Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry is the most advanced medical procedure for the fearful dental patient. Sedation is more effective than nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" and leaves you remembering almost nothing of your visit. Most importantly, it's safe, comfortable and effective. If you experience fear and anxiety at the dentist, Sedation Dentistry enables you to get the top-notch dental treatment you need without the overwhelming fear. Sedation dentistry is ideal for someone with a busy schedule. We are able to combine several appointments into one to save you time. Dr. Geraets is specially trained and licensed to perform Sedation Dentistry and is a member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology.

Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)

Dental x-rays can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image directly into a computer monitor. This larger image helps the patient understand the doctor's explanations more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in" on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to this new technology is that it reduces the amount of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster. The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed for developing the image.

OralCDx

OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection, a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the last 50 years.

OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.

Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars” missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes a neural network-based image processing system specifically adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy samples.

DIAGNOdent

The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized tooth substances without x-ray exposure.
