- Digital x-rays- use 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays and enable us to eliminate the processing chemicals which is better for the environment. The highly detailed image of your teeth on our computer screen, can be rotated, magnified, adjusted for contrast, and even color-coded for educational purposes. Further, we can store it on our computer files, thus saving paper. For insurance purposes, referrals or patient education, it can be accurately reproduced any number of times. In summary, digital x-rays are safer, faster, cleaner, and allow us to provide better quality care.
- Panorex Digital X-ray- X-rays taken with the Digital Panorexdental machine differ from other digital x-rays in that they take a “panoramic” picture of the teeth. That is, the machine makes an entire half-circle motion to capture an image of the entire oral cavity. Like digital X-rays, digital Panorex X-rays reduce the amount of radiation patients are exposed to with standard X-rays by up to 90 percent. Digital Panorex X-rays are only necessary on initial visits and every few years thereafter.
- Electric Handpieces- Allows for more precise tooth preparation in less time than a standard air driven hand piece. In addition to saving time, it is much quieter technology creating a less stressful and more comfortable environment.
- Prophy Jet / Cavitron- removes, plaque, stain, and calculus easily during cleanings
- Digital photography- for patient, doctor, insurance and laboratory communication
- Intraoral Camera- captures detailed close up images of teeth, restorations, and tissue that we can use to show you what we see as well as documenting for insurance or future reference.
- Diagnodent laser- This instrument uses a small laser to detect cavities. It's completely safe and painless. It also allows for much earlier detection and therefore a much smaller restoration would be needed or with preventative treatment may eliminate the need for a filling entirely.
- Massaging Dental Chairs- Our dental chairs feature massage action. You will massage stress, aches and pains away just sitting down for your dental exam. This technology is optional and FREE of charge and is aimed to make your visit even better. Our patients love this feature as it makes them more relaxed during their appointment.
