Every investment we make in technology has one goal: better care for our patients. From diagnosis to treatment planning, modern equipment means more precision, more comfort and less time in the chair.

Sharper Diagnostics

Three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone — captured in a single scan.

3D Imaging

The 3D Extraoral Imaging System

This amazing piece of technology features both digital panoramic and focused-field 3D imaging modalities. It embodies an innovative and comprehensive approach by evaluating bone quality, viewing periapical lesions, localizing anatomic structures, pathologies and more. Our dentists can produce three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.

With the unprecedented details and angles of view our 3D radiology system offers, we discover a range of new diagnostic possibilities:

  • Endodontics
  • Implantology
  • Pathologies
  • Complex impactions
  • All surgery planning

3D imaging yields anatomically correct three-dimensional images directly on screen — with higher resolution at low radiation exposure.

Laser Dentistry

WaterLase Dental Laser

WaterLase is a dental laser that uses light energy and a fine water spray to treat soft tissue and tooth structure. Dr. Hoang uses it for gum treatment and gum surgery, where it lets him treat many cases without cutting the gums open, and for small cavities. The laser seals tissue as it works, so there's usually less bleeding and swelling.

  • Soft tissue and tooth structure
  • Gum treatment and gum surgery
  • Small cavities

3D Diagnostics

CBCT 3D Imaging

Cone beam CT (CBCT) is a 3D x-ray that shows your teeth, bone, nerves and sinuses in one scan. Dr. Hoang uses it to plan implants, check bone levels before gum and grafting procedures and find problems a regular x-ray can miss. Not every dental office has one, which is part of why we can handle complex cases in-house.

  • Implant planning
  • Bone levels before gum and grafting procedures
  • Problems a regular x-ray can miss

Questions

Advanced Technology FAQs

Is 3D dental imaging safe?+

Yes. Our 3D extraoral imaging system produces high-resolution, anatomically correct images at low radiation exposure — far less than traditional medical CT scans — while giving your dentist far more diagnostic detail.

What is the iTero scan used for?+

The iTero intraoral scanner takes a fast, comfortable digital scan of your teeth — no messy impressions. We use it to plan Invisalign treatment and to show you a simulated preview of your outcome before you even start.

Does advanced technology make treatment faster?+

In many cases, yes. Precise 3D diagnostics and digital scanning mean fewer appointments, fewer adjustments and more predictable results — which shortens the overall treatment time.

Will I see my scan results?+

Absolutely. We review your 3D images and iTero simulations with you on screen, so you can see exactly what we see and understand every recommendation before treatment begins.
