Advanced Technology


Precision Dentistry
When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Horin and his staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.

Our practice uses magnification to enhance the precision of patient care.

Dentistry is micro-surgery. Using magnification enables us to create dental restorations with incredibly precise fit and finish. You just can't fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.

Digital Imaging
Dr. Horin chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see what we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Dr. Horin digitalilzes images within the office. Digitalizing imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is one of dentistry's latest advances. Lasers can be used to diagnose cavities. They can find hidden decay in teeth in early stages, and in some cases the decay can be reversed through hygiene and fluoride treatment and may never need filling.

Intraoral Camera
Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.

Dr. Horin utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera - in some cases, just a few millimeters long. An intraoral camera allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!

Intra oral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, and your lab or insurance companies.

And also for your convenience, we will also work to obtain your insurance company estimate of the amount they should cover for more extensive treatments.
