Cone Beam Scanner 3D Imaging
3D imaging provides better quality and more detailed images than traditional x-rays. This new technology is also less invasive and emits less radiation than traditional x-ray machines.
The landscape of oral health care has been transformed by the advancements in dental technology, presenting cutting-edge solutions that bolster patient treatment, elevate diagnostic precision, and streamline therapeutic procedures. Through breakthroughs in imaging technology that offer unparalleled insights into the mouth to the creation of robust and visually appealing materials for dental repairs, dental technology effectively connects the dots between professional clinical skill and the requirements of patients.
GentleWave Procedure
The GentleWave® Procedure takes a different approach to root canal therapy, using a minimally invasive protocol designed to help preserve optimal tooth structure and promote the long-term sustainability of the tooth.
Digital X-Ray
Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a very green technology. By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!
Microscopes & Imaging
The use of specialized operating microscopes means that the doctor is able to get a detailed look at the work they are doing during all phases of your endodontic treatment. The additional magnification and illumination allow them to work with great precision and see small details such as calcified canals and fractures. The Endodontist is able to more accurately diagnose and treat the patient using a dental surgical microscope to improve the potential outcome of the treatment from “good” to “excellent”. Further, some microscopes may be equipped with high resolution video and digital photography allowing the doctor to enhance patient communication and document treatment.
Electronic Apex Locator
This instrument is employed to accurately measure the length of the root canal, allowing the dentist to assess the file’s placement in relation to the root’s apex. This assists in ensuring the canal is thoroughly cleared of debris, thereby minimizing the likelihood of future issues.
Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
Using Electronic Medical Records our practice is able to quickly and accurately access patient information in order to provide the utmost in patient care. This helps to ensure patient confidentiality as well as reduce the need for paper. Using a digital format allows for quick access to your information when needed for insurance records yet provides a secure filing system.
