An investment in technology is important and so is the education that our team continually pursues to successfully implement it and keep our practice on the cutting edge.

Digital x-rays use 50-90% less radiation than old-fashioned x-rays. What’s even more amazing is that we get an image immediately that is large, clear, and accurate, right next to your chair…. Ready for discussion.

Electronic Database: We have detailed records of every patient that are easily accessible and are updated during each visit. With speed we are able to view radiographs, notes and access medical histories to make your care seamless.

Chair-side computers and overhead TV’s: Chair-side computers allow us to view your x-rays without leaving the chair. The overhead T.V/Computers are also used in patient education and for viewing your favorite T.V. program while receiving dental services.

Intra-oral camera: If a picture speaks a thousand words, then our intraoral camera speaks volumes about your oral health! Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber optic wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside of your mouth. When indicated, we will take intraoral photos that will allow us to let you see what we see.

Oxygen/Ozone generator: A medical mixture of oxygen-oxone, or O-3 is generated for therapy to eliminate bacteria , fungi and viruses in the mouth. Ozone therapy is used for periodontal therapy, decay therapy with remineralization of early lesions, root canal treatment, tooth sensitivity, canker and cold sores, bone infections and more. Ozone therapy at our Cleveland Dental Office speeds up your own body’s healing response for a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
