iTero
How is an iTero Scanner Used?
iTero scanners are used to capture images of your teeth and gums. These scanners can be easily held and operated by your dentist and will comfortably fit into your mouth. Once your mouth has been thoroughly scanned, we will then process the images, and within a few minutes, your dentist will have a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums. The use of iTero scanners in dentistry is becoming increasingly popular as they provide detailed images that allow patients to better visualize the progress of their treatment.
Advantages of iTero Technology for Dental Treatments
As iTero technology enables your dentist to have a digitalized overview of your teeth and gums, it provides patients with a better treatment experience, especially for orthodontic procedures like Invisalign®. Another benefit of using iTero scanners is that they do not expose the patient to radiation, making it a safe procedure that appeals to nearly all patients. It also provides fast results that can be seen on a screen. This lowers the turnaround time for treatments and enables your dentist to provide immediate feedback and more efficient care.
iTero Technology – Paving the Way for Better Oral Care
iTero scanners are compact and enable your dentist to reach the back of your mouth, allowing for a more in-depth scan. Doing so also allows your dentist to provide a more accurate diagnosis and gives them a better overview of how the treatment will affect your results. iTero technology is more accurate and is also more comfortable than traditional methods of taking dental impressions. The 3D model generated from your scans allows for better fitting Invisalign® aligners and can even help patients visualize the results from the treatment. With fewer visits and a more accurate diagnosis, iTero technology allows dentists to provide better consultations and reassure patients that they are getting quality oral care.

Our Services
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that helps fill chips, gaps, or fractures and is very different from veneers.
Bridges
Dental bridges are necessary for many patients with missing teeth or gaps in their smile, not just for general appearance. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a poor bite.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that improves the overall appearance of your smile. It includes improvement of color, shape, position, etc. of your teeth.
Crowns
Dental crowns restore shape, strengthen function and improve the general appearance of teeth. Crowns encase the damaged tooth’s outer surface, securely cementing the tooth’s surface long-term.
Emergency Dentistry
Most dental emergencies, including obvious damage to a tooth, should always be treated as soon as possible. Click here or call our office to be directed to our emergency on call staff.
Dental Hygiene
Regular cleanings every six months, along with proper brushing and flossing, significantly reduce the chance of plaque and tartar build-up, therefore reducing the chance of more serious dental concerns in the future.
Extractions
Do you have a broken tooth that is causing ongoing discomfort and pain? You’ll likely require a dental extraction if the dentist deems your tooth to be beyond restoration.
Fillings
Cavities or “dental caries”, are small holes that develop in teeth as a result of tooth decay. Since cavities result in permanent damage to the surface of your teeth, they require restoration through fillings.
Invisalign®
Virtually invisible while worn, Invisalign is the clear alternative to straighter teeth without letting the world know you're wearing braces.
Implants
Dental implants are a form of restorative dentistry developed to replace missing teeth. They can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth.
Laser
Laser therapy in dentistry provides patients with a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser dentistry, delivers a precise treatment that is faster and more comfortable and that also provides more stunning results.
Lumineers®
Lumineers, like porcelain veneers, provide a way to conceal stains, chips, discoloration, and misaligned teeth by covering your actual teeth with a permanent layer of tooth-colored material.
Partials & Full Dentures
A denture is a custom-made appliance worn over the gums to replace your missing natural teeth. Dentures are usually removable and are composed of lifelike resin teeth bonded to an acrylic or chrome base.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is one of the more dangerous cancer types due to the difficulty in early detection, so early detection is critical in reducing mortality rates.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy (also known as endodontic treatment) is necessary when the inside of a tooth and its surrounding area become infected.They can save a tooth that is badly damaged or decayed; this process will fully restore the tooth.
Teeth Whitening
Phillips ®️ ZOOM! Whitening is one of the more popular teeth whitening options and can transform the color of your teeth up to eight shades whiter in less than an hour.
Sealants
A sealant is a plastic resin bonded to the depression and deep grooves in your tooth’s chewing surface. The sealant essentially acts as a barrier, protecting the enamel on your teeth from plaque, acids, and food debris.
Veneers
Veneers are custom-made, thin layers of porcelain bonded securely to the front surface of your natural teeth. The main objective of cosmetic veneers is to recreate the natural shape and appearance of the teeth.
Preventive Cleanings
You can prevent a lot of damage to your mouth simply by practicing your oral health routine from home. This involves brushing and flossing for a minimum of two minutes twice daily.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our knowledgeable staff is committed to providing your child with the unique support that they need to develop good oral hygiene practices early on and can provide comprehensive support for all of their dental needs.
Children’s Cleanings
One of the most important things we can do as a parent is to establish good oral hygiene habits at home and a good relationship between our kids and the dentist so that they have an easier time getting the care they need.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is one of the most important minerals for our teeth. It is meant to strengthen, and protect your teeth from cavities and other potential problems.
Gum Disease Prevention
Gum disease, or Periodontitis, is an infection that inflames the gums and bone surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis is caused by plaque—a sticky substance that builds up on teeth after food particles and bacteria are left to sit in your mouth.
