Our Technology
iTero Digital Scanner
What it does: Captures a fast, highly detailed 3D model of your teeth in minutes—no goopy impressions, no gagging, no waiting for molds to set.
How it benefits you:
- More comfortable experience – The slim wand glides over your teeth instead of bulky impression trays
- Better-fitting restorations – Digital precision means crowns, bridges, and aligners fit more accurately the first time
- See your future smile – View digital simulations of Invisalign results before you commit to treatment
- Faster turnaround – Digital scans are sent directly to the lab, reducing wait times for your final restoration
- Real-time collaboration – Review images of your smile on the screen with us so we can plan treatment together
Intraoral Camera
What it does: High-definition camera that gives you a magnified, close-up view of your teeth and gums on a screen.
How it benefits you:
- Understand your diagnosis – See exactly what we see, including cracks, cavities, and gum issues that aren't visible to the naked eye
- Make informed decisions – When you can see the problem yourself, treatment recommendations make more sense
- Track progress over time – We save images to monitor changes and show you improvements after treatment
- Reduce uncertainty – No more wondering if treatment is truly necessary—the evidence is right in front of you
Digital X-Rays & 3D Imaging
What it does: Low-radiation digital X-rays and 3D imaging provide instant, detailed views of teeth, roots, bone structure, and hidden problem areas.
How it benefits you:
- Up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays—safer for you and your family
- Catch problems early – Detect cavities, bone loss, infections, and other issues before they become painful or expensive
- Precise implant planning – 3D imaging maps your jawbone structure so implants are placed accurately the first time
- Instant results – Digital images appear on the screen immediately, eliminating wait times and allowing us to discuss findings during your visit
- Better treatment outcomes – Clear visualization guides root canals, extractions, and complex restorative work with greater accuracy
Dental Lasers
What it does: Advanced laser technology for soft-tissue procedures, including gum contouring, periodontal treatment, and lesion removal.
How it benefits you:
- Less discomfort – Lasers are gentler on tissue than traditional scalpels, often reducing the need for local anesthesia
- Minimal bleeding – The laser cauterizes as it works, resulting in cleaner procedures
- Faster healing – Laser treatment promotes quicker recovery with less post-operative swelling
- Precise results – Allows for accurate tissue management in cosmetic and periodontal procedures
- Reduced anxiety – Many patients find laser procedures less intimidating than traditional surgical approaches
Technology Trained at the Source
Dr. Whig and Dr. Chopra chose Boston University specifically because it was the first dental school in the United States to embrace digital dentistry. "When the digital revolution made its way to the US, Boston University already had 13 scanners on the floor," explains Dr. Whig. "We wanted access to these technologies in our earliest training, not years into our careers."
That commitment to staying at the forefront of dental technology means you benefit from precise diagnostics, comfortable procedures, and treatment outcomes you can trust.
