Advanced Care

Our approach to utilizing the latest technology is our commitment to you — to provide an experience that is personal, efficient, and empowers you to take an active role in your smile’s transformation.

The iTero scanner is all about patient comfort. It creates a digital impression that is much more accurate than a traditional putty mold impression.

cbct

CBCT

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a form of 3D imaging that goes above and beyond the detail provided by standard X-ray pictures.

X-rays

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography is a type of X-ray imaging where digital sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film, giving us more accurate scans.

Propel VPro

Propel VPro

Propel VPro works by stimulating the bone surrounding your teeth, helping the teeth to move faster and more predictably into their ideal positions.
