Advanced Dental Technology for More Accurate Treatment
When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Sweeney and his staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.
Our practice uses high power microscopes to enhance the precision of patient care.
Dentistry is micro-surgery. Using microscope that is similar to the one an ophthalmologist uses enables us to create dental restorations with incredibly precise fit and finish. You just can’t fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.
Many dentists use air-driven “hand-pieces” (the dental term for “drills”). While acceptable for many procedures, these “whiney sounding” air-powered hand pieces all have a degree of non-concentricity; they do not rotate perfectly smoothly.
For the most precise aspects of restorative procedures, we use electric hand-pieces. This results in extraordinarily precise interfaces between your tooth and your new restoration (crown,
veneer, or
filling). This will bring more comfort to you as well. With a more precise tool, there is less vibration and less noise.
Digital Dental Imaging for Faster, Safer, and More Accurate Diagnostics
Dr. Sweeney chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes.
Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal.
Dr. Sweeney utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.
The Standard for Better Smiles
Precision care, proven results, and zero pressure. Just better dentistry.
High-Precision Digital X-Rays & Intraoral Camera Exams
We use the latest digital imaging tools to deliver more accurate diagnoses, greater comfort, and a better overall experience for our patients.
Digital X-Rays provide clear, high-precision images viewed instantly on a computer screen — not outdated film. They also reduce radiation exposure by up to 85%, keeping you safer while giving us better diagnostic accuracy.
Our Intraoral Camera Technology, used by Dr. Sweeney, allows us to show you what we see in real time. This tiny camera captures high-definition images of your teeth and gums, displayed on a screen so you can clearly understand your diagnosis and treatment options.

These sharp, magnified images help us catch issues standard mirror exams can miss — often leading to faster diagnosis, less chair time, and more confident decisions for your care.
Your images are securely stored in our system, creating a permanent digital record that can be shared with specialists, labs, or insurance providers when necessary.
