Technology With A Purpose

Every Tool In Our Office Exists To Improve The Patient Experience

Technology is only valuable when it helps patients achieve better outcomes. At Spring Valley Dentistry, we invest in technology that improves accuracy, increases comfort, enhances communication, and supports faster healing.

Whether we’re evaluating airway concerns, planning dental implants, performing a frenectomy, treating periodontal disease, or creating a restoration, our technology allows us to gather better information and provide more personalized care. Perhaps most importantly, every major piece of equipment in our office has been updated since 2017, ensuring patients benefit from modern diagnostics and treatment capabilities.

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM): Also Known As Red Light Laser Therapy

Supporting Healing, Recovery, And Patient Comfort

Photobiomodulation therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the body’s natural healing processes. At our office, we utilize the Summus Laser as an adjunctive therapy to help reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and improve patient comfort.
PBM may be incorporated into treatment plans for:
  • Frenectomy aftercare
  • Post-surgical healing
  • Inflammation management
  • Muscular discomfort
  • Jaw and facial tension
  • Trigger points in the jaw and neck
  • Soft tissue recovery
Because PBM works with the body’s natural healing response, it can be a valuable addition to many treatment plans.

CO₂ Laser Technology

Precision Treatment With Greater Comfort

Our CO₂ laser allows us to perform many soft-tissue procedures with exceptional precision. Laser technology often minimizes tissue trauma, improves visibility during treatment, and supports a more comfortable patient experience.
Applications may include:
  • Tongue-tie and lip-tie procedures
  • Soft tissue treatment
  • Periodontal therapy
  • Gum contouring
  • Oral surgical procedures
By targeting tissue precisely, laser treatment can often support more predictable healing and improved patient comfort.

CBCT 3D Imaging

Because Two Dimensions Don’t Always Tell The Whole Story
Traditional dental X-rays provide valuable information, but some situations require a more complete view. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) allows us to capture detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaws, airway, bone structures, and surrounding anatomy.
CBCT technology is used for:

Implant Planning

Precise evaluation of bone volume, anatomy, and implant placement locations.

Airway Assessment

Detailed visualization of airway structures as part of comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning.

Restorative Planning

Enhanced diagnostics for complex restorative and surgical cases.

MARPE Planning

By merging CBCT imaging with digital intraoral scans, we can precisely plan MARPE treatment and skeletal expansion procedures.

Hidden Infection Detection

Some dental infections develop without pain and may not show on routine X-rays. CBCT imaging provides a detailed 3D view, helping Dr. Skow detect hidden issues earlier to support your oral and overall health.

The result is greater accuracy, improved safety, and more predictable outcomes.

Digital Scanning

No Traditional Impressions Required
More Comfortable. More Accurate. Better Results.
Most patients don’t miss traditional dental impressions. Digital scanning allows us to capture highly detailed images of your teeth and oral structures without messy impression materials.
Benefits include:
  • Greater comfort
  • Improved accuracy
  • Faster workflows
  • Better-fitting restorations
  • Enhanced communication
  • More predictable treatment planning
Digital scans play an important role in implant treatment, orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and airway-related care.

Digital X-Rays

Clear Images With Less Exposure
Digital radiography provides detailed diagnostic images while utilizing significantly less radiation than traditional film-based systems.
Benefits include:
  • High-quality imaging
  • Immediate image availability
  • Enhanced diagnostic capabilities
  • Improved patient communication
  • Lower radiation exposure compared to legacy film systems
Digital X-rays allow us to identify concerns earlier and plan treatment with greater confidence.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

A Collaborative Approach To Function, Development, And Recovery
For selected patients, including infants, children, and adults, Craniosacral Therapy may be incorporated into a broader treatment approach through collaboration with trained providers.
For infants and children, CST is frequently utilized alongside feeding support, tongue-tie care, oral function rehabilitation, and developmental concerns to help support healthy growth and function. For adults, it may be recommended to address tension patterns, postural concerns, or functional challenges that benefit from a multidisciplinary approach.

As with many aspects of care at Spring Valley Dentistry, the goal is not simply treating symptoms, but supporting the body as a whole.

Botox® for TMJ Pain & Muscle Tension

For patients experiencing chronic jaw pain, muscle tension, headaches, or symptoms related to TMJ disorders, Botox® may be recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. By relaxing overactive muscles, Botox can help reduce tension, improve comfort, and decrease the strain placed on the jaw joint.
Rather than simply masking symptoms, Dr. Skow evaluates the underlying causes of your discomfort to determine whether Botox is an appropriate treatment or if it should be combined with other therapies for longer-lasting results. Every treatment plan is personalized based on your unique needs, function, and overall oral health.

Modern Technology. Modern Care.

Every Piece Of Equipment Has Been Updated Since 2017

Technology continues to evolve, and so does our commitment to providing patients with modern, evidence-informed care.
By investing in advanced diagnostics, digital workflows, laser technologies, and healing-focused therapies, we can provide a more comfortable experience while improving precision and predictability across virtually every aspect of treatment.

Better Information Leads To Better Decisions

Whether you’re seeking answers about airway concerns, considering dental implants, exploring frenectomy treatment, or simply looking for a more comprehensive dental experience, our technology helps us see more, explain more, and plan more effectively.
