Advanced Technologies We Utilize in Our Careful Diagnosis and Treatment Processes Include:
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are faster than conventional x-rays, and they are comfortable for you. They also aid us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. All with less radiation exposure! And with no chemical processing needed, digital technology helps us do our part to keep the environment safe.
Diagnodent
Since identifying and filling cavities is one of the most important things we do for patients, we use Diagnodent technology. This low intensity laser detects more precisely AND sooner than less accurate methods of the past. In addition to helping prevent the spread of decay, Diagnodent’s ability to catch decay early means that the fillings required are often simpler. This allows us to use minimally invasive filling procedures and preserve more natural tooth.
Tooth-colored Fillings
Composite fillings can be adhesively held in place or “bonded.” Because they can be bonded to teeth, composite fillings allow for more conservative preparations where less healthy tooth structure is removed. This often results in smaller fillings than that of amalgam (silver fillings), and they are more natural looking. The tooth-colored material is cured with a special light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth, rendering the final restoration virtually undetectable to the eye. Composite fillings are also environmentally friendly because they don’t use mercury.
Professional Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also greatly enhance your confidence and self-esteem. As an added bonus, teeth whitening can lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you take better care of them to keep them looking fabulous.

The Lumineers® Veneers System
Lumineers® are the comfortable, conservative way to a beautiful smile! Imagine what it would be like to have a smile with straight, strong, and dazzling white teeth… This is possible with the Lumineers® porcelain veneers system. In as few as TWO appointments, Dr. Hollinger can create this kind of smile for you – a smile that will radiate confidence. AND by using the Lumineers® system, we can apply the thin, custom-made veneers to the front side of your teeth without injections or the removal of sensitive tooth structure in most cases. A more healthy and attractive smile can improve your personal and professional life. Call us to schedule your cosmetic consultation.
Laser Dentistry
Cutting-edge “water” laser technology enables us to treat you more often with NO shots and NO drilling…. No kidding! With dental laser technology, Dr. Hollinger can perform many procedures with MORE COMFORT for patients than before. The laser can remove decay and prepare teeth for fillings many times without the need for anesthesia. And the noise of the high speed drill is a thing of the past when using the laser. Using laser dentistry, Dr. Hollinger can also perform some procedures that used to require a referral to a specialist. Ask us how this wonderful technology can benefit you and your smile.
