Arestin Periodontal Antibiotic |
ARESTIN is an antibiotic placed directly in the infected areas or "pockets" in your gums. It's applied right after scaling and root planing, the dental procedure that disrupts stubborn plaque and bacteria below your gumline. |
Intra-Oral Camera |
A picture is worth a thousand words!! By using an intra-oral camera we can show you your tooth, up close, on a color monitor. The intra-oral camera is a powerful tool that enables detailed visual examinations (up to 40x magnification) of a patients teeth. This technology greatly enhances our ability to see problems, as small as a hairline crack in a tooth. Seeing is believing!! |
Cone Beam Computed Tomography |
The introduction of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology in dentistry is rapidly changing the diagnostic landscape, allowing dentists to now diagnose in three dimensions. |
Diode Laser
|
The diode laser is flexible enough to be used in many different procedures. It is most commonly used to perform soft-tissue surgery, including removing tumors and lesions from the soft tissues of the mouth. Because the diode laser’s high-energy beam kills bacteria, it is often used to sterilize areas of the mouth before or during root canals, cavity treatment, and other such procedures.
With many different applications, the diode laser is one of the most exciting tools available to laser dentistry practices. This revolutionary technology allows dentists to treat patients with great precision, meaning less pain and quicker healing. Diode lasers can be used in several cosmetic dentistry procedures, including tooth whitening. |
Digital X-Rays |
Digital X-Ray's are a form of x-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography. |
