We are committed to using the latest state-of-the-art technology in diagnosis and treatment, allowing for the best possible care for our patients.

Technology

Microscopes and Imaging
Magnification and illumination are quickly becoming the standard of care when it comes to root canal therapy.  The use of an operating microscope gives the doctor a much better ability to visualize your tooth as well as incredible precision during the technical aspects of treatment.

Digital Radiography
With the use of advanced non-film dental imaging known as CDR (computed dental radiography) the already low radiation level is reduced by 80% compared to conventional film. An electronic sensor produces computerized radiographs which will appear instantly on a computer screen. These images can be archived, printed and sent electronically to your general dentist.

Nickel-Titanium Instruments
Metal instruments made of a unique alloy of nickel-titanium are used for cleaning and shaping of the root canal. We use a liquid antimicrobial agent along with the hand and rotary instruments to help remove bacteria and tissue.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
Our doctors use MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) a hydrophilic ceramic material that is used for pulp capping, resorption repair, and perforation repairs, root end filling for a surgical treatment, and apical plug during apexification. Its use as a biocompatible material with excellent resistance to leakage is widely supported by all endodontic literature.

Ultrasonic Hand-Piece
The diamond coated microscopic tips vibrate up to 25,000 cycles per second to insure accurate and speedy preparation of the tooth at the root-end for a retrograde filling in cases when microsurgical intervention is indicated. These ultrasonic units are used to remove posts and metal instruments, as well as aid in the search for calcified canals.
