Our paperless office is equipped with contemporary tools and deluxe amenities for an exceptional dental care experience.

Innovative Dental Tools Empower Well-Informed Dental Patients

Our high tech tools are blended with state of the art techniques to deliver dental care that is custom designed for you.

During your checkup or new patient exam, we take pictures of your teeth and gums with our professional digital camera and display the images on a high definition flat screen. Dr. Chris Hill uses these images to explain his findings and suggestions for dental treatment.

Seeing your dental problems may seem overwhelming at first, but consider the experience the first step toward a healthier, fresher smile. The camera may reveal the early stages of potentially serious problems, allowing you the opportunity to prevent small problems before they escalate. This is especially helpful with gum disease and conditions that cause damage without causing pain. The camera’s honest survey can also show you how your regular home hygiene routine is paying off. The dental hygienist or dentist can recommend ways to improve your homecare based on their findings.

Dental radiographs, or X-rays, provide us with valuable information because with them, we can see what’s going on beneath, between, and under your teeth and gums. We can also detect problems in existing dental work, as well as receding bone and abscesses. For instance, cavities and gum disease show up as dark places on white teeth and bone images. Not only do X-rays help us diagnose dental problems and develop customized treatment plans, but they document your dental health status, establishing a baseline from which to monitor changes over time.

We also use digital impressions, so you don’t have to bite into a tray of goo to get dental crowns or veneers.
