By moving beyond conventional methods, we have integrated a sophisticated suite of high-tech diagnostic tools designed to make your treatment experience faster, safer, and more precise than ever before.

Our commitment to modern science ensures a proactive focus on preserving your natural teeth while providing custom-engineered restorations that align perfectly with your unique smile.
Your visit to our dental office in Cumming, GA, may include technologies like:
3D Digital X-Rays (CBCT)
We use advanced 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging to capture a detailed, 360-degree view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and sinuses. This high-resolution technology allows for precise planning of dental implants, oral surgery, and complex extractions. CBCT scans are fast, comfortable, and use significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans, delivering accuracy without compromising safety.
Intraoral Camera
Our high-definition intraoral camera allows you to see exactly what our dentist sees. This small, pen-sized camera captures magnified images of your teeth and gums and displays them on a chairside screen in real time. By visualizing concerns like cracks, decay, or gum issues together, you can better understand your diagnosis and feel confident in your treatment decisions.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers a gentler, more comfortable alternative to traditional dental tools. Using precise light energy, we can perform many procedures with less discomfort, reduced bleeding, and faster healing, often with little to no anesthesia. The quiet, vibration-free experience makes laser treatment ideal for our patients seeking a minimally invasive approach to care.
iTero™ Digital Scanning
We’ve replaced messy impression trays with the iTero™ digital scanner for faster, more comfortable results. This handheld device captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in seconds, ensuring highly accurate crowns, bridges, veneers, and clear aligners. With iTero™’s smile simulation technology, you can even preview your future smile before treatment begins.
DIAGNOdent™ Cavity Detection
DIAGNOdent™ laser technology helps us detect cavities at their earliest stages, often before they’re visible on X-rays or to the naked eye. By identifying decay early, we can use more conservative treatments and, in some cases, help reverse damage before a dental filling is needed. This proactive approach protects your natural tooth structure and prevents larger issues down the road.
Infrared Cavity Detection
Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging allows us to detect cavities between teeth without using radiation. Healthy enamel appears transparent, while areas of decay stand out clearly, making it easier to identify problems early. This safe, non-invasive technology supports frequent monitoring and early intervention for long-term oral health.
Overjet® Dental AI Technology
We use Overjet® AI software to enhance diagnostic accuracy and transparency. This advanced technology analyzes X-rays in real time, identifying and color-coding areas of concern such as decay, bone loss, and tartar buildup. Acting as a second set of expert eyes, Overjet® helps ensure you receive precise, data-driven care you can see and understand.
Digital Smile Simulation
Our digital smile simulation technology lets you preview your results before treatment begins. Using advanced imaging and design software, we create a realistic “before and after” view of your future smile. Whether you’re considering veneers, clear aligners, or cosmetic dentistry, this collaborative process ensures your final results align perfectly with your goals.
