New Technology
Invisalign Boerne, TX - New Technology
Advanced technology we utilize at Lifetime Dental in Boerne, Texas.
Intraoral Camera
Using this camera, we can give you a tourĀ of your mouth, live on TV. We also use the intraoral camera to guide you through your diagnosis and treatment options, keeping you at the center of your treatment plans. We want you to feel informed at every step of the way, so you can make smart choices for your smile.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are faster than conventional x-rays, and they are comfortable for you. They also aid us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. All with up to 90% less radiation exposure! And, with no chemical processing needed, digital technology helps us do our part to keep the environment safe. We also employ digital imaging, so you can see how fantastic your smile will look before treatment even begins.
Diagnodent Laser Cavity Detection
Identifying and filling cavities is one of the most important services we provide our patients at Lifetime Dental, so we use Diagnodent laser technology. The Diagnodent precisely detects decay in its early stages, often before it can be recognized by other means, which allows for fillings that are smaller and simpler. Minimally invasive filling procedures also enable us to preserve more of your natural tooth. Click Here to Read More Details about the Benefits of the Diagnodent

Digital Root Canal Therapy
Thanks to recent advancements in dental technology, Dr. Hatcher can now complete root canal therapy in as little as one session, and with more comfort for their patients than ever before. We have electronics that accurately tells us the roots length and then another that cleans while sensing pressure. If you’ve been told you need a root canal, call our office today and ask us about your options!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Because composite fillings can be bonded to teeth, they usually allow for more conservative preparations. When less tooth structure is removed, we are able to create smaller, more natural looking fillings than conventional amalgam (silver) fillings. The tooth-colored material is cured with an intense light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the rest of your tooth, rendering the final restoration smooth and virtually undetectable to the eye.
Invisalign
If you think clear and removable braces sound perfect, then you could be on your way to a straight smile in no time with Invisalign®. Through a series of clear Aligners®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results but without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step, and as an added convenience, they can even be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule your Invisalign consultation at our Boerne, TX office at 830-249-9300!
Professional Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also enhance your confidence and self-esteem. A brighter smile can even lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking great. Ask us about our powerful, professional teeth whitening options at your next visit!
Drug-Free Headache Prevention
Do you suffer from chronic migraine or tension headaches? The pain you feel during the day could actually be caused by teeth grinding or jaw clenching that occurs while you sleep. Our team at Lifetime Dental can help you find long-lasting relief without prescription pain medication. We simply construct a small device that fits comfortably over your teeth while you sleep, preventing the muscle contractions commonly associated with headaches so your jaw can relax. More restful nights lead to more pain-free days! For more information on this device call us at 830-249-9300
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Dr. Hatcher has a passion for teeth! He can remove almost any tooth, which keeps you from traveling to another office. Using the latest techniques he can remove wisdom teeth with very quick healing time. If you have been told your wisdom teeth, or any tooth, need to be taken out, call our office and inquire. 830-249-9300
