Technology

Techology

Our practice is modern and well-equipped as we have invested extensively in some of the best technology available today. We believe this is vital in helping us to quickly diagnose and treat dental problems, and we want you to benefit from high-quality dental care at every visit.

iTero intra-oral scanner

Intraoral scanner, iTero is a device used to record the teeth and soft tissues digitally, in lieu of conventional dental impressions. It improves accuracy and efficiency, and help patients avoid gagging, among many other benefits.

Digital Dental X-Rays and Sensors
Digital dental x-rays produce high-resolution images that assist our dentists in making accurate diagnoses. They are also safer for our patients, emitting up to 80 per cent less radiation and protecting the environment by eliminating the need for chemicals to develop traditional film.

Panoramic X-Rays (OPG)
A panoramic x-ray provides a full smile view of the teeth, bone, sinuses and jaw joints. Our dentists find panoramic x-rays particularly useful when planning extractions, orthodontics and surgeries.
Like our digital x-ray system, the panoramic x-ray takes only moments to capture. The machine will move around the head while you stand still.

Cone Bean CT (CBCT) scan
This is the newer form of technology that takes our X-ray capabilities to the next level.

Why is CBCT needed in dentistry?

CBCT scanners deliver high definition 3D images without exposing patients to high levels of radiation, allowing dentists to view the bone structure, evaluate potential diseases of the jaw, dentition, nerves, and the soft tissue of the face.

Why aren’t ordinary X-ray pictures enough for my dentist?

Only your dentist can answer that for you particular situation! Ordinary X-ray images (radiographs) are 2-dimensional, flat, pictures. Your teeth and jaws are 3-dimensional, so2-dimemsional images may not give sufficient information.

Electric Handpieces
One of the biggest complaints we hear from patients is that they do not like the vibration and noise associated with dental treatment. Electric handpieces are quieter than their air-driven predecessors and make procedures more efficient.

Rotary Endodontics
Root canals are perhaps the dental treatment with the most negative reputation. Modern rotary instruments, however, have made treatment more comfortable, accurate and faster.
