Our Technology
Phoenix, AZ
We are constantly striving to give our patients the finest dental care possible, and our investment in advanced technology is also a long-term investment in your oral health. We understand that using updated technology leads to more informed decision-making, allowing our patients to make the best possible decisions about their oral health.
Our practice features the latest state-of-the-art technology, including:
SimPlant® Implant Placement Software
SimPlant allows our office to take a 3D scan of the jaw bone, arteries, veins, nerves, and the maxillary sinus. We then use these 3D scans to identify the best position to place a dental implant. Traditional digital x-rays are able to show only a limited amount of information.

Cavitron Scalers
The Cavitron scaler and ultrasonic scaling technology has greatly improved our ability to more efficiently remove tartar buildup from your teeth. With a more thorough cleaning, your gums are better able to heal.

Leukocyte Platelet Derived Fibrin (LPDF)
Leukocyte-platelet derived fibrin (LPRF) is a byproduct of your blood. After a small sample of your blood has been processed, the platelet-rich clots are collected and used to expedite your healing process.

Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
Platelet Derived Growh Factor is not donated bone material, but is a fully synthetic bone regeneration product that has been developed for the treatment of dental trauma and defects, including the treatment of gingival recession.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP), is an innovative advancement in dentistry. We take a small amount of the patient's blood and with it create a platelet concentration; this will promote healing through increased tissue regeneration.

Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP2)
Our body naturally creates the protein known as Bone Morphogenetic Protein, it is the protein that our body sends when the bone matter has been damaged. By using our natural resource, we no longer need other bone grafting materials reducing the incidence of rejection.

Air Polisher
Designed for anyone who cringes at the prospect of the hygienist using scraping tools to dig into their gums, or having a polishing disc sand at their enamel, the air polisher is a welcome change. At Implant and Periodontal Wellness Center of Arizona, we use the air polisher because it is a fast, painless, and noninvasive tool that will remove stains and clean your teeth and gums.

Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are a huge step in information and technology. The images are available within seconds on a computer screen in the same room as your dental chair. These images are a high resolution that is seen on a significantly larger screen.

3D Cone Beam
3D Cone Beam radiology creates full digital x-rays of the entire oral cavity. This means that we can view the positioning of the teeth, while also viewing impacted teeth and the level of bone density available.

Electric Handpiece
The dentist's drill does not evoke positive feelings in patients. This is often due to the sound and pressure that is applied. With the electric handpiece, these concerns can be laid to rest, as the electric handpiece is quieter with less jarring movements because it does not react to resistance.

Intraoral Scanner
With an Intraoral scanner, we can produce digital impressions of your oral cavity quickly and easily. The intraoral scanner means no gummy, sticky molds filling your mouth, Ronald Watkins, DDS, MS can acquire precise, true color, 2D and 3D digital impressions in seconds.
