Welcome to Waterside Dental Care, where advanced technology meets compassionate care. Our dental practice is equipped with the latest in dental technology, ensuring that every treatment is as efficient, effective, and comfortable as possible.
Digital X-Rays
Using the most advanced dental technology possible is just as important as staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing you with the safest and most convenient treatment options available, we utilize advanced digital x-ray technology in our office.
Digital x-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer dental photos, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional x-ray technology.
Our practice is focused on making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. At your next appointment, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about our digital x-ray technology.
Intraoral Camera
You know the importance of prevention when it comes to your dental health, and we’re always looking for new, improved ways to help you achieve a healthy smile for life. While x-rays provide valuable information, they don’t give a complete view of everything that is going on inside your mouth. With the use of an intraoral camera, we can see every aspect of your teeth and mouth with incredible detail – uncovering cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings, and excessive wear. When we can discover oral problems early on, your treatment is much less invasive and much more cost-effective.
Our intraoral camera is small, about the size of the mirror we use during your regular hygiene appointments. You probably wouldn’t even notice we’re using it, except that with the intraoral camera, you have the opportunity to see everything we see on a monitor. This is a great tool to help you become more informed about your dental health, as it gives you a clear understanding of your teeth’s condition and it allows you to make a more informed decision regarding your treatment options.

Laser Dentistry
Laser therapy in dentistry provides patients with a more comfortable dental treatment experience. Using laser dentistry, your doctor is able to deliver a precise treatment that is more comfortable, quicker, and provides more stunning results.
Benefits Of Laser Therapy
There are several benefits to receiving laser therapy dental treatment. These include the following:
- Many laser treatments do not require anesthesia, and the recovery time is much quicker than with traditional treatment methods.
- Treatments are more comfortable.
- There is less potential chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise.
There are two different types of laser dentistry: hard tissue and soft tissue.
- Hard tissue includes treatments such as cavity detection, dental fillings, and tooth sensitivity improvements.
- Soft tissue treatments include gum reshaping, gum surgery, and muscle attachment improvements.
Procedures such as removing benign oral tumors, regenerating nerves, overcoming sleep apnea, whitening teeth, and treating TMD are also considered laser dentistry treatments.
