Forms of Dental Technology We Provide
3D Dental Imaging
Our 3D dental imaging technology offers detailed views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This allows us to diagnose complex cases and plan treatments with unparalleled precision.
3D Printing
Along with our imaging, we can 3D print models of your teeth. This allows us to make your retainers in-house, which saves you from having to make multiple appointments
Dental Monitoring App
This instrument is employed to accurately measure the length of the root canal, allowing the dentist to assess the file’s placement in relation to the root’s apex. This assists in ensuring the canal is thoroughly cleared of debris, thereby minimizing the likelihood of future issues.
Laser Therapies
Our advanced laser therapies assist with orthodontic tooth movement. By boosting the biological process, we can accelerate treatment and reduce discomfort.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
For complex orthodontic cases, TADs provide a secure anchor to help move teeth more effectively. These small, temporary devices offer a targeted solution for creating beautiful, symmetrical smiles.
