Advanced Technology
Precision Dentistry
When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Anderson and staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.
Digital Imaging
Dr. Anderson chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Anderson utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs thus resulting in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Intraoral Camera
Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.
Dr. Anderson utilizes Intraoral Camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An Intraoral Camera is a very small camera that allows us to accurately diagnosis conditions in you mouth, teeth and gums. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!
Intraoral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, and your lab or insurance companies.
Nomad Handheld X-Ray System
The NOMAD portable dental x-ray offers cordless handheld operation and is designed for operator safety and patient acceptance. The system offers high-frequency, constant-potential x-ray generator which provides constant radiation output, reducing skin dose to the patient relative to traditional half-wave (AC) generators. It utilizes the latest x-ray technology, preserving the quality of your images and deliver exact, repeatable exposures. This product is also FDA approved.
Soft Tissue Laser (Gemini Evo)
The Gemini EVO laser combines the benefits of higher 100-watt peak power with the versatility of dual wavelength design. The 100 watts of peak, super-pulsed power provide faster cutting, less heat, and ultra-clean incisions in soft tissue. The two wavelengths (810 nm + 980 nm) can be used individually or together, providing you with three wavelength modes. The Gemini EVO laser has 16 preset procedures divided into three categories for efficient, intuitive use. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity makes it easy to update software or obtain technical support, as well as allows the laser to sync with the Dashboard to provide you with valuable data about your machine and procedures. Three photobiomodulation (PBM) adapters are included so you can take full advantage of your new dental laser.
TRIOS Intraoral Scanner
Today, most intraoral scanner brands require you to use a scan strategy or protocol in order to ensure good data collection. You need, for example, to start with the molar occlusal surface because it helps you capture the right level of detail. Not following the scan strategy could lead to difficulties in properly stitching the 3D model together. This might result in the scan needing to be redone.
This is the scanner that sets a new standard in patient protection and infection control. It is not only hygienic by design, but also smaller, lighter, and designed to fit perfectly in every hand. Its intelligent alignment technology for building up a 3D model results in precision scans, effortlessly and efficiently. Every time.
