State-of-the-Art Technology
We take full advantage of the latest and most advanced technologies to bring you the best dental treatment available. You can read about some of the equipment we use to care for your teeth and gums below.
Perioscope
Using the Periscope, we can effectively treat gum disease in about 90% of our patients without surgery. Highly magnified images of the surface of the tooth root show us precisely where hardened tartar is present. These images guide us in the process of removing bacterial contaminations that were previously only visible with oral surgery.

3D Cone Beam X-rays
Our 3D cone beam X-ray (CT scan) captures three-dimensional images of the jawbone, allowing us to review your oral anatomy from all angles and plan proper treatment. The system produces crisp 3D images in seconds while using far less radiation than medical CT scans.

Ultrasonic Scaler
Ultrasonic scalers use high-frequency vibrations to gently and effectively remove plaque and calculus from teeth, as well as bits of inflamed tissue from the areas between the teeth and gums.

Oral DNA Testing & Antibiotic Therapy
DNA testing is done to diagnosis the type of bacteria that is present in your mouth so we can prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. The DNA saliva test can also show if you are resistant to a particular type of antibiotic.
Antibiotic therapy aims to control bacterial infections, reduce inflammation, and support healing in periodontal disease. It helps manage oral infections and prevent complications during treatments like scaling or surgery

Growth Proteins
When a tooth has been missing for a period of time, the underlying bone essentially melts away. We use growth proteins to rebuild bone to help support surrounding teeth and allow for dental implants to be placed.

Guided Tissue Regeneration
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is a surgical technique used to promote the regeneration of lost periodontal tissues, such as bone and soft tissues, by using a barrier membrane to guide healing.

Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras transmit images to a monitor, providing real-time visualization of your mouth and allowing you to see what your doctor sees. This technology is helpful when discussing treatment options and preventive measures.

Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays while capturing a high-quality image that is rapidly processed. Dr. Bakuri can more easily educate patients about any problems by zooming in on small areas.

Soft Tissue Diode Laser
Soft tissue lasers are used in cosmetic procedures such as gum contouring to gently remove tissue while cauterizing blood vessels, thereby reducing healing time and minimizing discomfort. This tool is also used to disinfect pockets between the gums and teeth.
