relationships between dental conditions and systemic effects – that is, how your oral conditions are affecting the health of the rest of your body. EAV is also useful for limited testing of dental restorative materials for biocompatibility.
The NeuroSCENAR 97.4+ is a therapeutic tool for pain management and stress reduction. It can also be used to speed healing and reduce swelling and infection risks after dental surgery. Such non-invasive, drug-free therapy is done by sending low-voltage electrical signals to the brain via the nerves, activating the bodyís ability to heal itself. The device taps into the natural pharmacy of the body, releasing bioactive neuropeptides that gradually and gently restore the bodyís natural balance.
