Ensuring that we use the most advanced technology available gives us the ability to treat our patients more comprehensively and enhances their experience before, during, and after a procedure. Digital and laser technology allow our doctors to detect and treat oral health issues in the earliest stages, minimizing the need for invasive treatment. With the amazing technology available to us, we can also provide cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry treatments and facial enhancements, eliminate snoring, treat sleep apnea, and reduce facial and TMJ pain.
Our Technology
DIGITAL DENTAL X-RAYS
Smiles by Holsinger and Higgins uses exclusively digital X-rays for immediate, crystal-clear digital images that help us diagnose a variety of dental conditions. Digital X-rays are safe for all patients, with up to 90% less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays.
INTRAORAL CAMERA
Intraoral photography is another example of how digital dentistry helps us provide unparalleled dental care. With intraoral photography, cavities, fractures, and tooth discoloration are captured through sharp photographic images taken with a digital camera.
CAVITY DETECTION WITH CARIVU
Our transillumination decay detection device uses infrared light to provide radiation-free cavity detection. Used with digital X-rays and intraoral photography, CARIVU gives us a more accurate picture of the health of our patients’ teeth.
CEREC SAME-DAY CROWNS
Crowns in a single visit? That’s right! With CEREC crowns you’ll avoid goopy and messy impression materials, temporary crowns, and even multiple visits to the dentist. When your porcelain crowns are placed, they will look and feel like your natural teeth.
IN-OFFICE VATECH GREEN CT SCAN
(3D CONE BEAM)
3D Cone Beam Scans are preferred by dentists because they produce high-quality images of all oral structures — including the skull. These images are used to diagnose potential problems before they become complicated and costly, all with very little radiation exposure.
DIGITAL SCANNER FOR IMPRESSIONS
Goopy impression materials are a thing of the past thanks to digital impressions. Designed to reduce the number of office visits and time in the dental chair and improve impression accuracy, our iTero digital scanner is yet another way we provide comfort to our patients.
T-SCAN
When a patient has bite imbalances that cause fractured restorations, teeth sensitivity, TMJ pain, and headaches, the T-Scan system allows us to quickly and accurately diagnose the source of the pain. Not only does this give the patient relief, but it also eliminates the need for multiple appointments, saving time and money.
FOTONA LIGHTWALKER® DENTAL LASER
Dental lasers have revolutionized conservative and cosmetic dentistry, making it possible to provide treatments that are more effective and comfortable for patients. The LightWalker® laser significantly reduces the time patients spend in the dental chair receiving treatment, and they come away with minimal discomfort and considerably shorter healing time compared to treatments using conventional dental tools. We use the LightWalker® laser for:
- Fillings and crowns
- Root canal therapy
- Implant placement
- Oral surgery
- Periodontal treatment
- Laser-assisted ceramic debonding
- Facial enhancements
- Snoring and sleep apnea therapy
- Gum recontouring
- Tongue tie release
- Canker sores
- Wound healing
- Muscle pain
- TMJ pain
We Know You're Looking for the Perfect Solution to Fit All of Your Dental Care Needs.
Your solution, however, isn’t to find the cheapest options possible. It’s to find a dentist who cares not just about one procedure that brings you into the office, but your overall health.

Ideal candidates will have sufficient jaw bone mass, healthy gums, and good overall health.
