Advanced Dental Technology in Ardsley, NY
Modern dental tools and techniques have transformed the level of care that restorative and cosmetic dental offices can provide. At Ardsley Dental Spa in Ardsley, NY , we invest in the latest technology to deliver maximum health, comfort, function, and aesthetics. From laser dentistry to 3D digital scanning, these tools help us diagnose problems earlier, treat them more precisely, and keep you comfortable throughout your visit.
Book OnlineBiolase MD Laser
The Biolase MD Laser is an all-tissue laser that enhances patient comfort and creates a better treatment experience. It combines laser energy with a spray of water to treat soft tissue and bone without heat. Patients report benefits such as less swelling and less post-operative sensitivity. In many cases, the laser reduces the stress of drills and needles and greatly decreases the need for anesthetics, making it ideal for cavity treatment and gum therapy.
Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA)
JVA is a three-minute, non-invasive, ADA-accepted test based on principles of motion and friction. Rough joint surfaces create friction and vibrations as the jaw moves. These vibrations are measured and analyzed by computer to provide an accurate, objective diagnosis of the jaw joint. The data helps distinguish stretched ligaments, partial or full disc displacement, and degenerative joint disease so the correct TMJ treatment can follow.
T-Scan Computerized Bite Analysis
T-Scan uses a pressure-sensitive sensor with 2,200 sensing points to measure the timing and force of your bite in thousandths of a second. It reveals bite problems invisible to the naked eye, unlike traditional inked paper, which studies have shown to be inaccurate. We use T-Scan as a diagnostic and finishing tool and to help patients understand their bite, an essential step in treating teeth grinding and achieving a balanced bite with healthy jaw joints and muscles.
Vident Easyshade Computerized Shade Matching
Vident Easyshade is a reliable spectrophotometer that instantly analyzes tooth shade to determine the best color match. It helps us achieve consistent, natural-looking results with crowns, veneers, and other cosmetic dentistry.
VELscope Oral Cancer Screening
VELscope is an FDA-approved hand-held device used alongside an oral soft tissue exam to aid in the early detection of oral diseases, including pre-cancer and cancer. Through tissue fluorescence, abnormal tissue appears darker against healthy tissue, helping us identify areas of concern early. Oral cancer is far more treatable when found in its early stages, which is why screening is part of your routine care.
Carestream Intraoral Camera
The Carestream intraoral camera lets you see the inside of your mouth on screen during your exam. When you can see what we see, it is easier to understand treatment recommendations and home care needs.
Dexis Digital Radiography
Dexis is one of the most highly awarded digital X-ray systems. Its sensor delivers high-resolution images with enhancement capabilities, maximizes comfort with a refined design, and allows for lower radiation doses. It also eliminates the need for environmentally harmful developing chemicals. The software uses 16,000 shades of gray, saves dates and tooth numbers, and correctly orients each image.
Isolite Intraoral Isolation System
Isolite improves the delivery of restorative dentistry by combining continuous LED illumination, suction, and retraction in one comfortable device. It protects the tongue and cheek and keeps the treatment area dry and clear, allowing treatment to proceed more quickly and effectively.
iTero Digital Scanner
The iTero scanner creates a 3D model of your teeth that shows your current dental health and tracks your progress over time. Your dentist can show you the results you can expect before treatment begins. The scanner is especially valuable for Invisalign because it lets you preview how your smile will look at the end of treatment, without messy impressions. Learn what to expect at your first visit.

Yes. Our Dexis digital X-rays use lower radiation doses than traditional film and produce high-resolution images instantly.
What is an oral cancer screening with VELscope?
VELscope uses tissue fluorescence to help identify abnormal tissue that may not be visible to the naked eye. It is quick, painless, and used alongside a visual exam.
How does the iTero scanner help with Invisalign?
The iTero scanner creates a precise 3D model of your teeth for Invisalign planning and lets you preview your expected results, all without traditional impressions.
What is T-Scan bite analysis?
T-Scan is a computerized sensor that measures the timing and force of your bite to identify imbalances that can cause grinding, wear, and jaw pain.
How is TMJ diagnosed?
We use Joint Vibration Analysis, a quick, non-invasive test that measures vibrations in the jaw joint to objectively diagnose joint problems.
Why does dental technology matter for my care?
Advanced technology allows earlier diagnosis, more precise and comfortable treatment, and longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
