Newer Technology Means Better Results
We professionally whiten teeth at Clearwater Dentistry using Zoom technology. This is one of the most effective methods of whitening teeth. It uses laser technology and your teeth can stay white longer than many of the most popular procedures.
In addition to great dental technology, Clearwater Dentistry offers you old-fashioned patient-centered care with friendliness and compassion. In today’s world, courtesy seems to have been left by the wayside in so many situations. That is not true at Clearwater Dentistry. We appreciate you choosing us to be your dental home.

Carestream CBCT
Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) vary from traditional computed tomography (CT) systems. The CBCT systems dental professionals use to rotate around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam.
Digital Radiographs (x-rays)
Here at Clearwater Dentistry, we use digital x-rays to diagnose dental conditions swiftly and accurately. We use a sensor that is able to transfer high-quality pictures instantly to a computer. Since it is digital, the use of films and chemicals to process the pictures are eliminated. Also, the picture is in the form of a computer file allowing for ease of transfer as needed to other dental providers. Lastly, digital x-rays use up to 25% less radiation than traditional films ensuring we are using only the amount of radiation needed for our treatment.
Guided Implant Surgery
We use CBCT x-rays in conjunction with a 3-D printer to place implants properly and accurately at our office. A CBCT x-ray takes a three-dimensional picture and allows us to properly locate high-quality bone to place a dental implant. The 3-D printer allows us to produce a surgical guide (stent). The surgical guide will fit onto your teeth and is essentially the transfer of information from the 3-D x-ray to your mouth. This ensures your implant is being placed exactly where you have high-quality bone.
Intra-oral Camera
Transparency is important to us and we would like our patients to see what we see in the mouth. The camera is a handheld instrument and can easily be maneuvered inside the mouth to take pictures of the oral cavity. The use of intra-oral cameras allows us to show patients what a cavity or tartar build-up looks like in their mouth.
Zoom Whitening
Zoom is a bleaching process widely used throughout the country and around the world to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine; or from smoking. The aging process also can stain and darken your teeth. The Zoom in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp – said to accelerate the bleaching process – to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged.
