Digital X-Rays
Traditional radiography has long been used as a way to look beneath the visible surface of your teeth and oral structures. But today, there is a better alternative. Digital X-rays are available almost instantly, easily transferred between dental offices, and stored digitally. But you’ll most love the fact that digital X-rays greatly reduce you and your family’s exposure to radiation. Because radiation builds up in the body over time, that reduction makes a big difference, especially for children.
Intraoral Camera
When a picture is worth a thousand words, our intraoral camera saves the day. It’s a small, handheld tool that is tipped with a camera we use to capture images of your teeth and gums. The digital picture is then transferred onto a screen at your chairside, allowing you and Dr. Kendrick to discuss your issue and the proposed treatment plan together. We know when you are fully involved in your dental care, the overall outcome is greatly improved.
Overjet Dental AI
AI technology is taking the world by storm – but have you thought about the different ways that it can improve your experience at the dental office? At Midwest City Dental Center, we use Overjet Dental AI to provide our patients with more accurate diagnoses and more informed treatments regarding dental issues that may arise. Overjet AI can provide us with a precise overview of teeth, restorations, implants, bone levels, decay, and much more.
CT/High-Powered Microscope
As the field of dentistry has progressed through the years, one of the most significant technological advances has come in the form of high-powered microscopes. These microscopes allow Dr. Kendrick to enhance and magnify his view of your mouth and teeth. While the normal naked eye can spot problems, the microscope allows our team to view even the smallest problems, preventing future dental work. With views magnified between three and twenty times beyond normal, no occlusion is safe!
Through the use of the microscope, Dr. Kendrick can better provide restorative dental care for all of his patients. Dr. Kendrick firmly believes in the use of technology to better serve all of his patients, providing the best care possible for you!
CT/ Cone Beam Scanner
Dental implants require advanced treatment planning, and digital X-rays are just not enough to fully prepare and plan for your new tooth replacement. To ensure we provide the best in implant dentistry, Dr. Kendrick has invested in the CT (computerized tomography)/cone beam scanner, a special X-ray that creates a three-dimensional rendering of your teeth and jaw. It’s not exactly the same as a CT scan you may be familiar with, but the images it produces are similar.
With the information gathered from the cone beam scanner, your dentist can see the teeth, neural pathways, jawbone, and all soft tissues in one comprehensive image. Using this highly accurate information, your dentist creates in-depth treatment plans for superior outcomes.
CEREC Same-Day Technology
CEREC (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics) makes one-visit dentistry possible. Using computer-aided design and manufacturing as well as our in-house milling machine, we can plan for and place your crown or bridge in just one visit to our dental office. That means no follow-up appointment and no need for a temporary restoration worn in between!

Digital Impression System
By using CEREC technology, we can help you avoid those uncomfortable non-digital impressions that require the use of cold, messy dental putty. Instead, these high-resolution images are quickly produced using a small, handheld device that scans your teeth and gums to create a 3D model. This process allows you to experience greater comfort while also producing a more accurate image that is used to fabricate your custom restoration.
PRF Bone Grafting
PRF bone grafting during tooth extraction is a state-of-the-art technology utilized at our dental office. Before a necessary extraction, we'll perform a simple blood draw, convert it into healing, usable materials, and pack it into the extraction site. PRF bone grafting can help speed up the recovery process, and it's safe because the cells come from your own body.
