Our Technology

Intraoral Camera

The intraoral camera is an incredible diagnostic tool that offers views of the mouth from previously inaccessible angles. This technology allows us to closely examine the entire mouth on a monitor, identifying potential issues. Patients can also see these images firsthand, which helps them better understand their oral health. Furthermore, digital images are useful for obtaining approval for procedures from insurance companies.

Soft Tissue Laser

At First-In-Smiles Dentistry, we use advanced soft tissue laser technology to provide comfortable and effective treatments for various oral issues. This pen-shaped tool minimizes discomfort during procedures like gingivectomy and genioplasty, delivering precise results with minimal pain. Soft tissue laser procedures promote faster healing, eliminate the need for incisions and sutures, and are beneficial for cosmetic treatments, infection management, and addressing cold sores and ulcers. Our skilled dentists, Dr. Patel are experienced in utilizing this innovative technology for restorative and cosmetic dentistry, ensuring optimal patient comfort and successful outcomes.

Digital X-Rays

The use of digital x-rays in dentistry is becoming more common, enabling dentists to take highly accurate images of teeth and surrounding areas. These images can be closely analyzed using different tools in imaging software. One of the main advantages for patients is that digital x-rays expose them to significantly less radiation - about 80% less than traditional x-rays. This is due to the increased sensitivity of digital x-rays and their focus on ensuring patient safety.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

CEREC is a cutting-edge dental technology that can quickly restore decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth with full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Using compressed porcelain, the CEREC machine can create these restorations in just minutes. One of the key benefits of CEREC is that it allows for a one-visit restoration process, saving patients time and discomfort from traditional methods. Say goodbye to biting on impression materials or dealing with temporary restorations with CEREC.

Digital Imaging

Digital imaging, utilizing computer technology and digital sensors, transforms the way radiographic images are obtained, viewed, stored, and shared. In comparison to traditional film-based methods, digital imaging provides a multitude of benefits. Most notably, it significantly reduces patient exposure to radiation. Furthermore, digital images can be instantly accessed post-acquisition, allowing for simultaneous viewing by multiple healthcare professionals and effortless sharing between different locations. Additionally, digital x-rays are eco-friendly as they eliminate the need for chemicals or paper development. By utilizing an electronic sensor pad instead of film, digital images seamlessly integrate into the patient's electronic record, enabling convenient viewing, sharing, and printing directly from the computer.

3D Cone Beam Imaging

At First-In-Smiles Dentistry, we utilize 3D Cone Beam Technology, a specialized digital imaging technique that provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This technology allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in a quick and painless manner. By capturing a series of X-rays from different angles, a comprehensive 3D model of the patient's mouth is created in less than a minute. The computer then processes these images, enabling our dentists to analyze internal structures with precision and diagnose conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, or the need for dental implants. Overall, 3D cone beam technology offers a fast and non-invasive way to obtain detailed images of the mouth, helping our dentists provide precise diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans for improved patient outcomes.
