Cone Beam 3-D Imaging

This 3-D Imaging technology makes Oral Surgery (from wisdom teeth removal, to bone grafting, to dental implant placement) safer and more efficient than ever.

iTERO Digital Scanning

The scanning technology allows the doctors to simply scan the teeth using a laser, thus eliminating the need for dental impression “mold” material (which is messy, tends to cause a gag reflex, and often must be repeated several times). This makes it easier than ever to:

Receive appliances that help in the treatment of TMJ and Sleep Apnea.
Get the final crown on a dental implant: The scanning technology allows Drs. Ali or Nokkeo to simply scan the adjacent teeth and abutment/Implant using a laser, thus eliminating the need for dental impression “mold” material (which is messy, tends to cause a gag reflex, and often must be repeated several times). The prosthetic/restorative doctor who works with Drs. Ali and Nokkeo can now finalize the crowns on the dental Implants without the need for an impression visit at his/her office, a visit that usually also involves several other parts and pieces going in and out of the mouth. That entire visit is eliminated thanks to this cutting-edge technology.

Metal-Free Dental Implants

Drs. Ali and Nokkeo are two of the few surgeons in the DC Metro area that have the capability of placing Metal-Free Dental Implants. These tooth-colored Ceramic implants have some advantages in the aesthetic zone (front upper teeth) as well as in patients who prefer a metal-free option.
