The tools a dental practice uses say a great deal about how much it values your time, your comfort, and the quality of your care. Many patients assume that dental offices are more or less the same, equipped with the same instruments and the same approach. In reality, the technology behind your treatment shapes everything from the accuracy of your diagnosis to how quickly you walk out with a restored smile. When a practice invests in advanced dental technology, you feel the difference at every step.
At Bucks County Smiles in Yardley, PA, that investment has been a priority for more than 40 years. Our 5,000-square-foot facility was designed with precision and patient comfort in mind, and our state-of-the-art facility reflects that commitment at every turn. From digital imaging to same-day restorations, the technology we use allows our team to work with greater accuracy, less discomfort, and better outcomes for each patient.
One of the most significant advancements in modern restorative dentistry is the ability to complete a crown in a single appointment, and that is exactly what our in-office CEREC system makes possible. CEREC uses Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown without the need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, or a second visit.
Our team captures a precise digital scan of your tooth and uses that data to design a restoration that fits your exact anatomy. The crown is then milled on-site from a solid block of high-quality ceramic and placed the same day. Research published in PubMed Central found that CAD/CAM restorations demonstrate strong clinical performance across biological, technical, and esthetic outcomes. Our CEREC crowns and bridges offer patients a streamlined path to a restored smile without the wait.
We currently operate two CEREC machines in-house, which means greater scheduling flexibility and consistent access to this technology for our patients.
Accurate diagnosis depends on a clear picture, and digital imaging gives our team exactly that. We use digital X-rays, which significantly reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional film-based systems, and 3D cone-beam imaging, which allows us to evaluate bone structure, nerve pathways, and overall oral anatomy in three dimensions.
This level of detail is particularly valuable for complex cases, such as dental implant planning and full-mouth rehabilitation. When our doctors can see the full picture, they can plan your treatment with precision, accounting for factors that a conventional 2D X-ray would simply miss. For patients with complex medical histories, which make up a significant portion of our practice, this kind of thorough imaging is essential to safe, coordinated care.
For patients dealing with gum disease, traditional surgery has long been the standard approach, involving incisions, sutures, and extended recovery times. Laser dentistry offers a meaningful alternative. We are certified in the LANAP protocol, which uses a specialized laser to target diseased tissue and harmful bacteria without cutting healthy gum tissue.
LANAP is minimally invasive, promotes bone regeneration, and results in less postoperative discomfort than traditional periodontal surgery. Recovery is generally faster, and the treatment preserves more of the natural gum structure. For our patients managing complex health conditions or taking medications that affect healing, this gentler approach to periodontal care can significantly improve their overall treatment experience.
The environment inside our office matters as much as the instruments in our hands. We use iWave air purification technology integrated into our HVAC system, which continuously filters and cleans the air circulating throughout the practice. We also use electrostatic fogging and peroxide-based surface disinfection protocols to maintain a safe, clean environment between appointments.
These measures reflect our broader philosophy at Bucks County Smiles: that whole-body health and oral health are deeply connected, and that the conditions in which you receive your care matter to your overall well-being.
Our team, led by Dr. David Faust, Dr. Kris Scholl, and Dr. Aimee Dehbozorgi, uses technology not just for efficiency, but as part of a wider integrative care model. Dr. Faust brings decades of precision in implant and reconstructive dentistry, while Dr. Scholl’s training in dental sleep medicine guides how we use diagnostic tools for patients managing sleep apnea and TMJ conditions. We coordinate with your primary care physician and medical team when appropriate, meaning the data gathered through our advanced imaging and diagnostic tools may become part of a larger conversation about your health.
This approach is especially meaningful for patients whose oral health intersects with systemic conditions. Our cosmetic and restorative services are available alongside these diagnostic capabilities so that you can address the full spectrum of your dental needs in one place.
