Dental Implants

Using 3D X-rays and 3D imaging technology, our doctors can plan your implant placement ahead of time, reducing the amount of time in the chair and surgery needed. They create a computer-designed surgical guide which makes for less invasive surgery and better implant placement. You can get the entire implant procedure in the comfort of our office.

“I have just completed my third implant with Dr Matt Sheldon and Dr Michel Furtado. The third implant was to replace a bridge and after having done two implants earlier there was no question in my mind to replace my bridge with an implant. I can’t say enough about the friendly staff and how comfortable they make you feel. The whole procedure is painless and I would never consider anything else but an implant should the need arise in the future, nor would I consider going anywhere else but to Dr Matt and Dr Furtado. I trust them to have my best interest in mind.”

Periodontal treatment model

Periodontal Treatment

Our doctors are among fewer than 100 in the USA who use the non-surgical Perioscope to treat gum disease. A Perioscope is a periodontal endoscope, a slender, tubular optical instrument used for examining the interior of a body. With the Perioscope, you can avoid gum surgery in nearly every case.

Our Technology

High-Tech for Quality Care and Efficiency

3D X-rays

Our Cone Beam scanner captures 3D images of the jaw, teeth, bone and entire skull, allowing the dentist to get a view from every angle and plan proper treatment. The system produces crisp 3D images in seconds, while using far less radiation than medical CT scans.

Perioscope

The Perioscope allows us to see the actual dental roots beneath the surface of the gums. Now, because of this new technology, we are able to clean tooth roots without surgery. This reduces not only pain for the patient, but recovery time too.

Digital X-rays

These high-speed X-rays use 80 percent less radiation than ordinary film X-rays, yet produce a nearly instantaneous image with the ability to use color contrast in that image.

Osstell Implant integration diagnostics

Putting chewing forces on an implant before it’s fully integrated into the bone can cause failure of the implant, which must then be removed. This instrument enables us to clinically measure implant stability and integration with the jawbone before the restoration is placed.

Ultrasonic scalers

Ultrasonic scaling is typically more comfortable and efficient than ordinary hand scaling. Our fully adjustable ultrasonic scalers can be reduced in intensity in sensitive tooth situations.

Computer-generated surgical guides

Unique, advanced computer software helps Dr. Furtado plan surgical guides that will ensure unparalleled accuracy in the surgical placement of your dental implant posts. Implants placed with custom computer-generated surgical guides are incredibly accurate, compared to “freehand” implant placement.

Oral DNA testing

A simple saliva DNA test can now determine the specific type and quantity of disease-causing bacteria in your mouth. Using this technology, we are now able to specifically identify the oral bacteria that can cause infections before they become an issue.

Treatment planning software

This software creates high resolution images that allow Dr. Sheldon to precisely plan implant surgery, thus reducing the possibility of errors and decreasing time spent in surgery for patients.

Plasma Rich Fibrin (PRF)

It has been reported as the most stable centrifuge and offers 4.5–6 times lower undesirable vibrations. The system utilizes a simplified chairside procedure which results in the production of a thin, compressed layer of platelet rich fibrin rich in platelets and growth factors for rapid healing.

Intra-Oral Scan for Digital Impressions

Digital impressions are the state-of-the-art alternative for having to take impressions with goop. They are more accurate and faster than the traditional goop, with no mess and the ability to take breaks mid-scan.

Laser

The Fotona dental laser is used to provide comfortable and efficient treatment for gum disease, root canal therapy and more.

Microscope

We use high definition microscope to analyze plaque samples of our patients. This technology allows us to identify oral microbes and determine a target-specific antibiotic therapy for patients with gum disease.
