Technology and Sterilization

The Latest in Technology

We believe it is important to keep up with the latest developments and equipment in dentistry. They help us provide dental procedures faster and with less pain. For example, we stopped using the old-fashioned x-ray machine. The new digital radiography machine allows us to take radiographs with less radiation. We then take those radiographs and enlarge them on a computer screen to help educate our patients.

• State-of-the-Art Patient Education System
• Digital Radiographs  Dr. Harter believes it is important patients are protected from any possible harmful effects from radiation. This is why we use digital radiography, which uses less radiation compared to conventional dental x-ray machines.
• Anxiety Treatment with Oral Sedation
• Special Cushions  We offer special cushions that form to your body for body support-your neck, back, knees to make you as comfortable as possible.
• Easy Access for Handicapped
