Advanced Dental Technology for Better Outcomes
We believe that better technology leads to better results. At East Tennessee Periodontics, we invest in modern tools to make your care more comfortable, precise, and effective.
First in Tennessee to Offer Itero Digital Impressions
We were the first practice in Tennessee to offer Itero Digital Impressions. This technology eliminates the need for messy, goopy putty. A small, comfortable scanner captures detailed images of your teeth and gums. The process is quick, accurate, and much more pleasant.
Advanced 3D Digital Radiography
We use advanced 3D imaging to get a complete picture of your oral health. This technology allows us to plan treatments with greater precision, especially for dental implants and complex surgical procedures.
Laser Dentistry
We use dental lasers for a wide range of treatments, including LANAP for gum disease and Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ for receding gums. Laser technology allows us to provide gentler, more precise care with less discomfort and faster recovery.
Completely Digital Dental Records
Our office is completely digital. This means more efficient care, better communication, and a smoother experience for you.
