BIOLASE

We proudly use Biolase® laser technology in our office.  The Biolase® ezlase™ 940 is a dental laser used for effective and precise tissue manipulation.  Often these procedures are performed using only a topical anesthetic which provides greater patient comfort.  The laser is used to help maintain and speed of healing times of the soft oral tissues and dental enamel.  Ask Dr. Vinson how the Biolase® ezlase™ 940 can also take away excess gum tissue, help speed up the eruption of some teeth and uncover some teeth as well.

TADs

Made of a bio-compatible titanium alloy, TADs are miniscrew anchors which are inserted into specific places in the mouth to be used as a fixed point from which teeth can move. Click here to learn more about TADs.

Advanced Imaging

We use the KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System which is one of the most advanced 3D imaging systems available.  The KODAK 9000 3D imaging system allows precise visualization of dental structures in their actual spatial representation.  Dr. Vinson is able to display custom views of the teeth using this technologically advanced xray machine.  This three dimensional view of the teeth provides Dr. Vinson with the "real" view of your dental structures thus reassuring accurate diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning.
