The in-office cone beam CT scanner is the state of the art from Imaging Sciences International. This brings the latest technology to dental diagnosis and treatment plans, yet the dose of radiation is extremely low.

We can now measure exact bone width, thickness, height, and density for implant placement. Diagnosis of abnormalities in the bony structures is also possible to a degree not previously available. The relationship between the root of an impacted wisdom tooth or the exact location of any impacted tooth can now be determined instantly without guesswork.

The following images show the amazing 3-D visuals now routinely possible in our office.

Case 1: This basic case restores a single missing tooth.

Case 2: Multiple missing teeth are restored by implants. Orthodontics are first used to align the teeth properly. Dentures over the implants are used to replace the missing teeth.

Case 3: An implant replaces a missing tooth and treats a super-erupted tooth.

Case 4: A severely infected tooth with severe bone loss underwent bone graft and sinus lift to enable implant.

Case 1: This rather complex case shows multiple defects to be corrected in this child.

Case 2: Sectional orthodontics refers to a quick, smaller scale intervention, as shown in this adult case.

Case 3: Here is a case showing repair of a severe underbite in a child.

Case 4: Orthodontic treatment can improve narrow airway spaces, as shown in this teenager.
The patient played tennis but was limited by fatigue prior to orthodontic treatment.
After correction she was able to last longer in tennis and play her full game.

Case 1: Implant bridge is placed for 2 or more missing teeth.

Case 2: A pair of implant bridges replace 6 missing teeth.

Case 3: This complex case involves a single tooth implant replacement, implant + natural tooth supported bridge, and left + right implant + implant supported bridges.

Case 1: This shows a typical root canal treatment.

Case 2: This is another case showing the healing of the surrounding bone 1 year later.

Frenectomy (removal of excess tissue that can pull on the gums, lips, or tongue) is an excellent example of a minor surgical procedure that can be done in our office. This case shows a child’s teeth.

Case 1: This shows how all the components of an implant denture work together.

Case 2: Even a single tooth can be valuable as part of an implant denture solution.

Case 1: Simple but important set of full dentures improves function but also appearance.

Case 2: Partial dentures are another basic but important tool.

Case 1: This shows a soft tissue graft to correct a gum defect.

Case 2: Gum grafts are also important tools to cover exposed tooth roots.

Case 3: Here is a case showing repairing one (on the left) out of multiple exposed roots. The other root (the one on the right) was repaired later.

Case 1: Cosmetics can rely on combinations of crowns, cleaning, bleaching, and of course our dental spa to achieve overall results.

Case 2: Basic teeth cleaning again makes a dramatic improvement.

Bonding is a quick solution to problems such as gapped teeth. This case shows a darkly pigmented individual.

Conventional crowns are one of the most basic procedures. (Now this patient just needs some alignment for the bottom teeth.)

This frequently requested procedure is simple and effective. Note that temporarily even the surrounding gums can harmlessly take some bleaching effect. This case shows a darkly pigmented individual.

Tooth-colored fillings are routine but can also be used to replace older fillings.

Sometimes suspicious lesions are discovered on dental exams. This is another important reason to have routine exams done.

This is a normal patient who does not suffer from snoring or sleep apnea. The 3-D volume calculation shows normal volumes of the upper airway (white, at the far right of the color scale).

This patient suffers from loud snoring and has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. The 3-D volume calculation shows severe narrowing of the upper airway, which is causing these problems.

The middle of the calculated volume (an extremely important area!) shows the color gradient going all the way to black. Innovative oral devices can then be applied to solve the airway problem, including the snoring and drop in blood oxygen.

This patient came in complaining of poor sleep quality every night for many years. A night guard, a popular dental appliance, was suspected as a cause.

When wearing the night guard, the mid portion of the airway volume drops to hardly any (the color gradient blacking out). Without the night guard, the airway volume is still low but improves. The night guard was discontinued, resulting in improved sleep.
