Our dental cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) device produces a type of 3D x-ray that we use to visualize your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. The scans also allow us to evaluate potential airway issues and provide accuracy for planning dental implants. The machine will simply circle around your head, and it only takes a couple of minutes to complete! These images allow us to see your mouth as a whole and from nearly every angle.
Our portable x-ray capturing system allows us to take radiographs without moving you from room to room. Best of all, you will be able to see all of the images we take including the CBCT scan and photographs on television screens in the treatment rooms.
The use of a laser instead of traditional surgery methods is faster, more efficient, more precise, and takes less time to heal. Depending on your dental needs, we can use the Fotona Lightwalker laser for various types of treatments.
The use of a slim intraoral camera is an amazing tool that allows us to view teeth from up close and in full color. We will review the photographs we take so you can have a better understanding of your dental needs and overall oral health.
The iTero scanner, is an innovative device, that obtains accurate 3D digital impressions of a patient’s teeth without radiation exposure. This breakthrough technology has revolutionized dentistry, capturing comprehensive and precise tooth scans within minutes. The user-friendly design facilitates smooth navigation around the patient’s mouth while capturing thousands of detailed images.
If you’re concerned about sanitation and disinfection measures in our office, rest assured because we have the latest equipment and protocols to keep you and our staff safe. Our air purifiers are 40x more effective than HEPA filters and were developed using technology funded by a government grant. They remove mold, bacteria, and viruses including COVID-19 particles. The purifiers also change the air within our treatment rooms every 5 minutes or less so you can be sure there are no lingering aerosols from the patients before you.
We also have Aerus air scrubbers installed in our HVAC systems to purify the air in our more open spaces. The Aerus ActivePure system was created alongside NASA and is the only air cleaning technology certified by the Space Foundation.
To help minimize cross-contamination, our staff wear face masks at all times and practice hand washing before and after each patient. We request patients to come alone to their appointments whenever possible. If a companion must be present, we ask the companion to wear a face mask during the entire visit. We also make an effort to space patients apart to reduce overlap between appointments. We have temperature checks, hand washing areas, hand sanitizers, and pre-procedural mouth rinses readily available to help keep everyone safe.
Who said dental offices have to be drab and dull? Our new space is equipped with modern comforts and amenities that will make you and your family feel right at home.
Stay entertained with your favorite shows on Disney+ or Netflix using our ceiling-mounted TV’s in treatment rooms. We also have bluetooth headphones with disposable ear covers that are changed between patients.
Keep hydrated with bottled water or coffee from our refreshment station. All of our refreshments are individually wrapped including the cups and coffee stirrers so you don’t need to worry. Hungry? We keep individually wrapped granola bars and crackers on hand for our patients to enjoy before or after their appointment.
If you want comfort, we have you covered. We have blankets, neck wraps, knee pillows, and aromatherapy available for all of our patients to enjoy. After every appointment, we also offer scented cool or warm towels to make you feel refreshed. We do everything we can so you can have a comfortable and pleasant dental experience from start to finish.
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
