Digital x-rays and sensors make it easy and comfortable for us to capture images of your teeth and bone that allow Dr. Lee to have an internal look at what's going on with your smile and dental health. Dental x-rays can help Dr. Lee detect problems like tooth decay and gum disease early before they become more significant concerns. 

Digital x-rays provide a clear image for Dr. Lee to make an accurate diagnosis, they're also readily available for him to review with you. Digital images emit less radiation than standard films, which makes them safer for our patients. They're also safer for the environment because they don't require harsh chemicals for development.  

Digital records eliminate the paper trail and make it easy for us to quickly communicate your needs with other providers or insurance companies, if necessary. In addition, we have your chart, x-rays, photos, and chart notes safely stored on our secure network, and can access them with the click of a button when needed. 

One modern tool that has changed root canal treatment is rotary endodontic hand tools. Made of nickel-titanium, which is flexible, rotary tools make it quicker and more comfortable for the patient when we're accessing the inner canals of their tooth. They're also electric, which helps us complete the procedure faster. 

All of these benefits mean less time in the dental chair for a root canal, and an easier path to recovery.  

Our tiny, pen-sized intraoral camera allows you to be the dentist for the day! When you can see things in a full-color picture, like a cracked or decayed tooth, that Dr. Lee sees, it gives you a better understanding of why specific treatment procedures may be necessary for your smile. 

If you've had dental work done in the past, you probably understand how uncomfortable and messy impressions of your teeth could be. Well, gone are the days of using a goopy material to capture the impression, now we can scan a 3-D image of your tooth that is much more comfortable and efficient for you.
