Inside Our Practice

The technology behind your care

Every system below is a station on one connected digital workflow, from your first scan to your finished smile. Each one is here for one reason: to make your visit safer, more comfortable, and more precise.

3D Imaging · Planmeca Ultra Low Dose

A complete 3D view, at a fraction of the radiation

Our Planmeca cone beam CT captures your teeth, jaw, nerves, and bone in three dimensions, the kind of detail a flat X-ray simply cannot show. The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose protocol delivers that clarity with significantly less radiation, so we can plan implants and complex treatment safely and with real precision.

  • Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging
  • Pinpoint implant and treatment planning
  • Clearer answers, fewer surprises during treatment

Same-Day Crowns · glidewell.io

Your crown designed, milled, and placed in one visit

With our in-office glidewell.io system, we scan, design, and mill your permanent crown right here in the practice. Most patients walk out the same day with a finished tooth. No putty impressions, no temporary crown, no second trip across town. Dr. Rahim has trusted Glidewell for more than 15 years.

  • A digital scan instead of messy impression putty
  • Designed and milled on-site while you wait
  • Finished in a single appointment for most cases

Digital Impressions · Four Scanners

Goodbye to the goopy mold

We use four leading intraoral scanners, including the highly mobile Medit i900, to capture a fast, accurate 3D model of your teeth in minutes. It is far more comfortable than traditional impressions, and it powers everything from crowns and clear aligners to implant planning. You can even watch your own smile build on the screen.

  • 3Shape TRIOS, iTero, Medit i900, and Planmeca
  • Fast, comfortable, and remarkably accurate
  • See your own 3D scan in real time

Soft-Tissue Laser

Gentle gum treatment, faster healing

Our diode soft-tissue laser lets us treat and reshape gum tissue with remarkable precision. Because it is so controlled, many procedures mean less bleeding, less discomfort, and a noticeably quicker recovery than traditional methods.

  • Precise gum treatment and recontouring
  • Less bleeding and swelling
  • Faster, more comfortable healing

Intraoral Cameras

See exactly what we see

A tiny camera in every treatment room shows you a clear, magnified view of your own teeth on the screen beside you. No guesswork and no jargon, just a simple picture of what is going on, so you can make confident decisions about your care.

  • A camera in every treatment room
  • Magnified, easy-to-understand images
  • Confident decisions, made together

Digital X-ray

Sharper images, far less radiation

Our digital sensors capture high-detail images of your teeth and bone the instant they are taken, with far less radiation than traditional film. They appear on screen right away, so we can catch problems early and walk you through exactly what we are seeing.

  • Significantly less radiation than traditional film
  • Instant, high-resolution images on screen
  • Easy to view and explain together

3D Printing · Formlabs

Custom appliances, printed in-house

Four Formlabs 3D printers let us produce precise models, surgical guides, night guards, and other appliances right here, instead of waiting on an outside lab. That means a better fit, faster turnaround, and full control over the quality of everything we make for you.

  • Four Formlabs printers on-site
  • Models, surgical guides, and night guards
  • Faster turnaround, a more precise fit

A Fully Digital Workflow

One connected path, from scan to finished smile

Every tool on this page is part of one connected digital workflow. Your scan, your images, your design, and your final restoration all speak the same language, so there is less guesswork, fewer remakes, and a result that fits accurately the first time.

  • Scan, design, and fabrication all connected
  • Fewer remakes and adjustments
  • Accurate, predictable results
