Dental Technologies
Digital X-Rays
X-rays are a very valuable diagnostic tool in dentistry. They
are used to identify various dental health issues. Traditional
x-rays require film to capture an image and chemicals to
develop it. With digital x-rays, images are captured
electronically; therefore, it is a much more efficient process
since both film and development time is eliminated.
Benefits:
- 90% less radiation compared to traditional film x-rays
- Image is immediately available
- Ability to digitally filter the image for a more accurate and in-depth
diagnosis
- Patients can view x-ray images to better understand treatment
options
- Environmentally friendly since film and chemicals are eliminated
Intra-Oral Camera
An intra-oral camera is a dental
instrument that can be safely placed into a patient's mouth to
display video or capture still images. Patients are able to
view images from the intra-oral camera directly on the
monitor. The visual aid allows a patient to better associate
with and understand their dental health issues and treatment
options.
Benefits:
- Ability to capture video or still images to help patient's
better understand their dental health issues and treatment options
- Captured images can be used in referral situations, sent to
insurance companies to assist claims, or to supplement other
documentation
High Definition Magnification Loupes
Dental loupes are light weight
glasses with high resolution magnification telescopes. They
provide improved visual accuracy of the operating site so
procedures can be performed more effectively and efficiently.
Combined with a fiber optic light providing superior
illumination, this dental technology not only offers enhanced
ergonomics for the dentist but more accurate treatment for the
patient as well.
Benefits:
- Improved visual accuracy and reduced eye strain
- High resolution image of the operating site without sacrificing
full view of the oral cavity
- Fiber optic light provides excellent operating site illumination
and eliminates shadows caused by the overhead dental light
Ultrasonic Scaler
Electric and manual scaling
should be combined to achieve optimal teeth cleaning results.
An ultrasonic scaler can efficiently break-up and reduce heavy
tartar buildup while manual instruments are required to remove
the remaining tartar remnants. Our ultrasonic scalers offer
enhanced patient comfort because they are able maintain
scaling effectiveness even at ultra-low power settings.
Benefits:
- Efficiently removes tartar build-up
- Enhanced patient comfort
- Effectively contributes to optimal teeth cleaning results
