You can have digital x-rays taken using only a third of the radiation dosage of typical digital x-rays. Truly amazing! We were using
the most sensitive x-ray film and a conventional, computerized
digital x-ray system, by switching to phosphor sensor plates
we were able to reduce the radiation exposure to our patients
by two thirds!!! |

You will not need to have sutures with this cut-free treatment. This device allows us to perform surgical
treatment of gum disease, treat ulcers
and do other soft tissue treatment without a scalpel.

Your cavities can be caught at an earlier stage and treated much more comfortably because they will be much smaller. Our Diagnodent helps us to save more of your tooth from being destroyed by decay.
Decay can be detected many months before
it might be detected without this device. Small areas of decay
enlarge very slowly as they start then, when a critical size
is reached, the decay process speeds up greatly.
Enamel is illuminated by the battery
operated Diagnodent laser [similar to a laser pointer] and decay "fluoresces" [emits light].
The light emitted by the decay is then evaluated by a sophisticated sensor
and a digital readout of the amount of light matching the light
given off by decay is then displayed.
Today teeth have extremely strong enamel. Fluoride affects the tooth surfaces making enamel much more resistant to decay and stronger. Enamel which has decay below it does not chip away to expose the decay as easily as it did before fluoride was used as much as it is used today. Pin point openings can be a pathway for decay to enter a tooth and be so small that they cannot be detected by the doctor without this special equipment. |

This is a system designed to help patients more completely
understand dental treatment, especially the newer modalities
available today. Our reception room will have a flat panel
television which can easily show many different topics of interest
to our patients in regard to their oral health care. We also
have DVD capabilities in our treatment areas. |

We have modernized our panoramic x-ray equipment by purchasing
the Gendex Orthoralix machine. In combination with our Air Techniques
ScanX we are delivering the best quality images at very low
radiation exposure for our patients. |

Your light cured restorations and veneers are cured much faster with our state of the art curing lights. These very
high intensity lights, have many uses in dentistry. These lights
are used for rapidly curing extremely strong,
extremely thin, bonded porcelain veneers. They can also be used
for curing large conventionally bonded restorations. These lights
are also an excellent adjunct for whitening your teeth. |

You can have decay removed from smaller cavities without drilling. This system allows us to remove decay,
shape teeth, and prepare surfaces ideally for bonded
restorations. It also allows us to ideally clean and roughen
surfaces for bonding crowns and bridges, as well as denture repairs. |

We have been using digital radiography since April 20th, 2001. Computerized
x-rays allow you & us to view the images within seconds. This is great for
emergencies.
We have upgraded to the ScanX sensor plate system which uses 1/3
of the radiation that the most sensitive film and conventional CCD sensor
technology use. See the top left 'ScanX' entry on this page.

This is a device which allows us to do better root canal treatment
with fewer x-rays. It is extremely useful, fast and allows for
better, easier treatment.

 |
| You will experience faster and easier shaping of teeth for larger restorations with this equipment. This system replaces the noisy, air turbine system for this treatment. It is smoother and more comfortable to use. This results in faster, easier shaping of teeth for both the doctor and the patient. |
