Precision Dentistry

When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Jones and his staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.

Digital Xrays

Dr. Jones chooses carefully which xrays to take and when to take them. There are many guidelines that we follow. Xrays allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. They enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental xrays are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental xrays is extremely minimal. Ds. Jones utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional xrays. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you. Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Intraoral Camera

Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.

Ds. Jones utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera designed for use in the mouth. An intraoral camera allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations.

Intra oral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, and your lab or insurance companies.
