Sterilization
We use a powerful autoclave to sterilize equipment and dental instruments. This helps to safeguard against germs and contamination.
Cavitron
A cavitron is a dental tool that uses high frequency sound waves to clean teeth. These high frequency sound waves remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth and gums. Water is then used to flush it all away leaving your teeth clean.
Cephalometric X-Rays
An x-ray of the head that shows whether your teeth are aligned properly and if they are growing properly.
Digital X-Rays
Our office uses the latest in digital x-ray technology. Digital x-rays offer a detailed image of your entire mouth and also offer up to 80% less radiation than traditional film x-rays.
X-rays play an invaluable role in the diagnosis of dental problems, as well as provide a clear picture for a dentist to accurately diagnose and provide the necessary treatment.
We place a small sensor in your mouth. The sensor is connected to a computer by a thin wire. Next, an x-ray beam is sent through your teeth and into the sensor, which records the image of your teeth and sends it to the computer. The sensor can then be repositioned to image other sections of your teeth.
The digital dental x-ray system is more sensitive than dental x-ray film systems, so your exposure to x-rays is cut by as much as 90 percent. The large and color-enhanced images let you see what your dentist sees, so it's easier for you to understand how your dentist will treat your teeth. Your dental checkups take less time, and it's fun to watch this system work! Most patients are amazed.
Distilled Water
We use distilled water rather than tap water to help safeguard against germs and contamination.
High-Volume Suction
If germs can’t get into the air, then they can' spread to others. We use one of two high-volume suction systems (depending on the patient and the procedure) to gently pull any saliva from your mouth before it can circulate in the air.
Intra-Oral Camera
We provide our patients with an intra-oral video examination. This allows both the doctor and the patient to see the condition of the mouth at the same time, then discuss treatment options.
Isolite
Isolite is the only dental device that delivers continuous illumination, aspiration and retraction all in one easy-to-use, time-saving device that makes isolation easy and provides uninterrupted access to your mouth. Isolite helps your dentist work safer, faster, brighter and drier.
