Computer Smile Imaging  is a digital wand is used to change the shape and color of teeth on the patients own image in order to illustrate the end results of a smile makeover.  Patients can see their own smile and can decide how they want their smile to look before the process begins.

Computerized Digital Radiography (CDR)  is also known as “digital x-rays” that utilizes an electronic sensor instead of x-ray film.  CDR delivers superior images instantaneously on a screen without using chemicals for developing.  Most importantly,  CDR uses 90% less radiation than conventional film x-rays.

Intra-Oral Camera is a pen-shaped micro camera that takes close up photos of the teeth and gums, allowing patients to see what the doctor sees.  Patients can then make informed decisions regarding their dental treatment.

TAP™ Device for Snoring& Sleep Apnea are conditions caused by a constricted or collapsed airway.  Therefore this device, which is an oral appliance similar to an athletic mouth guard, is worn while sleeping to maintain an open airway which reduces snoring and improves breathing.

Porcelain Veneers is also known as porcelain laminates, are wafer thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth to idealize teeth that are worn, chipped, discolored, crooked or
mis-shapen to create a more youthful, healthy looking smile.

Self-Contained Water System is an independent water system or reservoir in the dental operatory that isolates the dental unit from the municipal water supply.  Therefore, water running through the dental lines comes from reservoirs filled with distilled water that is filled and maintained by the office staff.  This allows the practice to control the quality of water used in the unit.

Self-contained water systems provide a means for introducing chemical agents to waterlines to effectively remove or inactivate biofilm and therefore controlling the microbiologic quality of the water. (guidelines from the Organization for Safety & Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) Foundation)
