Advanced Technology for Exceptional Care
We use state-of-the-art technology to make dentistry more efficient, so you spend less time taking care of your smile and more time showing it off.
Our high-tech equipment and dental treatments make your dental visits more comfortable, too.
With all of the recent advancements in dental technology, your trips to our Tucson dental offices will always be as pleasant as they are effective.
Practically-Painless Injections
Did you know that most of the discomfort you feel during a dental procedure is the initial numbing shot? We can reduce and sometimes even eliminate this discomfort in just two easy steps. Combined with our relaxing amenities, you might not even notice that you’re getting a shot!
Before we get started, we will apply a high-strength topical numbing gel at the site of the injection. A few minutes later, once the area is significantly numb, we’ll administer the anesthetic using a device called the DentalVibe® The DentalVibe emits ultrasonic vibrations that travel to the brain faster than the sensation of pain, effectively blocking the sensation of an injection. The best part? The DentalVibe doesn’t even look like a needle, which is often a big relief for anxious patients—especially kids!
Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Dr. Stratman is one of the first Tucson dentists to utilize cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to detect problems and conditions in the teeth, soft tissues, and facial bones. Just like a medical CT machine, cone beam imaging gives us a precise, 3D model of the areas we’re evaluating. This allows us to better visualize infections, cracked teeth, and abnormalities in the bones and sinuses.
With CBCT, we have the ability to provide many complex restorative and cosmetic dental treatments right here in our office instead of referring out to a specialist. It’s the current standard of care for dental implants, and Dr. Stratman never places an implant without performing a CBCT scan first.
