DIGITAL X-RAY

The most important benefit in using the digital X-Ray system is that it reduces the radiation by as much as 90 %.  It also allows our dentists the flexibility of manipulating the image of your tooth (zoom in, color, rotate), thus giving them access to very important information about its health and the extent of damage caused by disease (if any). As well as assisting the dentist with the process of collecting more precise information, the digital X-Ray allows you to see what the dentist sees, so it's easier for you to understand your condition and be an active participant in choosing the appropriate treatment.

INTRA-ORAL CAMERA

This camera takes photos of your teeth and projects them onto a TV screen, allowing you to see exactly what your dentist sees - decay, faulty fillings and other restorations, gums, etc. You will be able to see for yourself all problems which exist, even if you have not experienced or noticed them before.  We can print these photos and give them to you to take home so that you can discuss your condition and treatment options with your family and/or friends to help you to arrive at the most educated decision regarding your dental work.

LASER

There is a vast array of dental applications for laser energy. It can be used to whiten your teeth, improve the contour of your gums, treat gum disease (periodontitis) by decontamination and disinfection of gum pockets. It has also proven to be extremely effective and painless in the treatment of aphthous ulcers (canker sores).

DIGITAL CARIES DETECTION

Studies show that as much as 50% of dental decay may go undetected by traditional diagnostic methods. The Digital Caries Detection tool assists your dentist in diagnosing hidden decay, thus making it possible to treat it at early stages. It is a great way to keep little problems from becoming big health risks. It also means less complicated and less costly dental treatment.

COMPUTER IMAGING SYSTEM

This system creates a visual image of the potential end-result of your cosmetic dental make-over - a great way to get a sneak preview of the new you! You can preview your smile before the clinical process begins. You will be able to share your concerns about the appearance of your teeth and your expectations of the makeover. At the same time, it allows your dentist to make suggestions about the color and shape for your ideal smile and to better plan the dental treatment process the two of you will need to follow to achieve the desired results.

Another very important benefit of computer imaging is that it helps to identify which changes or desired results may not be achievable. You do not want to spend your resources to pursue goals that for some reasons are unrealistic. For most people though, cosmetic dentistry can give them the smile of their dreams.

COMPUTER-CONTROLLED ANESTETIC DELIVERY SYSTEM

This tool is designed to minimize your anxiety by delivering a virtually painless injection. It allows for controlled, effective and comfortable numbing of the tooth, in most cases without having the cheek, lip, tongue or face affected. This contributes greatly to your comfort during and after the dental appointment.

MULTIMEDIA PATIENT EDUCATION SYSTEM

This system explains to our patients what procedures will be performed and why. It's customized to suit the needs and interests of each individual patient and helps them to make educated and informed decisions about their treatment.
