Trios 3d scanner

One of the most important benefits of TRIOS® and intraoral scanners in general, is improving the patient experience.  There is no more need to take tooth impressions with gooey material.  It’s not fun.  7.5% of patients almost-always gag when they visit a dentist.  Because of that, people are afraid to go to the dentist.  Taking digital impressions is more comfortable for patients.  The accuracy of digital impressions and the resulting crowns means a much better fitting restoration.  The accuracy also cuts down on the need for remakes.  So patient-visits are quicker and they don’t have to come back for adjustments.

Picasso Plus Dental Laser

There are many uses for the soft tissue diode laser.  When treating patients with periodontal disease, the laser probe can be introduced into the pocket and provide a bactericidal and detoxifying effect.  In daily practice, soft tissue diode laser is ideal as a simultaneous cutting and coagulating instrument.  It removes extra soft tissue to make crowns look better or to make uneven gum-line look straight and aesthetically pleasing.  In all cases the dentist is able to provide treatment with less trauma, increased healing, and faster patient recovery.

Air polishing

Air polishing is a procedure which uses air & water pressure to deliver a stream of specially processed powders in a slurry through the handpiece nozzle.  Fine particles of powders are propelled by compressed air in a warm spray and directed onto the surfaces of the teeth.  This pressurized jet of air, water and powder removes surface stains, plaque and other soft deposits such as food particles trapped in between the teeth.

ZOOM™ whitening

ZOOM™ is a bleaching process used to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin.  The ZOOM™ in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the ZOOM™ Advanced Power Chairside Lamp - to accelerate the bleaching process - to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening.  Unlike home-use systems that incorporate low-dose bleaching agents, in-office whitening takes place under carefully monitored conditions which allow for the safe, controlled use of a relatively high concentration of bleaching gel - yielding results that are visible within 45 min procedure.

Intraoral photography

Intraoral cameras (IOCs) are cameras used by dentists or doctors to show a patient the interior of their mouth, as an alternative to using a mirror.  They are now widely used in dental offices, allowing  patient to see a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, aiding the dentist in consulting with them on various treatment options.  Images can be saved to a patient's file for future reference.

Vizilite oral cancer check

A Vizilite examination is essential for the persons who are more susceptible for oral cancer.  Vizilite hopes to make early detection of oral cancer in patients who do not show symptoms.  Vizilite, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for the patients who are at a high risk for oral cancers.  It is a painless, effective,fast and a life saving procedure whereby a chemical product is introduced to mouth cavity which reacts with abnormal cells and appears a different color.  A dentist then is able to further decide as to the necessity of further diagnostics or referral to oral surgeon.

Sirona Panoramic X-ray

Panoramic radiography, also called panoramic x-ray, is a two-dimensional (2-D) dental x-ray examination that captures the entire mouth in a single image, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, surrounding structures and tissues.   Panoramic  X-ray uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to capture the entire mouth in one image.  It is commonly performed by dentists and oral surgeons in everyday practice and may be used to plan treatment for dentures, braces, extractions and implants.
