Intraoral Cameras

Keeping you and your child engaged is important to Dr. Amar and the team members at our dental office, and our intraoral camera makes that process even easier. This small, handheld device comes complete with a tiny camera housed in the tip, so taking high-resolution photos of your child’s oral structures is simple and straightforward. We can even display these photos on a nearby monitor in order to educate you and your child on the current condition of their oral health.

All-Digital X-Rays

Traditional X-rays would often take a large amount of time and many different chemicals to produce, making the process more complicated than it needed to be. By going fully digital for your child’s X-rays, we can confirm certain aspects of their oral health that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. Furthermore, digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 80 percent! Of course, we take all the necessary steps to ensure the safety of your family beforehand, including through the use of radiation shields worn during scanning.

Light Scalpel® CO2 Laser Dentistry

If laser dentistry has you or your child nervous, keep in mind that the Light Scalpel actually makes many treatments easier to complete, more comfortable for all patients involved, and provides a higher level of precision compared to any traditional dental instrument. Using a combination of CO2 and concentrated light energy, we can make tongue-ties, lip-ties, and other soft tissue treatments a breeze to complete. In most cases, we can avoid sutures along the way!

IV Sedation

With IV sedation, medication is administered directly into the bloodstream to create a potent relaxing effect very quickly. We typically recommend it for children with a high level of dental anxiety, those who require extensive or complex dental work, or who need to complete multiple procedures in a single appointment. We’ll discuss your child’s dental and medical history as well as which medications they are taking to ensure they remain comfortable throughout the process. Our office has every piece of monitoring equipment and rescue medication available to guarantee a safe and smooth process.

Soan No-Injection Anesthesia

Soan is a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled handheld device that allows us to deliver local anesthetic in an immediate, fast-acting, and pain-free manner. It also localizes the anesthetic to the tooth being treated so the patient is much less likely to chew on their lip or tongue, cutting down on postoperative complications. This means your child can eat, drink, and get back to their normal routine while they remain comfortable and you have peace of mind.

Overjet AI

This sophisticated AI software can detect the earliest signs of cavities, bone loss, and infections in our imaging, making it easier for our team as well as parents to see where problem areas are arising. Your child’s scans will still be reviewed by a human 100% of the time—the AI is just able to notice slight differences that could indicate issues which could be too subtle for the naked eye. It allows us to provide even better diagnostics, more proactive treatment, and better explain your child’s needs so you understand our recommendations.

Panoramic/Cephalometric X-Rays

Better known as pan/ceph X-rays, these allow us to see all of the teeth, both jaws, and nearby oral structures in a single image. This enables our team to visualize growth and development, identify potential pathologies, and enables our orthodontist to treat growing adolescents with braces more effectively (as their teeth and mouth will change rapidly due to natural growth and in response to treatment).

Nomad Dental X-Rays

This small handheld X-ray unit delivers the least amount of radiation possible when capturing close-up images of a small number of teeth. In fact, the ADA states that patients no longer need to wear the lead apron anymore due to the minimal amount of radiation exposure. It makes the process of getting images extremely fast, plus we can show them to you and your child almost instantly to give you a “backstage” tour of their smile.

Silver Diamine Fluoride

Silver diamine fluoride, or SDF, is used to treat active decay and cavities in the gentlest way possible. Applied to the problem area as a liquid, the silver quickly kills the harmful oral bacteria, while the fluoride reinforces the remaining enamel. On top of being fast and pain-free, it’s also a more conservative approach, as it allows us to preserve more of the healthy tooth structure compared to traditional methods.

Icon White Spot Treatment

Does your child have white spots on their teeth? These can form due to a multitude of reasons, with fluorosis (an overexposure to fluoride at a young age), early-stage decay, and physical trauma being the leading ones. Regular bleaching can’t remove these, but Icon treatment can! It involves minimally invasive resin infiltration, using a color-matched material to fill in the gaps within the microscopic pores of the enamel so the discoloration disappears. 

Curodont

Curodont can actually help a tooth “heal” after it has developed decay or a cavity. Taking as little as three minutes, a liquid peptide solution is precisely applied that encourages the enamel to absorb calcium and phosphate from the saliva to repair itself. This happens naturally in the mouth, but Curodont accelerates and concentrates this process so we’re able to address and prevent cavities without having to use drilling, injections, or fillings.
