3-D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology creates detailed 3-D images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, providing a comprehensive view that traditional x-rays can’t match. This advanced imaging is beneficial for planning complex treatments like implants, root canals, and Invisalign®. Dr. Vo uses CBCT technology to ensure precise, customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, leading to more predictable and successful outcomes.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone is a powerful antimicrobial agent that eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi while supporting the body’s natural healing process. When applied to the teeth and gums, ozone penetrates deeply to disinfect and oxygenate tissues, creating an environment that promotes repair and prevents the progression of oral diseases.

Ozone therapy is versatile and can be used in a variety of dental applications, including:

  • Cavity Prevention and Treatment  Ozone can halt early-stage tooth decay by killing bacteria in the affected area, allowing the tooth to remineralize naturally.
  • Periodontal (Gum) Therapy — Ozone therapy is highly effective in treating gum disease, as it targets bacteria below the gumline, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthier gums.
  • Root Canal Treatment — Ozone can disinfect root canals more thoroughly, eliminating harmful bacteria and improving the treatment's long-term success.
  • Oral Lesion and Ulcer Healing — Cold sores, canker sores, and other oral lesions can heal faster with ozone therapy, as it reduces discomfort and accelerates tissue repair.
  • Post-Surgical Healing — After dental procedures like extractions or implants, ozone therapy helps minimize the risk of infection and speeds up the healing process.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays are essential for accurate and efficient dental diagnosis. We use advanced sensors to capture high-definition images of your teeth and surrounding structures with minimal radiation exposure, ensuring a safer experience. Digital x-rays allow Dr. Vo to identify and treat dental issues early, which can prevent more extensive treatment down the line. We can easily store, share, and review the images during appointments, enhancing your understanding of your dental health.

Panoramic X-Rays

A panoramic x-ray provides a full view of your entire mouth, including your teeth, jaw joints, and sinuses. This broad perspective helps Dr. Vo assess overall oral health and detect issues that may not be visible on individual tooth x-rays, such as impacted teeth or bone abnormalities. Panoramic x-rays are quick, comfortable, and provide essential insights that aid in comprehensive care planning.

Nitrous Oxide or "Laughing Gas"

For patients who experience dental anxiety, nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas," offers a safe and effective way to relax during treatments. Administered through a small mask, nitrous oxide takes effect quickly, helping you feel calm and at ease without the need for deeper sedation. It’s a safe option for adults and children, with effects wearing off almost immediately after removing the mask, allowing you to resume your day comfortably.
