Partnership with our Patients
Optimum oral health arises out of a partnership that we develop with our patients. We are committed to providing accurate and reliable information to assist our patients in making a choice for their oral health based on their unique needs.
Our dentists will present all treatment options available and the benefits and limitations of each to help our patients make a confident decision regarding their oral health.
Part of preventing dental conditions includes regular professional dental care and a commitment to take good care of your smile at home. We thrive when our patients thrive. We are happy to discuss lifestyle habits that impact your oral health and to demonstrate proper techniques to care for the teeth and gums.

Technology
At Metro Pointe Dental, we strive to provide the best comfort for our patients with the latest technological equipment available.
Digital Intraoral Radiographs
Intraoral cameras are small hand-held cameras that capture high-resolution images of single teeth or certain areas of the mouth. In addition to the use of monitoring oral conditions, intraoral cameras provide us a way to show patients what our dentists see when they look inside the mouth.
Intraoral Camera
Intraoral radiographs, also known as x-rays, assist in the diagnosis of common dental conditions such as decay, infection, fractures, and bone loss. Because we use digital technology, our dentists can manipulate the images by zooming in to see greater detail.
Laser Dentistry
Soft tissue lasers are beneficial in many types of gum surgeries including:
• Tongue-tie
• Periodontal treatment
• Frenectomy
• Gingival sculpting
Laser dentistry can also be used in preparation for dental crowns and veneers.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic x-rays use an x-ray unit that moves around the head to capture a full mouth view of the upper and lower jaw and temporal mandibular joints. Panoramic images are used in surgical planning, bone evaluation, jaw joint diagnosis, and wisdom teeth evaluations.
Intraoral Scanner
iTero® is an intra-oral scanner that replaces conventional impressions. Thankfully, old-school impressions are no longer the only option. With state-of-the-art technology and the progressive dentist office that’s providing your treatment, making a great first impression with the iTero® scanner has never been easier. The scanner allows your dentist to take a digital impression—a highly accurate, digital 3D image of the individual characteristics of your tooth surfaces and gum tissue. The iTero® scanner is all about keeping you comfortable while delivering precise imagery, without the putty-filled impression tray that makes you gag! Taking a digital scan for your new crown, bridge, or Invisalign® aligners is quick, which allows you to spend less time at the dentist’s office and more time enjoying your new smile!

For patients who want whiter teeth fast, our in-office teeth bleaching system can reduce stains in about one hour. Many of our patients choose to continue whitening at home with our custom take-home teeth whitening kit.
