Dental Technologies

Because we value our patients, we incorporate many diverse technologies and techniques into our practice.

Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays offer many advantages over conventional X-rays. They expose you to much less radiation—up to 90% less! We can check them immediately, so that you won’t have to spend extra time in the chair waiting for development. Digital X-rays are easier on the environment, too, because they don’t require all the harsh developing chemicals needed for conventional X-rays.

Laser Dentistry

Laser technology has provided us with several wonderful dental tools. A laser's intense, narrow wavelength has specific, powerful effects when it contacts both hard and soft tissues of the body. That means it can be precisely directed to only the tissues needing treatment. Using a laser often reduces bleeding and sterilizes the area at the same time.

What does this mean to you? Greater comfort and accurate treatments. In our office we use lasers for gum disease treatments, cosmetic gum re-contouring, decay detection and elimination, incision cauterizing, removal of growths, and biopsies.

Surgical operating microscope

Dr. Rodgers uses a surgical operating microscope for enhanced magnification and illumination when he works on your teeth. This allows him to see more clearly and precisely. Click Here to learn more.

Digital charts

We keep all our patient records on our secure office computers. This means that we can easily pull up your information for immediate reference at chairside or anytime you call our office with a question.

CAESY Patient Education

CAESY is an interesting and effective multi-media presentation system that helps us provide you with more information about your dental care. CAESY offers dozens of short videos that give you clear, detailed explanations of various dental procedures and dental health topics. Of course, CAESY doesn’t replace our explanations of your dental care, but it does enhance them.
