Ultrasounds are an advanced diagnostic tool we use to provide you with the best possible care. Comfortable and noninvasive, our dentist and team primarily use this technology for our physiological dentistry, such as our TMJ treatments, which aim to reduce tension headaches, popping or lock of the jaw, trouble chewing or biting, stiffness of the neck, ears or shoulders, or other symptoms of neuromuscular issues.

Because this technology is predominantly sensitive to the layers between dental structures, ultrasonic waves can be used to view areas which may be difficult to see in traditional digital X-rays. Ultrasounds allow us to view high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our dentist and team are able to use ultrasounds to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:

• Decay in between teeth
• Developmental abnormalities
• Improper tooth root positioning
• Cysts and abscesses
• Fractures in existing fillings
• Tumors
• Infection in the tooth nerves
• Bone loss
