Dental Technology

Dr. Zufall continually researches and invests in modern dental technology in order to provide the most effective and comfortable service to his patients. Some of the technology includes intra-oral video imaging and laser cavity detection.

Our newest and featured technologies are as follows:

VELscope Vx
The VELscope Vx is the most powerful tool for assisting in the discovery of oral abnormalities. The VELscope's distinctive blue-spectrum light causes the soft tissues of the mouth to naturally fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinctive patterns — patterns that are visibly disrupted by trauma or disease. Using the VELscope, a wide variety of oral abnormalities can be discovered — often before they're visible to the unassisted eye.

Discovering soft tissue abnormalities is particularly important in the fight against oral cancer. Because the VELscope Vx assists in early detection, cancer can be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives through less invasive, more effective treatment.

Used on a regular basis, the VELscope Vx helps Dr. Zufall find a wide variety of soft-tissue abnormalities, allowing practices to aspire to an advanced level of patient care. The VELscope Vx is completely safe, has no unpleasant rinses or stains, and the entire exam takes about two minutes.

DEXIS Digital X-ray
Gone are the days of developing x-ray film. Our office now utilizes the DEXIS Digital X-ray system with electronic sensors instead of film. The electronic sensor performs the x-ray and instantly displays the image on a computer for Dr. Zufall and the patient to review. Some of the benefits are: significantly reduced exposure to radiation, better diagnosis through enhanced imaging, and less waiting time.
