Technology

By investing in cutting-edge technology, we can provide our patients with the best possible care. Dr. Willis speaks about this topic across the country in the hopes of encouraging other dentists to incorporate the latest technology into their practices to provide more effective service to their patients. Below is some of the advanced equipment we use to deliver unparalleled results.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Our primary responsibility is to keep you healthy. That's why we provide oral cancer screenings to monitor for any disease and detect it early. During our hygiene appointments we screen for oral cancer using a completely painless tool called the VelScope.

This screening device emits a special light that allows us to detect areas of concern much earlier than we can with the naked eye. Early detection is critical in diagnosing and treating oral cancer.

3D Scans

Rather than looking at old film x-rays and only seeing inside your mouth from a single dimension, 3D scans allow us to see much more!

We can quickly see in and around your teeth with digital x-rays and detect decay much earlier, saving you money by avoiding the need for more expensive procedures or surgeries. And using 3D technology, we can safely plan dental implants, same-day crowns and even help analyze your airway if you have sleep apnea to determine your treatment options. 

CEREC Same-day Crowns

We make our crowns in-house, customized and measured to fit your mouth. We can create and deliver your crown in just one visit, thanks to CEREC technology! You don't have to sit for long hours to get them done. There are no temporary workers to worry about at home.

Intraoral Camera

The patient can see what the dentist sees thanks to an intraoral camera. It's about the size of a toothbrush and has a camera on the end that shows us broken fillings, fractured teeth, decay, or any other dental issue. You can see for yourself and we can discuss any necessary treatment to decide what is best for you.

SureSmile Clear Aligners

For over 20 years, our CEREC 3D scanners have allowed us to make same-day crowns. However, we can now use the same digital impression system to collect the information required to provide SureSmile Clear Aligners treatment without needing those impressions. Furthermore, digital impressions are usually more accurate and more comfortable, allowing you to start your case much faster.

Digital Anesthesia

When it comes to dental treatment, most patients dislike "the shot." That is why, for over 20 years, Dr. Willis has used a computerized technique to numb patients. The WAND is a computer-assisted local anesthesia system that guides dentists as they administer dental injections, making the procedure much more comfortable.

Computer-Enhanced Treatment Planning

Special software on our computers allows us to evaluate your dental CT scan in three dimensions for bone quality, bone quantity, and bone location, enabling the best possible placement of your dental implants. This allows us to begin working on your desired final look and feel to ensure an ideal result where your dental implants are concerned.
