Dr. Summe frequently uses a soft tissue laser to aid in creating beautiful smiles. This is a chair side procedure that is easily tolerated by patients. It is a very useful tool to remove a slight amount of gum tissue to expose a tooth so that it can be moved into position. We also use it for frenectomies and to adjust uneven gum heights to create a more stunning smile!

Digital X-Rays

Digital radiographs are used in our office to provide us with invaluable information about your oral and dental health. By using wireless sensors and high tech computer software, we are able to generate digital images of your mouth and facial structures significantly faster than traditional X-rays. Not only are they friendly to the environment, they are much safer — reducing your radiation exposure significantly. They also produce a much more accurate image with better detail.
