Technology
Your enjoyable dental experience depends on your comfort and safety. Black Bridge Family Dental utilize the latest technological advances in dental equipment and techniques to ensure your satisfaction with your visit and your continued excellent health.
Digital Radiographs (X-rays)
We use digital radiographs (X-rays), which offer the benefit of less radiation and are safer for you than traditional film-based X-rays. Radiographs are a necessary diagnostic tool in the field of dentistry. More than half of each tooth is hidden and surrounded by bone and gums, and the only way to truly evaluate the health of your teeth and the bone surrounding your teeth is through these necessary, diagnostic radiographs. At Black Bridge Family Dental, we research the latest trends in technology to find the solutions that best promote your overall health, safety, and comfort.
Sleep Apnea
If you or a loved one snores, you are likely aware that snoring often accompanies fitful sleep. Severe snoring may also be a sign of a more serious problem like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when an individual stops breathing for an extended period of time during sleep. Snoring happens when the soft palate relaxes to the point of cutting off the airway. Snore appliances are designed to comfortably hold the airway open during sleep. There are a wide variety of snore appliances available to you. Let the doctors at Black Bridge Family Dental select the right one that fits your needs.
Intra Oral Cameras
Quit relying on the use of small mirrors and flashlights or pulling back your tender cheek to get a better look. With an intraoral camera, you can see exactly what your dentist sees during treatment planning and dental procedures. You will have a greater understanding of both your oral health and of our recommended treatments. Our dental team uses this technology to discuss treatment options with you, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Digital Photography
Digital photography gives Black Bridge Family Dental instant images to use for cosmetic imaging or to keep on file to track your progress. Digital images can be saved electronically and are more efficient than traditional photographs that show less detail and must be taken off-site for development.
Casey Education System
You’re not just a patient at Black Bridge Family Dental. You should think of us as your partner in your dental health. And by understanding the health concerns and procedures involved in your dental health, you can take a more active role in maintaining a healthy smile. CAESY patient education is a multimedia system that covers a wide variety of dentistry topics. By watching one to two minute presentations, you will gain a better understanding of the procedures the Black Bridge Family Dental team performs.

Porcelain crowns are a discreet and effective solution to fix a number of dental problems. Black Bridge Family Dental’s in-house lab can custom mill your porcelain crowns to seamlessly blend in with your natural smile.
