Technology in Dentistry

Dr. Denny combines his expert skills and the latest dental technology to deliver you the best care with long-lasting results.

Technological advancements in dentistry enables dentists to:

  • work more efficiently, saving you time in the dental chair.
  • get close-up views of hard-to-see areas, making the exam more thorough and comfortable.
  • dental technology helps save money. Due to the enhanced accuracy and precise treatments, you won’t have to make frequent dental visits.

iTero Scanner

The ITero Digital Scanner allows technicians to take exact 3D digital images of your mouth. These digital impressions are much more precise than a regular dental impression, and the results are fast and accurate. The ITero Digital Scanner was designed with patient comfort in mind, and it does not expose patients to any radiation.

Intra-oral camera

An intraoral camera helps dentists obtain a clear view of hard-to-see areas. The camera also takes videos and still images which help assess and diagnose dental cavities, plaque formation, gum diseases, chipped or cracked teeth, broken dental fillings, and other oral cavity conditions.

Digital X-ray

Digital X-rays provide a detailed view of teeth and surrounding tissue not visible by an oral exam alone. They are used to detect dental problems early on – saving you money and unnecessary discomfort. Another benefit is that digital dental X-ray equipment exposes you to far lower levels of radiation than traditional X-rays.

Soft Tissue Laser

Soft tissue laser treatments are used for a variety of reasons including gingivectomies, ablating and removing ulcerous tissue or soft tissue lesions, and frenectomies. Soft tissue lasers use varying power levels and wavelengths; yet generate minimal heat. When soft tissue lasers are used, instead of traditional surgical methods, stitches and periodontal packing may not be required.
