Advanced Technology
Precision Dentistry
When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Drs. Pasinski, Van Dyke, Worthley, Durante, and their staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.
Our practice uses high power magnification to enhance the precision of patient care.
Dentistry is micro-surgery. Using dental loupes is similar to the one an ophthalmologist uses enables us to create dental restorations with incredibly precise fit and finish. You just can’t fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.
In addition to allowing precise, close-up work, the dental loupes direct a beam of light directly on the teeth, minimizing glare for you.
Many dentists use air-driven “hand-pieces” (the dental term for “drills”). While acceptable for many procedures, these “whiney sounding” air-powered hand pieces all have a degree of non-concentricity; they do not rotate perfectly smoothly.
For the most precise aspects of restorative procedures, we use electric hand-pieces. This results in extraordinarily precise interfaces between your tooth and your new restoration (dental crown, tooth veneer, or tooth filling). This will bring more comfort to you as well. With a more precise tool, there is less vibration and less noise.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is one of dentistry’s latest advances. The laser delivers energy in the form of light. Depending on the intended result, this energy travels at different wavelengths and is absorbed by a “target.” In dentistry, these targets can be gum tissue. Each one absorbs a different wavelength of light while reflecting others. Laser dentistry can be used for soft tissue related procedures. For soft tissue (surgical) procedures it eliminates the need for suturing and healing is much faster.

- Apthous Ulcer treatment (canker sore)
- Frenectomy (tongue-tie release) without anesthesia or sutures
- Crown lengthening, gingivectomy and other gum corrections
