About Us

Much more than just cool tech

We have an intraoral camera, a VELscope, a rotary endo and other specialty hand tools. Not only do they sound cool, but they help us give you the healthiest smile in town.

The intraoral camera lets us see better what older models wouldn’t show as well. That helps us give you a more accurate diagnosis.

The VELscope helps us detect oral cancer sooner and better than before.

The iTero intraoral scanner is an intraoral scanning device used by dentists to capture detailed 3D images of the teeth, mouth, and jaw. iTero scanners are often used as a component of treatment planning for restorative and orthodontic procedures, including Invisalign treatments.

The rotary endo is the latest tool for root canal, reaching into hidden areas with less risk of pain or damage than previous technology.

Sure, it’s all cool tech. But the important things is that they make tooth care more effective and less painful.
