We have evolved into the new millennium with digital sensors for x-rays instead of chemically processed photographic film. This saves our patients time while offering a safer alternative known to reduce radiation by 40 - 60 percent. Images are captured using intraoral cameras that connect to computers, allowing patients to see what their doctors are seeing simultaneously.
One of the keys to painless root canals lies in the accurate determination of root canal spaces. Our doctors use electronic apex locators for utmost precision in determining position and length. These devices are more accurate than radiography and help minimize bleeding, pain, and swelling.
For treated root canals to stay healed over the years, they must be filled completely and densely with an airtight seal. Our dentists achieve utmost precision in this process using state-of-the-art obturation technology.
Our dentists can now locate hidden decay (from the inside out) before it destroys tooth structure. They do this using a pen-like instrument that scans teeth with harmless laser light. The early detection is key, allowing for treatment that can stop the spread of disease before it destroys teeth from within.
Electric handpieces enable increased precision over traditional instruments, allowing dentists to complete treatment faster, with much less effort. They also significantly reduce noise and vibration, which results in utmost comfort for our patients.
Laser whitening is a dentist-assisted procedure that involves the application of a bleaching agent and the use of laser light to activate and accelerate the whitening process.
