Intraoral Camera

Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside of your mouth. This will provide you with a tooth by tooth video exam of your teeth that you can see enlarged in living color on our computer screen in the treatment room. We can freeze and store the picture of the inside of your mouth for a bigger and better look and then take an instant photograph for your records.

This painless, no radiation technique allows us to let you see what we see. Problems such as worn-out fillings, fractured teeth, small cracks and fissures in the tooth anatomy. decay, trauma, bleeding gums and plaque can be magnified and clearly visible. Together we can discuss your treatment plan with you for restoring your mouth to optimal health.

OralCDx

OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection, a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the last 50 years.

OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.

Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars” missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes a neural network-based image processing system specifically adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy samples.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

The cavitron is an ultrasonic scaler. Power scalers do a more thorough job in less time. This results in significantly decreased scaling time and healthier, cleaner teeth and gums. Hand scalers require repetitive scrapping movements and are restricted to adaptation of only one or two sides of the instrument. In comparison, all four sides of a power scaler can be adapted, because the device moves in an elliptical motion. This comes in handy when removing stain and deposits from behind and between the teeth. Ultrasonic scalers are more effective in removing stain as well. The ultrasonic vibration helps control oral bacteria by breaking down the cell wall of the bacteria. The water used to cool the cavitron then helps to rinse away bacteria, stain and debris.

Voice-activated Charting Software

This system connects a computer database to a wireless voice-activated headset so we can quickly, easily, and accurately record individual measurements when performing a periodontal exam. Because clinical data are recorded directly into the computer, the voice activated system reduces the potential for errors and allows for greater accuracy.
