We also have a fulltime Master Lab Technician on premises. He has worked as part of our office team since 1980 and is truly an artist. With a lab technician on site, we are able to help our patients with emergency repairs, usually the same day.
Having an in house technician also allows us to complete our patient’s treatment involving dental lab work with a personal touch and in a shorter time frame than other offices.
We take sterilization and cleanliness very seriously. We chemically sterilize, ultrasonically clean and autoclave (heat and steam under pressure) all re-usable equipment. All other supplies are disposable. We never even use a dental drill bit more than once. Of course, gloves and sterile drapes are always used.
We have a computer system in every room and they are networked together. This enables our staff to view your records and make estimates and appointments in the treatment room. This helps with your privacy and prevents long checkout lines at the front desk.
We have state-of-the-art dental inra-oral cameras that can record detailed and precise pictures of your teeth and soft tissue.
This helps authenticate injuries and dental claims along with suspicious lesions for future reference.
We have both conventional dental X-Ray units and digital X-Rays that can show a single tooth enlarged to the size of a computer screen.
This helps us to make a better diagnosis in a shorter period of time.
Digital X-Rays use only 1/10th the radiation of a conventional x-ray, even though our conventional x-rays themselves are already operating at a very low radiation level.
The DIAGNOdent can find cavities that other dental instruments can miss.
Cavities are good at hiding.
The device is designed as an adjunct to a traditional oral examination in the detection of occlusal decay. Teeth that are suspicious for caries are ideal candidates for survey with the device
Key Benefits:
A laser examination tool (a cavity detector). DIAGNOdent provides dentists with immediate feedback.
Early appointments and detection of caries will mean fewer fillings and lower cost for dental treatments .
DIAGNOdent is proven to be 90% accurate.
