More Digital Dentistry

We are a fully digital office. What does that mean?

We do not have paper charts

  • All of your chart data is locked in our secure server. Not only does this speed up the charting process and assist with accuracy, but also allows Dr. Cariello to view your records immediately from home in case of an emergency.

We use digital x-rays

  • Digital x-rays are up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays
  • Digital x-rays produce a higher quality, and an instant image on the screen
  • Digital x-rays merge directly into your paperless chart to assist with continuity of care
  • Digital x-rays are easily shared between Dr. Cariello and the best specialists in the area (when needed).

We use intraoral digital cameras

  • Intraoral cameras are long, narrow cameras that allows your hygienist, assistant, or Dr. Cariello to easily take pictures of areas (or a single tooth) inside your mouth.

We process your insurance claims electronically

  • Traditionally, insurance claims and benefits estimations were submitted and by mail. Our claims are submitted electronically which facilitates faster communication and instant x-ray transmission.

Online appointment requests and surveys

Your quality of care has been dramatically enhanced by a few subtle changes to our recordkeeping, insurance documentation, and technological gadgets. We are thankful for digital advances and how they help us help you!
