What new technologies are being used?

Surgical Operating Microscopes:

We utilize special state-of-the-art surgical operating microscopes for both conventional and microsurgical procedures. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see the tiny details inside your tooth. This allows for rapid and thorough treatment of even the most complex teeth. 

Apex Locators:

At our office we utilize advanced electronic root-length measuring technology to insure accuracy. These instruments work by measuring and comparing resistance of tooth structure and tooth support tissue to provide a visual and audible signal to indicate precise root length.

Ultrasonics:

All of our treatment rooms are equipped with sophisticated ultrasonic instruments. These units are used to remove obstructions from root canals, aid in the search for extra or calcified canals, and allow for precise root-end fillings in endodontic microsurgery cases. These instruments have also increased the safety of many of our procedures and have aided in the preservation of needed tooth structure.

Nickel Titanium rotary instruments:

A new generation of endodontic instruments have replaced stainless steel. Made from an alloy of nickel and titanium, these new instruments have the unique properties of greater flexibility and greater resistance to fracture as compared to stainless steel. These properties allow the instruments to follow the intricate curves of the root canal, resulting in predictable, efficient and rapid cleaning and shaping of the tooth canals.

Electric Handpieces:

Along with these new nickel-titanium rotary instruments have come the advent of electric motor handpieces. These handpieces are virtually silent, and can decrease the stress and anxiety of treatment.
