Forging joy and stronger communities by serving the the spiritual, mental and physical needs of individuals and families.
Dr. Greg Kiene and Dr. Chris Merkley believe tangible joy comes more from what you give than what you receive. At Valor Dental, our team measures our success by the legacy of service we give to our community. Patient interaction brings Drs. Kiene and Merkley a sense of joy, and the greatest compliment they can receive is the referral of their patients’ friends and family.
At Valor Dental, we believe that the path to a healthy mouth starts with a comprehensive exam and X-rays. This will give us a solid idea of the type of cleaning you need and alerts us to any areas of gum disease or decay. Once our dentists in Justin have evaluated your overall oral health, we can clean your teeth more efficiently.
CBCT technology is an invaluable resource at Valor Dental. A CBCT machine is a special type of X-ray that generates 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in one complete scan. CBCT X-rays provide detailed images of the bone and helps diagnose diseases of all hard and soft tissue including teeth, bone, muscles, nasal cavities and sinuses. Being able to offer our patients such a detailed image may help catch and diagnose a disease in its earliest development.
Intraoral scanners are one of our most used pieces of technology. They give us a close-up view of your oral health and magnify a picture of your tooth so we’re able to see every crack and crevice with crystal-clear detail. This allows us to detect issues when they’re still invisible to the naked eye, allowing us to fix an issue before it turns into a larger and more costly problem.
3D printers allow us to fabricate our own custom restorations. We can make crowns and appliances in-office, sometimes while you wait, saving our patients time in the dental chair. It also enables us to save our patients money since we don’t have to send as many cases out to a dental lab.
Our team uses state-of-the-art sterilization to make sure our patients and staff have a safe visit to our office. We exceed guidelines for sterilization in our office and have a dedicated area with advanced sterilization equipment where we employ the latest techniques to wrap, disinfect, and organize our instruments before each use.
