Technology

New technology has been incorporated into our practice to improve safety, comfort, and diagnostic capability for our patients. The staff and I continue to take continuing education courses to ensure your treatment and care are efficient and up to date.

Communications: E-mail and texting confirmation

Contacting our patients has changed over the past few years with more people opting for mobile phone, texting and emails for communications. We’ve adapted to improve your access to us by responding to texts and emails to confirm appointments. For those who prefer the telephone, we have kept that method for you.

Digital x-rays

More importantly, digital radiography exposes you to up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays. It's much safer than the old technology. The digital images can be enlarged and allows you to see what we do, helping us demonstrate and explain your treatment plan. This technology allows us to communicate with our specialists quicker by allowing us to emailing images instantaneously.tech.jpg
