Advanced Dentistry
iTero is an innovative 3D computer imaging technology used to digitally scan your teeth and provide a simulated outcome of your orthodontic treatment.
iTero is also used to eliminate the need for taking impressions or molds and can also detect any malocclusions or cavities you may have.
Digital impressions are faster because they take less chair time. Our cases are uploaded to labs the same day, resulting in faster turn-around time. The scans make the process easier by being more comfortable for our patients – no more gummy, sticky impression material inside patient’s mouth.
The process is ‘greener’ and more accurate. The scan is stored digitally without distortion for as long as needed.
Digital scans can be utilized instead of traditional impressions in almost all aspects of dentistry. We are happy to offer this advanced technology to our patients without additional cost!

Endodontics
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp-related issues. The dental pulp, located at the core of your tooth, houses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged, endodontic treatment becomes necessary to save the tooth.
Dental implant surgery is when one or more prosthetic teeth are implanted into a person’s gums after the removal of a decaying tooth.
Dental implants are made out of a crown (the artificial tooth), an implant body (the part that is drilled into the gums), and an abutment (a connecting joint to allow the crown to screw into the implant body).
Generally speaking, with proper care, i.e., the regular practice of good oral hygiene, dental implants can last up to thirty years.
