Dental Technology

Blue Jay Family Dentistry uses modern dental technology to make every visit with Dr. Nickolas Felten more accurate and comfortable.

What Is Modern Dental Technology?

Modern dental technology helps Dr. Felten diagnose issues earlier, plan treatment more precisely, and keep your visit as comfortable as possible. From imaging that reveals problems long before symptoms appear to tools that let you see your own teeth in real time, technology plays a role in nearly every appointment. Explore the tools we use at Blue Jay Family Dentistry below.

Consult was great, service was top notch & pricing was fair. Dr Felten and staff were a great find in the neighborhood. I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner. They don’t disappoint

I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many, many thanks.
