Most of us don’t relish the idea of a dental visit.  However, with dental technology improving every day, these visits are becoming less stressful, less painful and much quicker.     Dr. Alper is constantly researching the best and most efficient tools in dentistry.  He only works with effective, state of the art technology; technology that is proven to make your dental visits easier.   

Please don’t hesitate to ask us about the tools that we use in the office.  They are there for your benefit and your comfort and we encourage you to understand them. 

The majority of people say that their largest dental fear is the needle.  That is why Dr. Alper uses  The STA system.  This electric novocaine dispensing device  is clinically proven for improved delivery of anesthetic and higher patient comfort levels.  The dosage is highly localized so that there is a minimal amount of numbing neccessary to your face and lips.  This way you don’t have to plan your whole day around a numb mouth. 

For more pleasant crown and veneer appointments, the  Lava COS machine allows for quick capture of tooth anatomy.  This means no biting down into gooey impression material and speedy, simple impression taking of your full mouth. 

Dr. Alper also uses a highly advanced digital radiographs system and keeps digital records.  Digital radiographs are captured by a sensor, not film. The images are much sharper and smaller fillings can be discovered before they grow into larger treatments.  In addition and more importantly, since digital radiographs require about a sixth of the radiation, patient exposure is greatly reduced.

All of the handpieces used in the office are fiber optic.  While an overhead light is an invaluable tool to for your dentist to see dental decay, Fiber Optic handpieces carry their own, additional light so that Dr. Alper has a much clearer view of any tooth that he is working on.  With better visualization, Dr. Alper is able to take care of decay more quickly and more accurately remove all diseased tooth structure.
