Throughout your visit, our team will introduce you to the technologies we use and explain how they improve comfort, accuracy, and long-term results. Whether you’re visiting us in Alexandria or Indianapolis, you can expect truly modern care designed to help you smile with confidence.
BOTOX® Injections for TMJ Dysfunction
If you suffer from chronic headaches, jaw pain, or facial discomfort caused by TMJ disorder, BOTOX may offer effective relief. While commonly known for its cosmetic use, BOTOX can also be used therapeutically to relax overactive jaw and facial muscles, thereby reducing the unconscious movements that contribute to TMJ-related pain. Treatment typically takes less than an hour, and many patients notice improvement within one to two days.
Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety can make it difficult to receive the care you need, which is why Dr. Martinez and our team go out of their way to create a calm, welcoming environment at both locations. For patients who need additional support, we offer professional sedation dentistry to help ease fear and discomfort. Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) and oral conscious sedation are available, allowing you to relax comfortably throughout your visit.
Intraoral Camera
Ever wondered what your dentist sees during an exam? Our intraoral cameras provide a clear, close-up view of your teeth and gums. This small, pen-like device captures high-quality images that are displayed on a monitor in the treatment room, making it easier to understand our findings and recommended treatments. It’s a valuable tool for education, transparency, and accurate diagnosis.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-ray technology allows us to capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw in just seconds—no darkroom or waiting required. These images are clearer than traditional film X-rays and expose patients to significantly less radiation, making them both efficient and safe. With instant results, we can diagnose issues quickly and plan treatment with greater accuracy.
CT / Cone Beam Scanner
For complex procedures such as dental implant placement or root canal therapy, advanced imaging is essential. Our CT/cone beam scanner captures a full 360-degree, three-dimensional image of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and nerve pathways. This detailed view allows us to plan treatments with precision and confidence, leading to safer procedures and more predictable outcomes.
Digital Impression System
Traditional dental impressions often involve uncomfortable trays filled with messy putty. At Martinez Dentistry, we use CEREC digital impression technology to eliminate that experience altogether. This mess-free, comfortable process creates highly accurate digital models of your teeth, which are used to design crowns, dentures, and other restorations with exceptional fit and efficiency.
Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
When treating the gums or other soft tissues, we often use advanced laser technology instead of traditional instruments. Soft tissue lasers precisely target diseased tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving healthy tissue, resulting in faster healing, improved comfort, and minimal bleeding. Many patients find the procedure so comfortable that local anesthesia isn’t even necessary.
