Modern Dental Technology

Technology in the dental field is ever-changing, so we make sure to stay on the cutting edge by integrating state-of-the-art equipment into our practice. This allows us to diagnose with more accuracy and treat patients with less pain and in fewer visits. It also equals less time in the dental chair and a more comfortable experience from start to finish. We use only the best materials and methods to ensure stunning and reliable results time after time.

At Smile Science Dental Spa, we’re dedicated to making sure that our patients have a convenient, positive, and stress-free experience. From our warm, welcoming lobby to our modern treatment rooms, you can rest assured that our team will take great care of you!

The MicronMapper is an advanced photogrammetry tool that has significantly improved the precision and success rate of dental implant procedures. By providing highly detailed 3D scans of a patient’s mouth, the MicronMapper allows us to plan implant placements with incredible accuracy. This precision ensures that implants are positioned optimally, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing the overall success of the procedure.

For patients, the use of the MicronMapper means a more predictable and comfortable experience. The detailed imaging helps us avoid critical structures like nerves and sinuses, minimizing the chances of postoperative issues. Additionally, the improved accuracy can lead to shorter surgery times and faster recovery periods.

CBCT stands for ConeBeam Computed Tomography, which is a special type of digital x-ray scanner that dentists use to see a 3D image of your mouth and teeth.

The ConeBeam CT imaging system rotates once around your head while you stand or sit in a chair. The process is quick, simple, and completely painless. We use these scans to provide the best treatment in dental implants, root canals, diagnosis of dental and facial pain, and more.

We can evaluate your teeth and facial structures from literally every angle, in 3D, and in color. Routine x-rays, on the other hand, produce a single flat image with limited information. You can have absolute confidence and satisfaction in the treatment you receive, knowing we’ve analyzed every problem with 3D technology.

We use the MaxRay handheld digital X-ray -- a significant upgrade over both traditional film and older wall-mounted digital X-ray systems. MaxRay delivers instant high-resolution images at a fraction of the radiation dose of film, with no darkroom, no chemicals, and no waiting.

Handheld portability means we can position the sensor exactly where it needs to be for each patient, including those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Images appear on screen in seconds and can be enlarged, color-mapped, and compared side-by-side. No more squinting at blurry film held up to a light box -- every millimeter of bone and tissue is clearly visible at diagnosis time.

We use the Brasseler BLU soft tissue laser -- a precision pen-shaped wand that allows us to remove suspicious or bothersome tissue in a couple of minutes. The healing stimulated by laser energy leads to rapid recovery with little to no discomfort and no stitches required.

Gums can be quickly reshaped without bleeding, and some gum infections are now treated with rapid results. Even cold sores or mouth ulcers can undergo faster healing when laser energy passes over the surface. The Brasseler BLU is safe for use with patients of all ages, including children.
