Our Technology

  • Digital Radiography

    Our digital x-rays are an efficient and effective method for sending x-rays to and from your referring dentist.

  • Operating Microscopes

In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special Zeiss operating microscopes. Zeiss microscopes are internationally recognized for their excellent magnification qualities. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth.

 

 


 
 

 


  • Apex Locators

    An electronic apex locator is an electronic device used in endodontics to determine the position of the apical foramen to determine the length of the root canal space. The apex of the root has a specific resistance to electrical current, and this is measured using a pair of electrodes typically hooked onto the lip and attached to an endodontic file. The Apex Locator gives dental professionals a more accurate measurement of pulp canal space.

  • Ultrasonics

    During the past few decades endodontic treatment has benefited from the development of new techniques and equipment, which have improved outcome and predictability of treatment. Important attributes such as the operating microscope and ultrasonics have found indispensable applications in a number of dental procedures. Ultrasonics in endodontics has enhanced the quality of treatment. Since its introduction, ultrasonics have become increasingly more useful in applications such as gaining access to canal openings, cleaning and shaping, obturation of root canals, removal of intracanal materials and obstructions, and endodontic surgery.
