Advanced Technology

At Alpharetta Smile Center, we invest in the latest dental technology to provide care that is more precise, comfortable, and efficient. Here are some of the tools we use to give you the best results:

Precision Dentistry

We use electric handpieces (instead of traditional air-driven drills), which offer:

• Greater precision and smoother results
• Less vibration and noise
• A more comfortable experience during your procedure

CEREC® Same-Day Crowns

With our CEREC system, we can design and create crowns, inlays, onlays, or veneers in a single visit.

• Digital scans create a 3D model of your teeth
• Crowns are milled from ceramic blocks while you wait
• Restorations are custom-shaded for a natural look

Digital Imaging (X-Rays)

Digital X-rays allow us to see what can’t be detected with the eye alone. They help us:

• Find cavities between teeth
• Check bone levels and root health
• Diagnose cysts, tumors, or trauma damage

Why digital?

• 50% less radiation than traditional X-rays
• Sharper, computer-based images
• Easy to share with specialists or insurance

Intraoral Camera

A tiny camera lets us show you clear, magnified images of your teeth and gums right on the screen.

• Helps you understand your diagnosis
• Speeds up treatment decisions
• Creates a permanent record for future comparison

Digital Records

Our office is fully digital — no paper charts or film X-rays. This means:

• Faster and more secure recordkeeping
• Easier transfers to specialists or insurance
• Convenient, streamlined check-in on iPads for new patients
