From diagnosis to treatment, these innovations allow us to deliver more accurate, comfortable, and efficient care, while supporting the artistic and personalized results our patients expect.

Explore some of the advanced technologies we use every day to enhance your dental experience:

TRIOS® Digital Scanner

Our practice is focused on making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. Digital scanners eliminate the need for most impressions and allow the information to reach our dental laboratory over a secure internet connection much faster than sending traditional records. The scanner captures over 3,000 2-D images per second, which is 100 times faster than a conventional video camera. Scanning is a comfortable experience for our patients and provides Dr. Sanders with crisp digital images for our laboratories.

Oral DNA® Salivary Testing

Oral DNA® Labs offers several tests that your oral healthcare professional might want to use. My PerioPath® is a laboratory test that identifies and measures harmful bacteria in your mouth. Dr. Sanders will use this information for early detection of problems, to personalize treatment, and to determine the appropriate follow-up. My PerioPath® allows Dr. Sanders to see these bacteria just like an x-ray helps your doctor see your bones and teeth. Dr. Sanders may order either My PerioID® or Celsus One™ to learn if you were born with gene markers associated with increased inflammation, a critical factor in the severity of periodontal, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-ray system offers fast, detailed imaging with significantly lower radiation exposure than traditional film. This technology allows us to diagnose concerns quickly and with greater clarity, while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority.

3D CT Scans

Similar to a panoramic X-ray, our digital 3D CT scanner produces a fully rotatable, high-definition model of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This layered, 360-degree view leads to more accurate diagnoses and allows us to plan complex treatments, such as implant restorations or TMJ therapy, with enhanced precision.

Digital 3D Tooth Scans

Say goodbye to uncomfortable, goopy impressions. Our advanced intraoral scanner creates a digital 3D model of your teeth with pinpoint accuracy, making the process of designing crowns, veneers, and other restorations more comfortable and more efficient.

In-House 3D Printing

We use in-house 3D printers to create custom dental appliances like bite splints and night guards, often with faster turnaround times than outsourcing. These printed appliances are carefully tailored to your bite and provide exceptional fit and durability.

STA Single-Tooth Anesthesia System

No more waiting for your whole face to go numb. This computer-assisted anesthesia system delivers medication precisely to the tooth being treated, resulting in a more comfortable experience and faster recovery with less lingering numbness.

Pre-Start™ Microabrasion System

This small but powerful device prepares the inside surface of restorations, like crowns and veneers, for better bonding. It helps ensure longer-lasting results by creating a more secure bond between your restoration and your natural tooth.

HEPA Air Filtration in Every Room

Every treatment room, and even our waiting area, is equipped with medical-grade HEPA filters to reduce airborne particles, including viruses, bacteria, and allergens. This extra layer of protection is just one more way we prioritize your health and safety.

Two-Way Headset Communication

Our team stays connected throughout your visit with hands-free headset systems, helping us coordinate behind the scenes without interrupting your appointment or creating unnecessary delays.

Big-Screen Treatment Room Monitors

Our treatment rooms feature large monitors that allow you to view your X-rays, scans, and treatment visuals right from the chair. This makes it easy for our doctors to walk you through your diagnosis and options with complete transparency.

Precision with Magnification

Both our doctors and hygienists use high-powered magnification glasses (loupes) during your procedures. This enhances visibility and precision, helping ensure the highest standard of care with every treatment.

Clinical Photography for Smile Design

We use an extensive photography process to document your starting point, track progress, and design personalized treatment plans, especially for cosmetic and full-smile transformations. These photos play a key role in our ability to visualize and deliver your ideal smile.
