Our Modern Dental Technology
At our office, Dr. Furgurson and his team use modern technology to find and treat dental problems. These advanced tools allow us to provide more accurate, comfortable, and efficient care. From treating gum disease to planning dental implants, our modern technology ensures that you get the best possible treatment.
LiteTouch Laser
Dental lasers are a painless and quick way to treat the teeth and gums. The LiteTouch Laser can precisely treat the gums with less bleeding after treatment and no need for stitches. We use this laser to reshape the gums, treat gum disease, and expose implants.
T-Scan
We use the T-Scan to evaluate your bite pattern. When we identify bite imbalances, we can reduce jaw pain and headaches from TMJ problems. We also use this tool before we place implants. Using the T-Scan ensures your new restoration will keep your bite balanced.
CBCT (Cone Beam CT Scans)
This alternative to traditional dental X-rays takes 3-D images of your mouth. We can see your soft tissues and jawbone with CBCT scans to create a custom treatment plan for you.
This technology creates a full picture of your mouth. It helps us treat conditions like sleep apnea and plan for dental implants.
iTero Scanner
You don’t have to deal with goopy impression trays any longer. We use the iTero scanner to take digital images of your mouth. This handheld device creates high-resolution images. We can save these images on a computer, which is also helpful when we plan restorations or Invisalign treatment.
