Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures that every aspect of your treatment is performed with precision, comfort, and efficiency. By utilizing these cutting-edge tools, we aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline procedures, and improve overall patient experience. Here’s a closer look at the innovative technologies we use to deliver exceptional dental care.

Intraoral Camera

Our intraoral camera is a remarkable tool that allows for a detailed, real-time view of your mouth. By capturing high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, this technology provides a comprehensive look at areas that are often difficult to visualize. The images are displayed on a monitor, enabling both you and Dr. Omid to see exactly what is happening in your mouth. This enhanced visibility supports accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Additionally, it helps educate patients about their dental health by visually explaining the need for specific treatments, making it a valuable tool in promoting a better understanding of your oral health.

Digital X-Ray

Digital X-rays represent a significant advancement over traditional X-ray technology, able to provide numerous benefits for both patients and dental professionals. This technology utilizes a digital sensor to capture images of your teeth and bones, producing clear, detailed results with much lower radiation exposure. Moreover, the images are available almost instantly, allowing for rapid diagnosis and treatment decisions. Additionally, the reduced radiation and immediate results contribute to a safer and more efficient diagnostic process. Digital X-rays also facilitate better record-keeping and easier sharing of information with specialists if needed, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

CT Scan

The CT scan technology at our practice provides a detailed 3D view of your oral structures, including teeth, bone, and soft tissues. This advanced imaging technique is essential for diagnosing complex dental issues that require a thorough understanding of the anatomical relationships within the mouth. With high-resolution images, the CT scan assists Dr. Omid in planning precise treatments, such as dental implants or complex extractions. The comprehensive nature of CT imaging ensures that no aspect of your oral health is overlooked, leading to more effective and targeted treatment strategies.

Laser

Our use of laser technology in dental care brings precision and versatility to a wide range of procedures. Dental lasers are employed for both soft and hard tissue treatments, including gum reshaping, cavity preparation, and tissue removal. Lasers are also used for advanced procedures such as laser whitening, which provides a quicker, more comfortable way to achieve brighter teeth.

The benefits of laser treatment include reduced discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing times compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the precision of lasers enhances the accuracy of treatments while preserving healthy tissue, making dental care more efficient and patient-friendly.

EPIC X™

The EPIC X™ is a cutting-edge laser tool that embodies our commitment to utilizing the most advanced technology in dental care. This innovative device offers biostimulation for reducing inflammation and promoting healing, as well as laser tooth whitening for achieving a brighter smile.

The EPIC X™ features multiple modes that can be tailored to your specific needs, enhancing both comfort and effectiveness. By incorporating this technology into our practice, we can provide faster, more efficient treatments that help you resume your daily routine with minimal disruption. The versatility and speed of the EPIC X™ make it a valuable addition to our dental practice.

Biolase Waterlase iPlus®

The Biolase Waterlase iPlus® combines laser energy with a gentle water spray to perform various dental procedures with exceptional precision. This technology is ideal for treating both hard and soft tissues, such as removing decay, reshaping gums, and performing minimally invasive surgeries. The dual action of laser and water minimizes discomfort and reduces the need for anesthesia, leading to a more comfortable patient experience. The Waterlase iPlus® promotes faster healing and recovery, enhancing overall treatment outcomes while preserving healthy tissues. Its versatility makes it an essential tool for delivering high-quality dental care.

Panorex

Our Panorex X-ray system provides a comprehensive, panoramic view of your entire mouth, capturing images of all your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures in a single shot. This wide-angle imaging is invaluable for diagnosing conditions that may not be visible through standard X-rays, such as impacted teeth, bone loss, and jaw abnormalities. The Panorex X-ray allows for a complete evaluation of your oral health, supporting more accurate and effective treatment planning. Its ability to provide a broad overview of your dental structures enhances our diagnostic capabilities and ensures a thorough approach to your care.

iTero Digital Impression

The iTero digital impression system is a modern alternative to traditional mold-based impressions, capturing highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums with ease. This technology eliminates the discomfort of traditional impressions and provides immediate, precise digital models that are used for various treatments, including orthodontics and restorations.

The iTero system enhances the efficiency of the impression process, reduces the likelihood of errors, and allows for quicker turnaround times in treatment planning. By using digital impressions, we can deliver more accurate results and a more comfortable experience for our patients.
