Our Advanced Dental Technologies

CEREC® Same-Day Crowns

Traditional crowns often require multiple appointments. With CEREC® technology, Dr. Knowles can design, mill, and place a custom, permanent crown in just one visit.

Benefits of CEREC® Crowns:

  • No messy impressions
  • No temporary crown needed
  • Completed in one appointment
  • Made from high-quality ceramic
  • Precise, comfortable fit and natural look

This innovative system restores strength and aesthetics quickly, saving you time while delivering exceptional results.

3D CBCT Imaging

Our cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure. This technology is essential for planning precise dental implant placement, diagnosing complex cases, and evaluating bone health.

Advantages of 3D CBCT Imaging:

  • High-resolution, low-radiation imaging
  • Enhanced diagnostic accuracy
  • Better planning for surgical procedures
  • Improved implant success rates

With 3D imaging, Dr. Knowles can see beyond traditional X-rays for a more complete understanding of your oral health.

Digital X-Rays

Our office uses digital X-rays to capture high-quality images instantly while reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film.

Benefits include:

  • Faster, safer, and more comfortable imaging
  • Immediate viewing on screen for better communication
  • Environmentally friendly, no film or chemicals
  • Early detection of cavities, infections, and bone loss

This technology allows us to diagnose and treat issues with speed and accuracy during your visit.

Intraoral Cameras

With small, high-definition intraoral cameras, Dr. Knowles can show you exactly what he sees during your exam. The images appear in real time on a chairside monitor, helping you understand your treatment options clearly.

Benefits:

  • Improves transparency and patient education
  • Identifies issues not visible to the naked eye
  • Allows for better treatment planning and documentation

These cameras help you make informed decisions about your care with visual clarity and confidence.

Digital Impressions

No more goopy, uncomfortable molds. Our digital impression system uses advanced scanning technology to capture accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums.

Benefits of Digital Impressions:

  • Comfortable, mess-free experience
  • More precise restorations
  • Faster turnaround time for crowns and aligners
  • Ideal for Invisalign® and CEREC® treatments

Digital impressions make your visits smoother and your restorations fit perfectly.

Technology That Supports Your Comfort

While our technology enhances precision and quality, it also improves your comfort. From digital anesthetic delivery to noise-minimized equipment, every part of our office is designed to create a stress-free experience.
