Dental CT Scans – Cone Beam Technology

Cone Beam technology provides a digital tomographic 3D view of the patient’s area of interest.  A traditional x-ray is only two-dimensional.  With Cone Beam systems the doctor is able to get a full 360 degree view of the tooth and all surrounding areas.  The 3D Cone Beam scanner provides nearly limitless views of the teeth while using less radiation than traditional medical CT technology. This new technology is fast, simple and painless, providing many wonderful benefits that were unavailable only a few years ago.

Digital X-ray Technology

We use a number of technologically advanced devices. For example, our digital x-ray technology produces radiation levels that are up to 90 percent lower than those of already low conventional dental x-ray machines. Not only that, these digital x-rays can be optimized, archived and distributed electronically to other healthcare providers. That makes it easier for us to share information, helping ensure a better outcome for you.

 

Powerful Operating Microscopes

The use of specialized operating microscopes means that the doctor is able to get a detailed look at the work they are doing during all phases of your endodontic treatment.  The additional magnification and illumination allow them to work with great precision and see small details such as calcified canals and fractures.  The Endodontist is able to more accurately diagnose and treat the patient using a dental surgical microscope to improve the potential outcome of the treatment from “good” to “excellent”.  Further, some microscopes may be equipped with high resolution video and digital photography allowing the doctor to enhance patient communication

 

Digital Intra-oral Cameras 

An intra-oral camera combines the latest video technologies with dental care. Both the patient and dentist can see detailed images of the teeth and mouth in real time. With an intraoral camera, you are able to better understand what is happening in your mouth and review the status of your oral health.

High Definition Monitors

These television monitors are found next to every patient chair. Patients can view their dental x-rays when speaking to the doctor about the findings for a better understanding of their oral health.
