Cutting-Edge, Forward-Moving Technology

Traditional dental technology is still common in many dental offices throughout the world; however, the advancements in dentistry make it possible to incorporate cutting-edge devices that can impact a patient’s experience. Instead of uncomfortable imaging and procedures, we turn to solutions that create optimal relaxation and high-resolution scans for more accurate treatment planning. Take a look at the technologies we provide in-house at our Houston dental office and call us if you have any questions.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Mild dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, the inability to sit still for long, or the struggle to become numb with anesthesia are all reasons you might consider nitrous oxide sedation. It’s easy to administer and the instant calming effects make it one of the most popular forms of sedation dentistry available. Safe to use on nearly all patients, inhaling the nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture allows you to remain undeterred by your surroundings while receiving the oral healthcare you need.

CT/Cone Beam Scanner

When preparing to place dental implants or perform a root canal, we will suggest digital imaging with the help of our CT/Cone Beam Scanner. This device creates a 3D model of your oral and facial structures based on hundreds of images taken by its rotating arm. Unlike traditional radiographs that are only 2D, this device makes it easier for our team to analyze the intricacies of your smile and head, ensuring we develop a plan that leads to successful results at the end of the day.

Intraoral Camera

If you’ve ever wondered what it is that your dentist sees when looking in your mouth, you can now see it for yourself with the help of our intraoral camera. Used to detect the earliest signs of decay, it’s also helpful to educate patients about the importance of good oral health and why certain treatment options are necessary to avoid more serious dental problems in the future. The device snaps images of your teeth and gums, allowing for immediate viewing on a chairside monitor.
