GentleWave Technology
Effectively cleaning the deepest, most complex portions 1,2 of the root canal system requires incredible innovation—and we are proud to offer that technology with the GentleWave® Procedure.
The GentleWave Procedure is a state-of-the-art alternative to standard root canal treatment. The ultra cleaning technology of the GentleWave Procedure is an advanced combination of fluid dynamics and a broad range of soundwaves that work together to reach into the microscopic spaces 1,2 and remove bacteria, debris and tissue.2 The GentleWave Procedure is so effective at cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system, there's less chance of failure over time. 3
The GentleWave Procedure uses a minimally invasive 1 protocol to access the infected root canal system, which means it is preserving more of the natural tooth and, in doing so, is helping to keep the tooth’s structure strong. With the GentleWave Procedure we can also typically clean and fill the tooth in just one appointment, 3 which may reduce the number of appointments required.
Achieving an exceptional level of clean requires advanced endodontics—and that’s something we take pride in providing. Contact us today to discover the GentleWave Difference for yourself.

Benefits of Surgical Microscopes
For a better view
Surgical microscope technology from ZEISS enables Dr. Ianiro to visualize high-contrast images illustrating minute details and fine structures. Most important: better vision is the key to improving the quality of the examination and the treatment. The illumination puts light where it is needed. Even root canals are illuminated and imaged.
For better ergonomics
A surgical microscope can help Dr. Ianiro and staff adopt a relaxed posture during treatment. The comfortable, upright position prevents fatigue and protects against a stiff neck and sore back over the long term.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiographs are safer, faster and diagnostically more useful in endodontics than conventional film x-rays. There is up to 80% reduction in radiation, compared to traditional film technology. Patient comfort is greatly increased by utilizing sleek and small, rounded and beveled sensors. The resulting images are digital, allowing computer enhancement, enlargement and evaluation, which greatly improve diagnostic and communication capabilities.
Conebeam (CBCT)
Our office uses J. Morita’s latest 3D technology, the Veraviewepocs® 3D F40. When we use this type of CT scan, we can work better to give you improved diagnoses, treatment planning and prognosis. With this technology, we can visualize any tooth from multiple angles with extreme accuracy. This machine features one of the highest 3D image resolutions available. Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans are only taken when necessary, and they provide a multitude of benefits, including superior quality and maximum patient safety.
