Dr. Yokoyama’s primary concerns are the health, safety, and comfort of his patients. This is why he uses some of the latest technology available in dentistry. You won’t find a lot of expensive machinery with needless bells and whistles, but you will find practical technology that will make your dental experience as safe and comfortable as possible.
Intraoral Video Cameras
Small intraoral cameras allow Dr. Yokoyama to get a better look inside your mouth.
Now you can see what the dentist sees!
Dr. Yokoyama wants you to be able to make the best, most informed decisions about your dental care, and giving you a first-hand look at your own teeth is an important step. Intraoral pictures allow us to better communicate with you regarding the condition and health of your mouth and teeth.
Intraoral cameras are a remarkable step forward in dentistry. The small, pen-sized instruments allow you and your dentist uncompromised visual access to all those hard-to-see areas of your mouth.

Digital Radiography (x-rays)
Dr. Yokoyama has invested in digital radiography for your safety and comfort. Digital x-rays are fast becoming an indispensable technology in dental offices all over the country. Some of the benefits of digital x-rays are:
- Significantly decreased x-ray exposure
- Patient comfort
- Instant images
- Computer images for easy access and storage
Diode Laser
Dr. Yokoyama uses a diode laser for cosmetic and non-cosmetic cutting of soft tissue. The diode laser significantly reduces pain and bleeding associated with a metal scalpel.
The use of a diode laser for periodontal procedures has enormous benefits for the patient and doctor including improved visibility, reduction of bacteria, less need for anesthesia, and much faster healing.
