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. That's why at Applegate Dentistry we use the Orthoralix 9200 DDE digital x-ray machine.
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!
There's no need to wait for results... Since film development is no longer needed, and the digital image is viewable immediately on our computers, we usually have all we need to do your restoration in a single visit.
Not only will the Orthoralix 9200 DDE take x-rays of all of your teeth and upper/lower jaw, but it screens for abnormalities that may not be seen with smaller, more commonly used, digital sensors.
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.

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.
