Dr. Rodriguez has equipped our office with cutting-edge technologies to make your treatment as comfortable, efficient, predictable and natural as possible.
Our cone beam CT scanner records detailed 3D X-rays of your teeth, jawbone and other oral structures for precise treatment planning.
Our intraoral camera allows us to take detailed, close-up photos inside your mouth, even in areas that are difficult to see during a regular exam. The images appear instantly on a screen, so you can view them alongside us. This makes it easier to understand what’s happening with your teeth and gums and helps guide clear, informed conversations about your care and treatment options.
When needed, we use a digital impression scanner to take detailed 3D impressions of your teeth. Digital impressions are more accurate than ones made with old fashioned impression “goop,” and the process is more comfortable for our patients as well. No goop to gag on!
To prepare for your implant placement, the doctors use special 3D software to simulate the procedure in advance. This ensures there will be no surprises during the actual procedure.
Dr. Rodriguez offers metal-free zirconia implants as an alternative to regular titanium implants for patients who prefer to avoid metal. Zirconia is a durable ceramic material that bonds well with bone and removes concerns related to the rare metal sensitivities some patients may have.
PRF stands for “platelet-rich fibrin,” a natural substance found in your blood. To help accelerate healing after certain treatments, Dr. Rodriguez will take a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. This process concentrates the PRF, which is then applied directly to the treatment site to promote faster and more effective healing.
Ozone therapy uses a highly purified form of oxygen to support a healthier oral environment. Dr. Rodriguez uses ozone in controlled amounts to help reduce harmful bacteria, enhance oxygen delivery to tissues and promote natural healing.
Using the CEREC system, Dr. Rodriguez is able to scan your mouth, design a new crown, create it and place it in your mouth—all in one appointment in our office.
