Intraoral scanners allow us to view your teeth, gums, and bite with extremely high accuracy in real-time with a small handheld digital scanner. This provides our oral surgeon the ability to plan surgical cases, print dental models, and create teeth digitally without the need for messy, gag-inducing impressions.
X-Guide is a 3D dynamic navigation system that enhances treatment planning and accuracy of dental implant surgery. It offers precise guidance on the position, depth, and angle of implant placement, improving the predictability and accuracy of the procedure.

Invented by a passionate dentist, this cutting-edge dental laser treats gum disease and regenerates bone and soft tissues destroyed by periodontal disease.

Our office features the AccuVein® system to enhance the accuracy of IV placement for sedation. Utilizing near-infrared (NIR) vein visualization technology, this system helps our team identify optimal vein targets before inserting the IV. As a result, we achieve a higher first-attempt success rate and minimize discomfort for patients with challenging venous access.
The Osstell ISQ machine measures the stability of a dental implant, allowing the surgeon to monitor the osseointegration process—essentially, how well the implant is fusing with the jawbone. By assessing implant stability during this critical healing phase, our surgeon can effectively track your progress and determine the optimal time for you to receive your implant-supported restoration from your dentist.
Our CBCT scanner enables us to capture highly detailed images of your mouth and the supporting structures within. CBCT scans are essential for patients seeking dental implants, the removal of deeply impacted teeth, evaluation of pathology like cysts, the removal of tori, and evaluation of the jaw as they allow us to see bone volume, nerve location and position of existing tooth roots. CBCT scans make your treatment plans much more accurate and can help to plan treatment digitally to improve long-term surgical success.
PRF or platelet-rich-fibrin is produced from the patient’s own blood as a regenerative material. PRF helps the body repair itself at an accelerated rate while also likely decreasing common post-operative symptoms like swelling and discomfort.
