It’s time X-rays went digital, and Dr. Gray utilizes this innovative new technology. Digital X-rays yield larger images than traditional X-rays, and these images can be enhanced, manipulated, easily archived along with your medical records, or e-mailed to your insurance company. They are obtained using small sensors—no more gripping film between your teeth. Digital X-rays make the process easier for patients and more productive for the dentist. Lastly, these images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film type x-rays. We are excited to offer this groundbreaking technology to our patients.

Everyone’s smile is different—and with our computerized smile analysis, you can get a sneak peek at what yours will look like after your smile makeover. We invite our patients to discuss their desires with us. With the aid of a computer, an image of your new smile will be created based on your desires and the shape of your teeth, face, and mouth. You will leave your appointment with a picture of what your new, improved smile will look like.

At Jeff Gray DDS - Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry, we conduct smile makeovers using a combination of porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, and more. Smile analysis lets our San Diego area patients see what the results of these procedures will look like before you begin treatment.

We all know that catching cavities early is best. But did you know that the traditional way of detecting cavities—a lot of poking and prodding—is not only uncomfortable, but only successful 50 to 75 percent of the time? Fortunately, DIAGNOdent® is a much more accurate and sensitive tool used in detecting even the smallest cavities, or the ones that “hide” along fissure lines or inside the biting surfaces of your teeth.

DIAGNOdent® is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses a simple laser diode to examine teeth for cavities, uncovering decay without invasive techniques or X-rays. DIAGNOdent® is both more comfortable and more precise in detecting cavities compared to earlier techniques. This tool also makes it easy for dentists to monitor suspicious areas in your mouth without repeated X-rays or harm to tissues.
