Technology
 

Our practice is limited to endodontic procedures.  Our goal in treating you is to try to save your teeth.  We perform every endodontic procedure ranging from root canal therapy to advanced surgical procedures.  We use several technological advances to improve the quality of the endodontic care that you receive.

 

 
 

DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY

We use digital radiography to acquire an image of your tooth that can be displayed on a chair-side computer monitor.  Digital radiography allows us to expose patients to far less radiation than the traditional film technique while providing us with a tool for patient education. The image on the monitor is large enough for the patient to see, and can be altered using the computer program to provide diagnostic information.


MAGNIFICATION AND ILLUMINATION

 

We use high-power magnification and illumination to better view the small canals inside your tooth. This advantage allows a more thorough treatment of your tooth in both non-surgical and surgical root canal procedures. 

 


 ENDOSCOPE
           

An endoscope is a small scope with a fiberoptic light that allows us to actually go inside your tooth, view images on a monitor and even take pictures of our findings.  An endoscope is used both in conventional root canal therapy and surgical treatment.

 


COMPUTERIZED DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT  

We use computerized charting, which allows us to provide quick and accurate letters to your dentist.  The computerized reports utilize images of your tooth to better demonstrate the treatment performed.  All of your records are digitized and placed in a secure, computerized document management system that allows efficient and sterile access to your entire chart while providing the greatest degree of privacy.
