Advanced Dental Technology in Silver Spring, MD
Our office uses advanced dental technology to provide the best dental care. Our technology helps us provide more accurate diagnoses for better treatment outcomes.
Digital 3D imaging provides detailed, high-resolution images so our team can create treatment plans with a high level of precision. This leads to more effective and efficient interventions to improve the care we provide for patients.
Advanced technology reduces the discomfort and recovery time associated with traditional dental procedures. Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding and promotes faster healing. Our goal is to make the patient experience more comfortable and less invasive. With the addition of dental lasers and other technology, our patients are happier during the procedure and with the outcome.
We invest in advanced dental technology to provide more convenient treatments for our patients. With the addition of CEREC, we can create same-day dental restorations, saving you time.

We want our current and new patients to know that we are devoted to their dental health and comfort. The technology we utilize in our office is essential for providing high-quality care and improving patient satisfaction.
SprintRay 3D Printing
Our office uses SprintRay 3D Printing. SprintRay 3D Printing helps us reduce the turnaround times for dental appliances. We use this dental technology to create same-day dental appliances.
We do most dental work right here in our office instead of sending it out to labs. This means you get quicker service. We can also keep much of our lab work in-house for a fast turnaround on dental devices like nightguards and clear aligners.
3D printers are a valuable tool for almost every type of treatment. The SprintRay 3D printing allows us to provide high-quality, efficient dental services. 3D printing is precise and provides a superior fit and finish for dental devices.
CEREC
CEREC stands for Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. The complete CEREC unit allows our dentist to design, create, and place ceramic restorations in a single visit. CEREC technology allows us to take digital images of your teeth. Then we convert the images into a 3-D virtual model. CEREC eliminates the need for messy impressions, temporary restorations, and multiple visits over weeks and weeks to the dentist.
With CEREC, your dentist can design a beautiful, custom-made restoration on their computer screen. Once the dentist approves the final design, we will send it to a milling machine. The milling unit creates high-quality restorations that our dentists can fit and place in our Silver Spring dentist office in one visit.
3-D Imaging
With everything going digital, our scans can be sent to the lab, and 3D models can be printed. This assures greater accuracy than the old stone models we have always worked with. 3D printing can also fabricate many other dental appliances with advanced plastics. We can create temporary restorations, mouthguards, dentures, and retainers in our office. As the technology improves and costs come down, 3D fabrication technology will make its way from the lab to us.
We use 3-D imaging to take high-resolution images of the soft and hard tissue in the mouth. This includes the teeth, jaw bone, nerves, and gums. These images are more precise and accurate than traditional 2-D imaging methods.
3-D imaging can help with the diagnosis and treatment planning. We use this technology for dental implants, orthodontics, cosmetic procedures, and restorative treatments. 3-D imaging also limits the amount of radiation exposure.
A scan can produce a wide range of views and angles to enhance and use for a complete evaluation. Also, using 3-D imaging technology often creates a more convenient and pleasant dental visit for you.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are an alternative to traditional X-rays that emit a lower percentage of radiation. These X-rays also provide a more detailed image.
We can produce digital X-rays immediately after we take them, and our dentist can view them on their computer screen. We can enlarge, enhance, and view your X-rays without re-exposing you to more radiation.
Computer-Guided Dental Implants
When we plan and place dental implants, we analyze the surrounding bone structure to find the most viable implantation site. We use state-of-the-art dental technology like 3-D imaging, CBCT scanners, and digital X-rays to plan the most effective treatment.
Our dental technology can help plan a more precise and detailed treatment plan for dental implants. You can enjoy high-quality and long-lasting restorations backed by advanced dental technology.
Laser Dentistry
Today’s patients want not only functional dentistry but also comfortable, effective, and safe care. Our laser is unique because it is an “all-tissue” laser. It redefines the dental experience.
The Waterlase iPlus offers us complete versatility across all tissue types. We can do all soft tissue and restorative procedures on hard tissue (teeth), often without an anesthetic. Imagine this minimally invasive dentistry on our young patients that is now simple and safe. It will not leave them anxious to return.
Using the Waterlase iPlus causes minimal discomfort and often eliminates the need for anesthesia. This results in quicker recovery times and a more pleasant experience for patients. The Waterlase iPlus also ensures high precision during some dental treatment. This precision reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
The Waterlase iPlus offers dental laser technology that promotes a sterile environment to reduce the risk of infection.
