In keeping with our Personal Partnership Promise to help you achieve a lifetime of optimum dental health, the staff at Advanced Dental Solutions is committed to learning about, acquiring, and utilizing the latest in dental equipment technology. We are constantly researching and updating our office equipment, so check back with us often to see what new dental health care discoveries have been made, and how they benefit you!


New Technologies/Patient Benefits:

Magnification and Illumination
Magnification makes things bigger, and illumination makes them brighter! Together, Magnification and Illumination allow dentists to see the "bigger picture" in your mouth much more clearly, prompting earlier detection of present and potential problems, leading to more conservative dentistry procedures, and a higher quality of dental health care.


Digital X-ray Imaging

Laser Cavity Detection
The DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detector uses a diode laser to pinpoint and distinguish between decayed and healthy tooth structure. The laser precisely identifies even the tiniest bit of decay, resulting in smaller fillings and a greater amount of preserved tooth structure. The laser cavity detector also allows dentists to monitor potential decay areas without the need for repeated x-rays."

Computerized Anesthesia
The Computerized Anesthesia "Wand" is not actually magic, but it does help patient fear and apprehension disappear! The Wand has replaced the traditional anesthesia "shot." Not only does it make the process much more comfortable, in certain injections, it can help patients avoid the "fat lip" sensation.

Digital Intra-Oral Cameras
When it comes to diagnostic communication between dentists and their patients, a picture truly is worth a thousand words! The new Digital Intra-Oral Camera enables dentists to "show" patients on a flat screen monitor what they are "telling" them about the conditions present in their mouth.

Digital Photography
Digital Photography technology has improved dental health care in almost every way. Dentists use digital photography to present treatment proposals to patients; to communicate with dental labs to ensure precise color-matching during the making of crowns and veneers and other cosmetic lab procedures; and even to aid in insurance reimbursement when documentation is needed.

Electric Handpieces
Remember how the shrill sound of the drill used to give you a chill? Thanks to Electric Handpieces (drills) those days are gone! Electric Handpieces make dental procedures shorter, more efficient, and much, much quieter!

Soft Tissue Laser
For patients requiring soft tissue dental procedures (gums, tongue, lips) the Soft Tissue Laser takes the place of traditional surgery, and is easier on patients in almost every way. With the Soft Tissue Laser, there is less need for anesthesia, minimal bleeding, less postoperative swelling, less need for antibiotics and pain medication, less pain, and better and swifter healing.

J5 Myomonitor
The J5 Myomonitor relaxes muscles in those suffering from TMJ, and helps locate a pain free bite. The J5 Myomonitor also eases TMD dysfunction and associated pain by increasing local blood circulation and range of motion for the jaw."
