The Wand®
Needles may be the only thing patients find scarier than going to the dentist. Whether you already suffer from dental phobia or anxiety, are scared of needles or just want the most comfortable and targeted numbing available, the Wand® allows our team to provide better and more comfortable local anesthesia.
The Wand® looks similar to a pen. You will never see or feel a needle. Instead, you’ll experience gentle, localized numbing. Traditional local anesthesia numbs large sections of the mouth, making it difficult to speak clearly, chew or even breathe for hours after a procedure. The Wand® allows us to numb only the parts of the mouth necessary to perform a procedure. That means you won’t feel anything during your treatments, and you’re able to get back to your daily routine right away. We use the Wand® to make your dentistry experience better, more comfortable and more effective.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays allow us to capture higher resolution images of the underlying structures of patients’ smiles than traditional X-rays without the high levels of radiation, time consuming film development process, or need for lighted X-ray viewing boards. Instead, digital X-rays are quickly captured and available to view right away on our chairside computer monitors. We can examine these X-rays with you as part of your regular checkup, use them to help you understand oral health concerns and partner with you to create a plan for your ongoing oral health care. Unlike the low-quality film images produced by traditional X-ray systems, our Dexis digital X-ray system produces high-definition X-ray images that can be expanded, color coded and otherwise enhanced to make understanding your oral health care needs completely clear.
