Guided Biofilm Therapy™ (GBT)
We’re proud to be a Guided Biofilm Therapy™ (GBT) certified practice, offering the most advanced approach to preventive dental care for our hygiene appointments. GBT uses a mixture of warm water, air, and fine powder to gently remove biofilm (the sticky bacterial layer that leads to cavities and gum disease).
The process is guided by a dye that highlights plaque on your teeth and gums, allowing our hygienists to remove buildup with unmatched precision while protecting your enamel and soft tissues. It’s comfortable, minimally invasive, and ideal for both adults and children. GBT helps prevent gum inflammation, reduces tooth sensitivity, and promotes long-term oral health — making your cleaning experience smoother and more effective than ever.
Intraoral Cameras
Seeing is believing! Our intraoral cameras enable both our team and patients to view detailed, real-time images of the inside of the mouth. This small, handheld device captures high-definition photos of your teeth and gums, helping us identify issues such as cracks, worn fillings, or early signs of decay.
By projecting these images onto a chairside monitor, you can see exactly what we see — turning your appointment into an informative and collaborative experience. Intraoral imaging enhances transparency and ensures that you fully understand your treatment options.
Digital X-Rays
We use digital X-rays for fast, safe, and accurate imaging at our office. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% while producing instant, high-resolution images.
These detailed images enable our dentists to assess the health of your teeth, roots, and bone structure, facilitating the early detection of cavities, infections, or other concerns. Because the results appear immediately on-screen, we can discuss findings with you right away — no waiting for the film to develop.
iTero 3-D Scanner
Say goodbye to messy dental impressions! The iTero 3-D scanner captures precise digital models of your teeth using quick, comfortable, and completely noninvasive imaging. This advanced technology is essential for treatments like Invisalign® aligners, crowns, and bridges, where accuracy is key.
The iTero system creates a detailed 3D map of your mouth, enabling Drs. Richard and VerSchave to design restorations and orthodontic plans that fit perfectly. You’ll even be able to preview a digital simulation of your future smile before treatment begins.
Laser Technology
Laser dentistry allows us to perform certain procedures with greater precision and comfort than ever before. Our dental laser technology can be used for soft tissue contouring, periodontal therapy, and even gentle cavity treatment.
Lasers minimize bleeding, reduce the need for anesthesia, and speed up healing times — all while delivering exceptional accuracy. This technology makes treatments more efficient and comfortable for patients of all ages.
