Advanced Dental Technology
Precise diagnoses, more comfortable treatments, and better outcomes, all backed by state-of-the-art equipment.
No More Goop or Gag!
Instead, just a fast and painless digital impression.
A state-of-the-art digital impression system, the iTero Element Scanner does away with the messy putty that used to fill your mouth. Dr. MacFarlane uses it to digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Compared with traditional putty-based impressions, the process is not only far more comfortable but also faster, and it can offer a clinical endpoint.
Throughout the impression process, you can breathe and swallow just as you normally would. Need to sneeze or want to ask a question? You can pause anytime. The scanner produces a 3D model of your mouth, which we pair with ClearCorrect clear aligner services to preview what your new smile might look like.
CEREC® Same Day Crowns

Digital X-Rays & CBCT 3D Imaging
As essential preventative diagnostic tools, digital X-rays reveal valuable information about abnormalities that a regular dental exam cannot show. Rather than relying on film like traditional X-rays, they capture images of your teeth and supporting bone structures with a digital sensor, all while using significantly less radiation than conventional X-rays and requiring no chemicals to develop. The resulting high-quality images appear instantly on monitors in the treatment room.
Dr. MacFarlane also relies on the PreXion Excelsior CBCT, a remarkable 3D imaging unit whose detailed three-dimensional images help plan oral surgery procedures and dental implant placement and help evaluate sleep apnea airway issues, sinus conditions, and more. Here at The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine, digital radiography helps us identify and diagnose:
- Decay between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Intra-Oral Camera
About the size of a pen, this small video camera photographs the teeth and supporting tissue, a wonderful addition to dentistry today. The intra-oral camera produces digital images we can store on a computer and share with patients, inviting them into the "co-diagnosis" of any concerns with their dental health. Dr. MacFarlane can show you how others see your smile and point out dental fillings that are broken or discolored. We look forward to giving you a dental tour of your mouth in the privacy of your treatment room.
Ozone Therapy
At The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine, ozone therapy serves as a natural, non-invasive treatment option. A powerful antimicrobial agent, ozone (O3) can disinfect and promote healing without resorting to harsh chemicals or antibiotics.
We apply ozone therapy to treat cavities, gum disease, and tooth sensitivity, all while supporting the body's own healing mechanisms. Because this biocompatible approach reduces the need for more invasive procedures, it fits naturally with our holistic philosophy of whole-body wellness.
