Digital
X-Ray
Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the
standard in dental imaging.
Digital x-rays
allow the doctor to get a much better
view of your teeth and potential dental
conditions.
The digital imaging software
allows the doctor to see a number of
different views of the tooth to gain a
better understanding of the proper
course of management.
Digital x-rays provide a great
benefit to the patient.
Not only are they an excellent
diagnostic tool, but they decrease
radiation to the patient by over 80%.
Intraoral
Camera
Intraoral cameras are an excellent means
of allowing the patient to view
potential dental conditions in their own
mouth.
It is much easier to understand
what is happening in your mouth if you
can see the problem on a computer
monitor.
This digital image can be
utilized to provide information to
insurances and other doctors if
necessary.
Diagnodent
The Diagnodent helps detect
dental caries at the earliest possible
stage so that the most appropriate
treatment can be presented to you.
Diagnodent is a fluorescent laser that
finds cavities which lie beneath the
surface of the tooth. There are
often cavities that x-rays and the
explorer do not find. This
advanced technology helps to preserve a
greater amount of your tooth structure
by uncovering dental decay before it
progresses too far.
Rotary
Endodontics
Rotary Endodontics, or root canal, is a
method in which the doctor utilizes an
electric handpiece to perform the
procedure.
The electric handpiece allows the
doctor to clean and shape the canals
faster than using hand files and because
it s electric, there is no drill noise.
This makes the whole treatment
experience much more pleasant.
Electric
Handpieces
There are basically
two types of handpieces, air-driven and
electric. Electric handpieces are much
stronger than air-driven due to the fact
that a motor is spinning the bur as
opposed to air.
This allows the doctor to remove
decay at a faster pace.
This will cut down on the time it
takes to complete a procedure.
