Your child should have his or her teeth first visually evaluated about six months after he or she gets the first tooth. This is usually around age 12 months. This also gives the dentist an opportunity to discuss your child's dental home care and answer any questions you may have. Children typically have their first dental cleaning at age three. Taking a child to the dentist at an early age helps them become comfortable with the process, and establishes good habits early on in their development.

Our iTero Element Scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our iTero Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty based impressions, but its faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.
To take a digital x-ray, we will place a small sensor in your mouth that is connected to a computer by a thin wire. The sensor takes a picture of your teeth and immediately sends it to the computer. You can view the x-rays with your doctor on a monitor right next to the dental chair!
