Advanced Technology

What new technologies are being used?

Operating Microscopes:

In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor’s findings.

Apex Locators

Allows us to electronically determine the actual length of a tooth and the end of the root without the use of x-rays. These devices work by calculating the resistance of tooth structure to provide a visual an audible signal.

Our special digital electric and wireless hand pieces controls high-tech Nickel Titanium instruments with great precision to facilitate the cleaning and shaping of the canals.

Reciprocating Motor Driven Handpiece

Vertical Reciprocation rapidly cuts through all curved, calcified, and tight canals and eliminates the need to worry about file failure even at faster speeds (8K to 30K revolutions per minute)

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (M.T.A.)

This relatively new ceramic material is hydrophilic. It is used for pulp cappings, resorptions, perforation repairs, retrofillings during apical surgical procedures and as an apical sealer during apexifications. It is biocompatible and resistant to micro leakage.
