Technology
Learn more about the new dental technology our team utilizes to give your child the best possible experience at the dental office.
General Anesthesia, Sedation, and Nitrous Oxide
Our dental anesthesiology team has advanced specialty training in general anesthesia to ensure the safest possible care. We believe every patient deserves a comfortable and stress-free dental experience.We offer a range of anesthesia options tailored to each patient’s needs, including:
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) – a light, relaxing option.
Conscious sedation – a deeper level of relaxation while remaining responsive.
General anesthesia – complete sleep dentistry, with open-airway or intubated techniques as needed.
CO2 Laser
A CO₂ laser is a highly precise beam of light that gently removes soft tissue. In dentistry, we most often use this technology for frenum releases beneath the tongue or lip.
Unlike traditional surgery with a scalpel, laser treatment usually doesn’t require stitches. The laser carefully moves through tissue with precision to release the tight band. The procedure is quick, with very little bleeding, and most patients experience minimal discomfort afterward.

CBCT (3D Imaging)
Our Promax Mid CBCT uses low-dose technology that is safe for children while still providing highly detailed images. This advanced imaging allows us to capture:
Extraoral X-rays (outside the mouth)
Airway and TMJ evaluations
Orthodontic planning
Detection of dental pathologies
With CBCT, we can see more than traditional X-rays, helping us diagnose and plan treatment with greater precision.
Carestream Intraoral Scanner
Our digital intraoral scanner captures highly accurate 3D images of the teeth and mouth—no messy impression trays required. This makes starting treatments like orthodontic cases, spacers, and aligners faster and more comfortable.
The scanner also helps us detect potential dental issues early, supporting more precise diagnoses and treatment planning.
Vivos Score
The VivoScore ring is a compact, comfortable, and clinically reliable home sleep apnea testing tool. It’s aligned with FDA standards, offering an accessible and cost-effective pathway for identifying sleep apnea—particularly useful in dental and medical practices aiming to seamlessly screen and refer patients for treatment.

iTero Lumina Intraoral Scanner
The iTero Lumina represents a significant leap forward in digital scanning—combining speed, accuracy, comfort, and visual clarity, all in one streamlined tool. It’s designed not just to capture images, but to enhance the entire diagnostic and restorative workflow, with powerful extras for caries detection and patient communication.
QSCAN PLUS
The QScan Plus is a handheld, FDA-registered Class I biofilm detection device created by AIOBIO Co., Ltd. It leverages Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence (QLF) technology—using safe blue LED light (around 405 nm) and a yellow filter—to highlight mature dental plaque and biofilm in red via microbial autofluorescence.Unlike traditional dye-based disclosures, QScan Plus provides a non-invasive, instant visual assessment of oral hygiene status—no chemicals needed.
ProMax 3D Mid Scanner
The ProMax 3D Mid is a versatile, all-in-one dental imaging system combining 2D panoramic (Panorex) imaging with 3D Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) capabilities. It also supports other imaging modes like cephalometric, bitewing, and ENT (ear, nose, throat)—making it powerful and flexible for a wide range of dental and maxillofacial applications.
SOAN Injection System By NuSmile
The SOAN is a cordless, computer-controlled electronic anesthetic delivery system (often referred to as an electronic injection pen) designed and distributed by NuSmile in partnership with Dentalhitec. It represents a modern and patient-friendly alternative to traditional syringes
Ozone Dental
Ozone Dental Therapy is a treatment approach in dentistry that uses ozone gas (O₃)—a highly reactive form of oxygen—to help kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and to promote healing. Because ozone has powerful antimicrobial and oxygenating properties, it can be used as a natural, minimally invasive option in many dental procedures.Here’s a simple breakdown of how it’s used:
Cavity Treatment – Ozone gas can disinfect tooth decay without drilling, reducing bacteria before a filling is placed.
Root Canal Therapy – Ozone can sterilize the inside of a tooth more effectively than traditional disinfectants.
Gum Disease – Ozone water or gas can reduce infection and inflammation in the gums.
Tooth Sensitivity – Ozone can help desensitize exposed tooth roots.
Oral Infections & Healing – Ozone improves blood flow and speeds up tissue healing after extractions, surgery, or injuries.
