Dr. Prescott works with patients of all ages. She wants patients to be at peacein her chair, and uses her amazing chair-side manner to make them feel comfortable. Dr. Prescott is also certified in sedation, should her patients need a little more than her compassion when in her chair.
With the use of the piezoelectronic ultrasonic, Dr. Prescott is able to remove less tooth structure, thereby preserving more of your natural tooth, and decreasing the possibility that a crown will be needed.
We utilize a digital radiography system in place of conventional x-rays, which minimizes theradiation exposure to our patients. Digital radiographs also lallow forimproved diagnostic capabilities, & avoidthe hazardous environmental byproducts of conventional x-ray developing.
Also known as a 'CT Machine', our Kodak 9000scanner takes a very small rendering of the teeth & jaw (whichreduces the radiation exposure of normal 3-D scanners)andproduces a complete picture, accurate to the one hundreth of a millimeter! This allows for a better analyzation of the roots, bone & unique anatomy of each tooth, from all angles, giving Dr. Prescott all the information she needs to produce the best treatment plan possible for each patient she sees.
The dental aerosol vacuumhelps to catch any aerosols created during dental procedures. It may look like something from 'Horton Hears a Who' but does wonders for preventing spray coming from the handpiece. TheDentAirVac is an oral aerosol evacuation system with a HEPA filter capturing particles down to 0.3 microns.
Three large units are strategically placed around our office to circulate and clean theairthrough 6 different cleaning levels:including HEPA, Ultraviolet Light andCharcoal Filters. Theseunits completely circulate the air in ouroffice every 15-20 minutes. This helps remove any strong odors, allowing a peaceful environment for even the most sensitive patient.
The newest addition to our office, this Fotona laser does so much more than just allowingDr. Prescottto clean the canals better. Dr. Prescottcan do PhotoBioModulation, which helps heal areas that may not be healing with traditional treatments. The Genovo handpiece helps with TMJ issuesand deep aches &pains. Not only can Dr. Prescotthelp with PBM, but because the Lightwalker laser has two lasers that do very different things, she can also dosoft tissue management and hard tissue ablation, AKA she can doa filling without patients having to hear the sound of a drill!
