At Wholistic Dental Center, we use advanced dental technology to make your care more precise, comfortable, and efficient. When paired with our holistic philosophy, these tools help us detect concerns earlier, treat issues more gently, and better understand the connection between your mouth, airway, and whole-body health.
Here are some of the technologies we use to enhance your dental care experience.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small handheld device that captures high-resolution images inside your mouth. This allows you to see exactly what we see, helping you better understand your oral health and any recommended treatments.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital x-rays provide highly detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures while using significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays. These images appear instantly on screen, allowing us to detect cavities, infections, bone loss, and other concerns quickly and accurately.
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology allows us to perform certain dental treatments with greater precision and comfort. Laser dentistry can be used to treat gum disease, remove bacteria, and support tissue healing while minimizing discomfort and reducing recovery time.
Some of the lasers we use include:
- Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses therapeutic light energy to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue recovery.
- LipLase® is a non-invasive laser treatment that stimulates collagen production, helping enhance the appearance and fullness of the lips.
- NightLase® is a gentle laser therapy designed to tighten airway tissues and improve airflow, helping reduce snoring and symptoms of sleep apnea.
These technologies help us deliver dentistry that is precise, minimally invasive, and focused on whole-body health.
Same-Day Crowns
With advanced digital design and fabrication technology, we can often create same-day dental restorations, such as crowns. This means fewer appointments, no temporary restorations, and a faster path to restoring your smile.
CBCT Cone Beam Technology
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides 3-D images of the teeth, jaw, airway, and facial structures. This advanced imaging helps us evaluate complex issues such as dental implants, TMJ concerns, and airway health with exceptional detail.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Our laser teeth whitening system helps brighten your smile safely and efficiently. By activating professional whitening gel with a specialized light, we can deliver dramatic whitening results in less time than traditional treatments.
Digital Impressions
Digital impressions replace traditional dental molds with high-precision 3-D scans of your teeth and bite. These scans improve comfort for patients while creating highly accurate models used for crowns, aligners, dentures, and other restorations.
Cephalometric X-Ray
A cephalometric x-ray captures a side-view image of the head and jaw, helping us evaluate facial structure, jaw alignment, and airway space. This imaging is especially helpful when planning orthodontic treatment or assessing airway concerns.
Panoramic X-Ray
A panoramic x-ray captures a full view of your entire mouth in one image, including the teeth, jaw joints, sinuses, and surrounding bone. This helps us detect issues that may not be visible during a standard exam.
Digital Records
Digital records allow us to store and organize your dental history, imaging, and treatment plans securely and efficiently. This streamlined system helps our team track your oral health over time and provide personalized care.
