Advanced Digital Imaging And Scanning

Accurate diagnostics are the foundation of our life-changing dentistry approach. Our Stillwater, MN dental practice utilizes sophisticated imaging tools to gain a comprehensive understanding of your oral health and carefully plan your customized treatments.

CBCT 3D Imaging

Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbone, and nerve pathways. This technology is essential for the safe and precise placement of dental implants and comprehensive restorative planning.

Comfort-Focused Dental Treatments

We are dedicated to making your time in the dental chair as relaxing as possible. Our Stillwater, MN dental practice features innovative tools designed to significantly improve your comfort during routine and complex procedures.

DentaPen For Gentle Anesthetic

When local anesthetic is needed, we use the DentaPen system to ensure the process is as gentle as possible. This computerized delivery system significantly reduces the pressure and pinch typically associated with numbing, helping to ease dental anxiety.

Solea CO2 Laser

The Solea laser is a revolutionary tool that allows us to perform many hard and soft tissue procedures with incredible precision. In many cases, it eliminates the need for the dental drill and traditional anesthesia, offering a remarkably quiet and gentle experience.

Precision Diagnostics For TMJ And Sleep

Resolving complex issues like chronic jaw tension and sleep-disordered breathing requires more than a simple visual exam. We use advanced neuromuscular technology to evaluate exactly how your muscles and jaw joints function together.

K-7 System And EMG

We utilize the K-7 System and Electromyography to accurately track your jaw movements and measure muscle resting states. This objective data helps us create a highly effective, conservative treatment plan for TMJ and bite therapy.
