Digital X-rays
Digital sensors capture images that appear on a screen in seconds — and, according to the practice, use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
Why it matters: You see the same image Dr. Merchi sees, so decay between teeth, infection, or bone loss is explained rather than just described.
How often X-rays are needed →iTero intraoral scanning
A small wand records a precise 3D scan of your teeth — digital impressions instead of trays of impression putty.
Why it matters: Every Invisalign case is planned from an iTero scan, and the same scans support crowns and nightguards without the gag-inducing molds.
Invisalign in Riverview →Cone beam 3D imaging
A 3D cone beam (CBCT) scan shows bone height, width, and nearby structures in three dimensions.
Why it matters: It's used for precise dental implant and surgical planning — including whether a bone graft is needed before an implant.
Dental implants in Riverview →Intraoral cameras
A pen-sized camera shows a close-up of any tooth on the screen in front of you.
Why it matters: Seeing a crack or worn filling yourself makes treatment decisions clearer — and makes it easy to ask questions.
Laser therapy
A dental laser is used for gentle, precise soft-tissue treatments.
Why it matters: Targeting only the tissue that needs care is part of the practice's conservative approach.
Gum disease treatment →EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy
A Swiss-engineered cleaning protocol: a harmless dye reveals plaque, AIRFLOW® warm water and fine powder lift it away, and the PIEZON® ultrasonic scaler is used only where hardened tartar remains.
Why it matters: Far less scraping than a traditional cleaning — offered as an upgrade to a standard cleaning appointment.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy? →Smile Perfected in-office whitening
Professional whitening that takes about 20 minutes and can be added to a cleaning, with a take-home pen and tray included.
Why it matters: Fast, even results under supervision — after an exam confirms your teeth and gums are ready for it.

The patient portal lets you pick your date, time, and provider any time of day, and new-patient forms are sent before your visit.
