One of our priorities is staying up to date and aware of emerging dental technologies so we can offer the highest quality treatment possible and improve patient care. Every day we hear about new technological advances in one field or another and dentistry is no different! These technological advances mean new materials and techniques to help restore smiles, make procedures less invasive, and minimize treatment & recovery time.
Our technologies allow Dr. George to design a custom-fit dental orthotic to restore your bite to its natural, relaxed position, relive your painful TMJ symptoms and prevent damage to your teeth!.
Our practice also offers laser gum therapy for patients with periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a painful infection of the gum tissue that, if left untreated, can lead to gum tissue loss, tooth loss, and left threatening health conditions. Laser gum therapy provides periodontal disease patients with a safer, faster alternative to traditional gum surgery to remove damaged tissue.
Our dental cone beam computed tomography is a special type of X-ray equipment that allows us to get a deep look at the mouth. The CBCT can produce three dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.
The K-7 allows Dr. George to measure and track jaw and muscle function to gather critical information about the bite. The K-7 also gives Dr. George valuable information about the condition of the temporomandibular joints, a crucial factor in diagnosis and treatment.
The latest in X-ray techonology, the handheld NOMAD allows us to take X-rays faster and more precisely than conventional methods.
Our Trios digital impression intraoral scanner allows us to take digital impressions of your teeth to create precise, high-customized appliances. Many of our patients report that the Trios digital impression scanner is significantly more comfortable than conventional methods of taking dental impressions.
ULF-TENS is an ideal therapeutic option for patients who suffer from TMJD and chronic muscle and joint pain caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, injuries and some autoimmune conditions.
Ultra-low frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy to help relax tight and tense jaw muscles that result from an unbalanced bite.
BEMER stands for Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation. BEMER is a medical device developed in Germany and approved for use in the United States and currently has been used by more millions of people in more than 40 countries.
BEMER uses electromagnetic energy to help improve cell function and blood circulation, making it an ideal treatment for many conditions.
Diode lasers are ideal keeping patients comfortable during treatment of the soft tissues of the mouth and have become an effective replacement for convention surgery in some instances such as the frenectomy procedure and treating gum disease. We use diode laser for the frenectomy procedure, treatment of cold sores, mouth sores and ulcers.
The T-Scan is a small hand held device which quickly analyzes the bite and displays the information on a computer. Using this device, Dr. George has been able to quickly and accurately diagnose problem areas with complete confidence. T-Scan not only helps to diagnose the problem areas of a patient’s bite, but also helps patients understand the causes of their pain and how it can be fixed.
Cold laser therapy, or low-level laser therapy, is a non-invase treatment that uses targeted light to stimulate cellular healing, helping to reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue repair.
