At Dr. John Krell's Houston practice, we are committed to providing our River Oaks community with superior quality care using the latest in dental technology. By incorporating cutting-edge advancements, such as laser technology, our team is able to perform state-of-the-art procedures that deliver beautiful, long-lasting smiles.
We take great pride in sourcing the most effective dental equipment and minimally invasive treatment methods to ensure world-class restorative and preventive care for our patients. To learn more about the advanced technology we use, explore the options below:
TMJ Therapy
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your head, and like any joint, it can become strained or injured. This often leads to bruxism (unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching), which can progress into TMJ disorder. Fortunately, we offer comprehensive treatments for jaw alignment issues right here in our office. We also monitor your jaw health during regular checkups to ensure your comfort and well-being.
Sedation Dentistry
For patients who experience anxiety about visiting the dentist, we offer a variety of sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. These techniques can help ease your fears and ensure you remain relaxed and free of discomfort throughout your visit. If you’ve avoided dental care due to fear, these methods will provide the calm, comfortable experience you deserve.
Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral cameras are advanced tools that allow both you and the dentist to view real-time images of your mouth. This device transmits high-definition images to a computer screen, giving you a clear understanding of your oral health while we discuss any necessary treatments.
3D X-Ray Scans
Our state-of-the-art 3D X-ray technology produces high-resolution images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. This allows us to diagnose issues with precision, enhancing the accuracy of your treatment plan while ensuring your safety.
CEREC One-Visit Dentistry
CEREC technology is the world’s only system that designs, fabricates, and places all-ceramic dental restorations in a single visit. Whether you need a crown, onlay, or veneer, this system allows us to complete your procedure in about an hour—reducing injections, drilling, and time spent away from your busy schedule.
Snoring Treatment with SILENT NITE
If snoring is disrupting your sleep, the SILENT NITE snore prevention device offers a simple and affordable solution. This effective treatment helps reduce snoring, allowing for better sleep and improved health.
Laser Soft Tissue Dentistry for Periodontal Treatments & Oral Surgery
Laser soft tissue dentistry offers a modern, minimally invasive approach to periodontal treatments and oral surgery. Using advanced laser technology, we can precisely target and remove infected or diseased tissue without the need for traditional scalpels or sutures. This technology not only promotes faster healing with less discomfort but also reduces swelling and bleeding, allowing for a quicker recovery and improved outcomes.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need to restore a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire smile, implants are a durable and natural-looking option that will enhance your confidence and function.
Advanced Dental X-Rays
Traditional X-rays have been a critical diagnostic tool for years, but our practice has upgraded to advanced radiographic technology. These new X-rays provide faster, more accurate results with significantly lower radiation exposure, allowing us to diagnose and plan treatments with greater precision and safety.
At Dr. John Krell’s practice, we are dedicated to using the latest technology to deliver the highest quality care. Let us help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with the most advanced dental solutions available!
