Being on the cutting edge of new dental technology is not about having the ‘newest toys.’ It is about offering the best treatment experience and finest results to our patients!  Dr. Doray introduces new technology into her practice only after careful research to choose technology with proven performance. Whether new technology is less invasive, more comfortable, offers better diagnostics or delivers better, longer lasting results the bottom line is a better experience for our patients.
 

We are proud to be the first practice in the region to employ new technology which, in many cases, will eliminate the need for traditional impressions for patients needing crowns, bridges and veneers. It’s called the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (COS) from 3M ESPE, and it creates a virtual model of your teeth, which is then electronically uploaded to the dental lab to create your porcelain restorations. For many patients this means no messy and uncomfortable impression material is necessary.  Click here to read more.

Vita Easy Shade

Correct shade evaluation is a key factor in creating beautiful natural looking restorations that make you feel great about your new smile. With the VITA Easy Shade we can easily and quickly verify a precise, objective shade match, regardless of the lighting conditions or the type of materials being used. Easy Shade is also a useful tool when communicating to the dental lab, helping the ceramist to create beautiful restorations that exhibit natural color from within rather than from external surface staining.

Intraoral Camera

For those who wish to see what they may look like after cosmetic dental treatment, Dr. Doray utilizes cosmetic digital imaging software. A digital photo of your smile is downloaded into the computer.  Then Dr. Doray creates a custom image of your new smile by altering the color, shape, size and alignment of your teeth. This smile simulation also helps us communicate with the dental laboratory. It can help you to visualize the potential treatment results, allowing you to be a part of the process in creating the smile of your dreams.

Doppler

Dr. Doray uses a Doppler device to evaluate the temporomandibular joints (TMJ’s) easily and comfortably for her patients.   In minutes the Doppler provides ultrasound information that helps Dr. Doray to determine whether the joints are healthy or not and whether further evaluation is needed.  This is especially important for patients with symptoms of jaw pain and certain types of headaches.  It can also be valuable as a screening evaluation prior to orthodontic, restorative or cosmetic treatment to ensure healthy and comfortable TMJ’s during and after treatment.

Laser Whitening

LaserSmile ®  is the most advanced, state-of-the-art accelerated tooth whitening system available today.  The dramatically shorter treatment time avoids excess heat and sensitivity common to other whitening devices, promoting your comfort and safety.  No other method produces a better result for anyone wanting whiter teeth right away.  Patients tell us that after they whiten their teeth, other people comment on how much better or younger they look.  In some cases with just one visit to the office, you can sit back, relax and in about 60 minutes you will leave with a brighter smile. 

Electric Hand-pieces

No doubt you are familiar with the dental drill!  Dr. Doray uses the latest electric hand-pieces rather than the conventional air-driven hand-pieces (drills) in her office.  Our patients prefer electric hand-pieces because they are quieter and more comfortable.  Electric hand-pieces have other properties that allow Dr. Doray to complete treatment more quickly and efficiently as well.  That’s something we can all appreciate in the dental office!
