75% Reduction in Radiation

Introducing digital imaging, available at our practice. With this technology, an image is taken of your mouth with a digital sensor, and downloaded into our computer, where it is immediately available. This method results in 75% less radiation than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.

 

 

 

Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of the Team

 

Dr. Campbell works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of teamwork. One of the ways he brings this about is through the use of a high-tech tool, the intra-oral camera. This amazing device is a miniature video camera that displays a closeup picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in each dental
decision. You’ll love how this works!

 

 

The Laser Scanner Finds Ultra-Small Cavities Years Earlier

 

If you are like most of us, you've had the dentist find a cavity, place a rather large filling, and wondered why the filling is so large if the cavity wasn't there just six months before. The answer is that the cavity was there six months before - it just wasn't big enough to show on x-rays, and it wasn't visible to the dentist yet. The Laser Scanner finds cavities years earlier, when the ultra-small cavity can be repaired with a small invisible bonded filling.

 

 

 

Crowns in a Single Visit - CEREC^TM

 

Welcome to dentistry in the 21st century! We are pleased to offer crowns made with CEREC™, a highly precise computer milling machine that makes crowns right in the office, in about an hour. No more temporaries, additional visits, or crowns that don’t seem to fit right. Just because CEREC crowns are convenient and aesthetically desirable doesn’t mean you have to give up function. These modern restorations dramatically reduce cracking, lowering the likelihood of needing future root canal treatment. Due to the custom design and precise fit, CEREC restorations are bonded to the tooth with the optimum strength available. We are pleased to be among one of the first in our community to offer crowns with the CEREC machine. If you have ever had a crown placed the traditional way, we are sure you will notice the difference!
