Our Technology
Digital X-rays
Over the years, this innovative form of x-ray technology has grown to become the new standard of care. Digital x-rays allow us to see tooth structure both above and below the gum line in a computerized image, rather than on a dental film. This technology is both patient and environmentally friendly, emitting 80 percent less radiation, and far fewer chemicals into the environment.
Intraoral Camera
An invaluable diagnostic tool, the intraoral camera allows us to view the different angles in the mouth that previous tools could not obtain. This camera, which is small enough to fit comfortably in the mouth, gives us a full-mouth view right on a digital monitor, allowing us to spot any problems that may be developing. This technology also helps us explain to our patients the dental issues they are facing, as they can view the images of their mouths right along with us. Images from our intraoral camera may also be sent to insurance companies as necessary data for gaining treatment approval.
Diagnodent
In the past, dentists detected cavities through x-rays and dental probing. Today, we have the DIAGNOdent to give us accurate, early detection of dental caries. Using laser technology, this diagnostic tool finds cavities when they are still very small, allowing the opportunity for early, conservative treatment.
Rotary Endodontics
Most people know endodontics as root canal therapy. This common procedure is performed to remove infection that has affected the pulp of a tooth. The root canal procedure removes the nerves and the pulp of an affected tooth. Rotary endodontics facilitates precision and speed in root canal therapy, so that you are out of the chair faster.
