Technology & Collaboration in Arroyo Grande, Ca
Our modern day dentistry combined with collaborative care results in optimal results.
Intra-oral Photos
Our office in Arroyo Grande, CA, itself on patient education and transparency. Our Mouthwatch intra-oral cameras are thin cameras that can take pictures directly in a patient's mouth. They are a valuable tool in showing our patients exactly what Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez are concerned about when it comes to visible cavities, fractured or broken teeth, staining around old dental work, and so much more.
Intra-oral Scanner
Patient comfort and overall experience are enhanced with our Trios 4 intra-oral scanner. With the enhanced ease of a digital scanner to take dental records prior to, during, and after treatment, treatments like crown procedures and clear aligners are smoother and even more enjoyable for our patients. Dr. Ulep and Dr. Hernandez highly encourage patients to be hands-on with the 3D rendering of their teeth and to ask questions from seeing their mouth in a whole new modality.
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D-imaging
CBCT imaging provides the highest standard of care when it comes to treatment planning and simulating implants, extractions of wisdom teeth, root canal therapy, and so much more. The ability to view head and neck structures in 3 dimensions improves patient outcomes by helping your doctors identify and reduce your risk factors early on. Many infections and lesions identified through CBCT imaging are chronic and asymptomatic, which can lead to untimely emergencies.

Panoramic X-ray
A panoramic x-ray is a type of dental x-ray that takes a widescreen picture of your entire mouth and jawbone in one image. This imaging can help your dentist diagnose a variety of dental and oral health conditions, including:
- Gum disease
- Bone loss
- Impacted teeth
- Cysts or tumors in the jawbone
- Fractures of the jawbone
- Malocclusion (misaligned teeth)
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
