Technology

Using advanced electronic sensors and digital x-rays, we can capture detailed images of the oral cavity with significantly less radiation than traditional radiography. This technology allows for the immediate viewing of high-resolution images, aiding in accurate diagnoses and efficient treatment planning.

It's crucial for detecting cavities, monitoring bone loss, and evaluating the roots and nerves of teeth. For patients, this means quicker appointments and a deeper understanding of their oral health, as Dr. Klavy can share and discuss results on the spot.

Digital records allow our team to manage your patient information securely and efficiently. We can easily access the essential details we need, and our team can share them to ensure we are all in the know. This helps streamline your appointments and allows us to transfer information as needed with insurance companies and specialists easily. 

Laser dentistry for soft tissue procedures offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Dr. Klavy can use a precise laser beam to target gum tissue for treatments such as contouring, periodontal therapy, and removing lesions. This technique reduces discomfort, minimizes bleeding, and speeds healing. This means experiencing less anxiety and discomfort during procedures, quicker recovery, and precise, optimal results.

CBCT cone beam technology revolutionizes dental imaging by providing three-dimensional, high-definition views of the teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. Dr. Klavy uses this technology to meticulously plan dental implant placement, orthodontic treatment, and oral surgery. You benefit from a more thorough assessment that allows for highly accurate and effective treatments with the best possible long-term outcomes.

Nitrous oxide sedation is a mild, inhalable sedative that provides a more relaxing experience, especially if you experience anxiety or fear related to dental procedures. The effects are fast-acting and quickly reversible, offering a comfortable and calm state without lingering grogginess. With nitrous oxide, you can undergo any treatment, from routine cleanings to more involved procedures, and leave the office alert and ready to continue your day.

A panoramic x-ray provides a comprehensive view of your entire dental arch, capturing teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding facial structures in a single, wide-frame image. It's an invaluable tool for holistic treatment planning, especially in orthodontics, implant placement, and detecting impactions or tumors. Because panoramic x-rays are easily taken outside the mouth, they are also helpful for young children, adults with a strong gag reflex, or patients with special needs.

Cephalometric (ceph) x-rays are essential in orthodontics because they provide a side-image of the head to show teeth, jaw relation, and bone structure. This type of x-ray helps in planning treatment by evaluating the teeth's relation to the jaws and the jaws' relation to the head. With ceph x-rays, you benefit from a tailor-made approach to orthodontic care for more effective and lasting outcomes.

Nobody likes injections, but the Dentapen® is a leading-edge electronic syringe designed to deliver local anesthetic in a more comfortable and controlled manner. Unlike traditional syringes, Dentapen's innovative technology allows Dr. Klavy to administer injections with precise pressure and volume, minimizing discomfort.

This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety or a low pain threshold and helps ensure a more pleasant and pain-free visit. With the Dentapen, Dr. Klavy continues to prioritize patient comfort and advanced care.
