Dr. Lacey understands that good dental care isn't just about your teeth, it's about how you feel.  We stay abreast of the latest technology to ensure that our patients receive the best dental care possible. 

• Intraoral Camera
  At San Juan Smiles, we use small cameras right inside your mouth to take highly magnified digital photos of your teeth. These photos can be displayed on a computer screen for both patient and doctor, and are invaluable in diagnosing and recording dental problems.  Intra-oral photos also allow our patients to view what the dentist sees when they are evaluating your teeth.
   
• Diagnodent
  A cavity can be repaired much more easily in it's earliest stages, often without the need for anesthetic. At San Juan Smiles, we use a specialized laser to detect cavities in the pits and grooves of teeth long before they could be found with traditional techniques. With this state-of-the-art instrument, called DIAGNODENT, we are able to keep teeth healthy and natural with early intervention.
     
• Digital X-Rays
  Digital radiography (as well as panoramic and tomography) is the latest way to take and evaluate x-rays. With digital x-rays, less radiation is needed to produce high-quality images. These images can then be evaluated on a large flat-screen monitor. This allows for easier detection of any problems. With such a large image, it is also easier for patients to see and understand what is happening with their teeth.
   
• Cosmetic Digital Imaging
  Have you ever wondered what you would look like with a more beautiful smile? We have software that allows you to see and review the benefits of cosmetic treatments – before they are done. This innovative software allows us to take a digital photo of you and illustrate the various ways we can improve your teeth and enhance your smile. You’ll have a window into the new you!
