A few years ago, Dr. Applegate started using surgical loupes (high powered microscopes coupled with a halogen light). The loupes are designed to allow him to see every detail of the tooth. Whether he is looking at a cavity, crack, or filling preparation, he is confident that he can see every last detail.
Several years ago, Dr. Applegate realized that digital video would help him diagnose cavities when they are just forming and before they get too big. Small restorations are more conservative, less costly and always better for you!
Applegate Dentistry is the only cosmetic dentistry practice in Northern Kentucky who has a Cerec machine. This high-tech equipment makes it possible to produce high quality porcelain crowns, tooth-colored fillings, and veneers in our office -- while you wait. Best of all, it only takes one visit.
We also use safer digital x-rays, water laser technology for painless dentistry, state-of-the-art oral cancer screening technology, and highly advanced instruments for detecting tooth decay in its very early stages.
Not only is our advanced, high tech dental equipment more effective, it also saves you time and makes it possible for you to be more relaxed and comfortable when having cosmetic or general dentistry procedures done.
A new reason to smile is only one visit away... We offer technology that will save you time and more of your original tooth with convenience and comfort! CEREC is a revolutionary way to restore broken or damaged teeth in a single visit, making your teeth stronger than before. The restoration is natural looking because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. It is metal-free -- no silver fillings to discolor your beautiful new smile!
The Diagnodent is one of the coolest pieces of high-tech dental equipment that we have here at Applegate Dentistry. It is a laser so highly advanced that it can detect a cavity through the enamel of your tooth. And it is totally painless! Old fashioned methods of detecting cavities, such as the Explorer Stick test, are only about 50% accurate. But with Diagnodent technology, the success rates are near 100% for accurately diagnosing a cavity.

No Shot - No Pain - No Kidding! Conventional dental drills grind away tooth... Ouch! Because we care so much about your comfort, we have invested in the ultimate in dental technology - the Waterlase Gental Dental Laser. What this means to you is that we use fewer shots and less anesthesia during procedures, ultimately reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing dental experience.

Increased sensitivity - decreased radiation! Advances in digital x-ray technology means we can get better results using only a small fraction of the radiation compared to the x-ray machines of just 30 years ago. We proudly use the Orthoralix 9200 DDE, the latest greatest in digital x-ray technology. One x-ray from this machine exposes you to less radiation than spending the afternoon in the sun. Yet it is more accurate than other machines!

At Applegate Dentistry we use a state-of-the-art device called the VELscope Oral Cancer Screening System. Along with our conventional oral cancer screening exam (which includes looking inside your mouth for any lesions that might be visible to the naked eye and feeling your neck for any suspicous bumps), we use the VELscope to literally see beneath the surface to detect potentially dangerous growths we might have otherwise missed.
