We want to make sure you receive the best orthodontic treatment possible. For that reason, we use panoramic and cephalometric x-rays to better understand and diagnose your teeth in an accurate and safe manner. Digital x-rays provide Dr. Johnson with a more accurate picture of your teeth and jaw, which will help him determine the best treatment for you. In addition, digital x-rays have become a popular form of imaging, replacing traditional film x-rays because they expose the patient to significantly less radiation, making it a safer imaging option.
Our office also uses advanced soft tissue lasers for a variety of soft tissue procedures, such as gum recontouring. The lasers emit narrow beams of light that are able to penetrate the tissue, better assisting with the removal or shaping of soft tissues such as the gums. Soft tissue lasers have become the preferred tool when it comes to soft tissue shaping and removal because they allow for a quicker procedure and causes much less discomfort for the patient.
