Advanced Technology
Technology should make visits clearer, faster, and more comfortable.
North Shore Smiles uses modern tools to diagnose carefully, plan conservatively, and explain findings to parents without making the visit feel intimidating for kids.
Digital X-rays
Digital imaging helps Dr. Tiana see between teeth, below the gumline, and around developing adult teeth while keeping images available immediately for review.
- Low-radiation imaging when X-rays are needed
- Helpful for cavities, growth, injuries, and emergencies
- Clear images that support parent conversations
Comfort-focused tools
The Wand single-tooth anesthesia system can help deliver local anesthesia in a more controlled, precise way for many children.
- Designed to feel less intimidating than traditional numbing
- Used with calm explanations and child-friendly pacing
- Part of a broader comfort-first approach
Conservative treatment options
For select early cavities or white spots, Dr. Tiana may discuss minimally invasive options such as SDF or ICON when they fit the tooth and the child's needs.
- Treatment planning focused on preserving healthy tooth structure
- Options explained clearly before care begins
- Prevention and follow-up built into the plan
