Improve Your Smile * Improve Your Life

At Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ, we pride ourselves on using the most sophisticated equipment and latest technologies for every procedure and treatment we offer. That is why we utilize the newest in diagnostic equipment and state-of-the-art laser technology.

In order to fully analyze your bite and recommend individualized treatment, Dr. Bufo uses a digital CAT scan machine called the iCAT Digital Scan. This dental CAT scan machine was the second installed in the world, and it is able to produce a 360 degree, 3D digital image of your head within seconds, making it possible for Dr. Bufo to see any section of your jaw and teeth. This enables him to diagnose joint problems and document the condition of the jaw joints and teeth throughout your treatment.

This technology is a vast improvement over the traditional X-rays that are the only means of diagnosis in most dentists’ office - only offering one view of your mouth. Also, the iCAT digital CAT Scan can be completed in minutes, rather than hours like CAT Scans in regular hospitals.

The laser technology Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ offers is also helping our patients enjoy the vast benefits of laser gum recontouring and laser periodontal therapy. Laser dentistry has many advantages over traditional methods of treatment for gum disease including extreme precision and virtually no bleeding, scarring, or painful recovery period.
