Dental Technology at Work for You

Back to Services

Technology plays many roles in dentistry. It increases comfort, promotes education, and aids in accurate diagnoses. At the Peninsula Center for Implantology, we stay current with advances in technology to bring you the best of modern dentistry.

Here are some of the technological advances you’ll find at our state-of-the-art, paperless Mountain View and San Jose dental offices:

Intraoral Cameras and Chairside Monitors: An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that takes pictures inside your mouth. Dr. Provines will display these finely-detailed images on your chairside monitor to explain his findings and help you become an informed partner in treatment planning.
Digital X-Rays: This modern form of radiography emits 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays, so it’s safer for you. We can view the images immediately on a chairside monitor, and we can also electronically transmit them to your general dentist or insurance company. Digital X-rays are easily stored, safe and secure, for future reference.
Panorex: Our Panorex X-ray machine takes panoramic, two-dimensional images. The highly detailed pictures provide a comprehensive view of your oral cavity, bones and teeth, and help Dr. Provines identify issues not easily found during a manual or visual exam.
ViziLite: Dr. Provines uses a ViziLite to screen for oral cancer. ViziLite is a life-saving tool that includes a special mouth rinse and soft light to identify suspicious soft tissue lesions in the mouth. Oral cancer claims the lives of one American every hour. Early detection greatly improves survival chances, so Dr. Provines diligently screens for this disease.
