Modern dental care has evolved far beyond basic cleanings and fillings. Today’s patients expect precision, comfort, and efficiency—and the right technology makes all the difference. Advanced dental equipment allows for same-day solutions instead of multiple appointments, precise treatment planning rather than guesswork, and exceptional outcomes that weren’t possible just a decade ago.
At Birch Family Dental, we’ve invested in cutting-edge technology because our patients deserve the very best care available. Led by Dr. Bryant Birch’s expertise in advanced dental procedures and supported by experienced professionals like dental hygienist Ciera Birch, who brings 23 years of clinical experience to our team, we’re committed to innovation that allows us to provide treatments that many practices in our area simply cannot offer. From advanced laser systems to 3D imaging and same-day crowns, when you’re dealing with your oral health, you deserve the most advanced, proven solutions available.
Advanced Laser Technology for Better Healing
One of our most significant technological advantages lies in our comprehensive laser systems. “We have hygiene lasers that do laser bacterial reduction for our patients. What that does is reduce the bacterial load in a patient’s mouth from millions of tiny particles of bacteria down to hundreds,” explains Ciera Birch.
This laser bacterial reduction represents a game-changing approach to dental hygiene. Rather than simply cleaning your teeth, we’re actively disinfecting your mouth at the microscopic level before treatment begins. Our epic diode laser is remarkably versatile – it can treat TMJ problems, cold sores, sensitive teeth, and even provide laser teeth whitening services.
Dr. Bryant Birch, with his extensive experience in oral surgery and advanced dental procedures, utilizes the sophisticated WaterLase system for surgical treatments. “The WaterLase laser is used for cutting, so the doctors can use it for gingival contouring or procedures on the tongue or cheeks,” notes Ciera Birch. This technology allows Dr. Birch to perform more precise, comfortable procedures with faster healing times compared to traditional methods.
Digital Imaging and Same-Day Solutions
Precision in dental treatment starts with accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Birch’s expertise in complex cases is enhanced by our advanced imaging capabilities. “For a full arch case, we have patients come in for a consultation appointment where we take a big 3D image, basically a CT scan of their whole oral cavity,” explains Birch about our comprehensive approach to complex cases.
Our CBCT (Cone Beam CT) technology provides three-dimensional images that allow Dr. Birch to see exactly what he’s working with, down to the smallest detail. This level of precision is particularly important for his specialty in dental implant procedures and complex oral surgery cases.
We’ve also invested heavily in same-day crown technology. “We have more than one scanning machine since we have two doctors, and they can scan and make a crown the same day. We have the milling machines in the office, the firing machines in the office,” Birch explains. This means you can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a perfectly crafted, permanent crown—no temporary crowns or multiple appointments required.
Patient Education Through Technology
Understanding your treatment is crucial for making informed decisions about your oral health. We use an AI overlay system that transforms complex X-rays into easy-to-understand visual aids. “We have AI overlay technology that goes over our X-rays, so we can show patients in a color-coded way what’s on the X-rays so it’s clear for them to see what we’re talking about,” Birch explains.
This technology helps bridge the gap between clinical diagnosis and patient understanding. When you can actually see what Dr. Birch is discussing in clear, color-coded images, you’re better equipped to make decisions about your treatment. We also utilize high-quality intraoral cameras and digital scanning for cosmetic procedures, including our try-on smile technology that lets you preview potential results before committing to treatment.
Real Results and Better Outcomes
The true measure of any technology is in the results it delivers. “For our periodontal protocol, when we find people with periodontal disease that need a deep cleaning, these adjunctive technologies give us really great success and much better healing levels,” reports Birch.
Dr. Birch’s commitment to staying current with the latest techniques, combined with our investment in continuing education, ensures we’re always maximizing the potential of our technology. “Since I graduated from hygiene school, many of the technologies we have now didn’t even exist. Our office really focuses on everyone’s continuing education, staying on top of the latest and best therapies for dental health,” reflects Ciera Birch.
The impact on patient experience is clear: “It’s more rewarding now that we have more technology because I see results faster and get more compliance from patients because they understand more with the saliva test and the AI overlay on the X-rays.”
