High-Resolution Intra-Oral Camera
This Hi-Tech camera records your dental exam and provides full-color photographs and computer monitor displays of any dental problems. It is about the size of a pen. You can actually see your present dental status and have a complete, visual understanding of the suggested dental treatment.
Air Abrasion
Air abrasion allows the early detection of decay because it can be employed to minimally open stained groove; if the stain opens into decay, the decay can be quickly removed and filled. Using air abrasion to conservatively open pits and groove not only facilitates early identification of carious lesions (cavity or decay), but ultimately may save healthy tooth structure. The new air abrasion cavity preparation systems allow conservative removal of tooth structure. Air abrasion allows ultraconservative tooth removal and leaves the remaining tooth structure sound, chemically clean and very bondable, also usually eliminates the need for numbing and/or needles.
Aquabrasion Fluid Abrasion cutting and polishing system is a new technology found to be safer for teeth. Throughout the accuracy and controllability of its abrasion technology, the Aquabrasion works conservatively to minimize the loss of sound material in tooth restoration. Moreover, as there is no direct contact with the tooth, the risk of chipping or stress fracturing is eliminated.
The Aquabrasion can replace the drill in many procedures, and is ideal for use in conjunction with modern dental adhesives and filling materials. It rapidly and efficiently removes hard tooth tissue, leaving cavity surfaces ideally textured for receiving the latest resins.
In addition to preparations for restorations and veneering, the Aquabrasion allows scaling, cleaning and polishing to be carried out quickly and easily with less patient trauma. The Aquabrasion can eliminate the need for local anesthesia in many procedures.
Laser Dentistry
Its ease of use, speed and precision allow for a wide range of conservative treatment options for periodontal therapy and all types of soft-tissue surgery. This means greater comfort and convenience for the patient. Laser treatment keeps bleeding to a minimum and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Greater post-operative comfort encourages increased patient
