› Back to top Digital X-rays In our office, we eliminate the inconvenience of standard x-rays by using digital x-ray technology. Whereas traditional x-ray images require lab time to be developed, the digital images are available moments after we take them. In addition to saving a considerable amount of time, the process is user-friendly for both dentist and patient. You can watch as the images appear on a computer screen seconds after the x-ray is taken, and the technology allows us to enlarge, highlight, magnify, and store your x-ray photos. We can enlarge prints or email them to other doctors for further diagnosis. Intraoral Camera Getting a good look inside patients' mouths has always been a challenge for dentists, but the pen-sized intraoral camera makes the task easier. Small enough to be maneuvered easily around the mouth and into hard-to-reach spaces, the camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the dentist sees and then having it explained. The camera's viewpoint can show us exactly how well you're doing with your regular home hygiene, and it's especially helpful with gum disease and other conditions that sneak up on patients without a lot of telltale pain. In addition, this sophisticated new technology can send video images to a computer to be stored, enlarged, and analyzed in depth. iTero Digital Scanner For those of you who are gaggers, you will really appreciate the newest addition to our family. The iTero is a scanner that virtually eliminates the need for the type of impressions that we would normally place in your mouth. The iTero scans your teeth and we electronically send the images to our laboratory. Who then manufactures the prescribed restoration   Vizilite and Velscope Oral Cancer Screening Download the Newsletter here Now we have new wellness exam technology that dramatically improves our ability to screen for oral abnormalities that could lead to oral cancer. Because early detection is essential to increase chances for successful treatment, we always check your whole mouth (tongue, lips, cheek lining, and gums). We have acquired Vizilite, a state-of-the-art, painless, non-invasive screening tool that helps us to see what we can't see with the unaided eye during your routine oral cancer checkup. What can you expect during a Vizilite examination? We'll ask you to rinse vigorously with a safe non-toxic solution for 30-60 seconds. The solution tastes a bit vinegary. After you rinse, we'll dim the lights and take a look inside your mouth with a special light that looks much like a glow stick. The entire procedure takes only about ten minutes. All of the screening kit components are discarded after use, so you will be the only patient ever tested with that kit. Because the chemiluminescent technology will highlight any surface irregularities including normal scarring from chewing or rubbing on your gums or cheek, we mark everything down on a map or atlas of your mouth. This gives us a baseline for future reference. We can also use our Velscope oral cancer screening to view the mouth and even take a picture under the velscopes light to forward to a specialist for analysis. We want all of our patients to have a bright and smiling future. And because in it's earliest, most treatable stages, oral cancer usually causes no pain or discomfort, we will perform this test for you every year. Famous people who have had Oral Cancer:

Hate Your CPAP? There is a better way. Obstructive sleep apnea in the past has been treated by large, intrusive, and uncomfortable masks that help to keep your airway open at night. We have a simple, oral appliance that slightly brings your lower jaw forward. Keeping your airway open, no snoring, and no apnea. If you or someone you love suspects they may have sleep apnea we also have the ability to send you home with a sleep study device so you can see if you suffer from sleep apnea in the comfort of your own bed.

Laser dentistry gives dentists such as Albany-area Dr. Roy Oyangen a huge advantage in providing the best possible dental care to patients. Putting these innovative tools to work in a variety of ways, we are able to: remove excess gum tissue and reshape gums to improve the smile's symmetry; reduce the time required for bonded fillings to cure or harden; enhance the effects of tooth whitening; and remove bacteria in the gums while reducing the healing time and discomfort associated with periodontal procedures.
The Waterlase® dental laser is a breakthrough in laser dentistry. Laser energized water, Hydrokinetics™ replaces the drill in many instances. This technology eliminates the need for drills, needles, and numbness in most cases.
