Digital X-ray

Digital radiography is a type of X-ray imaging that uses digital X-ray sensors to replace traditional photographic X-ray film, producing enhanced computer images of teeth, gums, and other oral structures and conditions. Digital X-rays also deliver 90% less radiation than traditional film x-rays.


Intraoral Camera

A highly advanced piece of diagnostic equipment that allows dentists to see what we see inside your mouth. The intraoral camera handpiece is approximately the size and shape of a dental mirror.


Ultrasonic Scalers

An ultrasonic scaler is a dental tool that uses high frequency ultrasonic waves to clean teeth.  The sonic scaler is air-driven, and the tip moves in an elliptical motion. The ultrasonic handpiece utilizes either magnetostrictive or piezo-electric technology. Magnetostrictive inserts operate at 25,000 to 30,000 cycles/second and, like the sonic scaler, have an elliptical motion. A low-voltage magnetic signal causes tip movement. Piezo-electric technology operates at 28,000 to 36,000 cycles/second. The tip moves in a back-and-forth motion and works along the side of the tooth, shaving off calculus and debris.


Hospital Grade Sterilization 

An autoclave is a pressure chamber used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure saturated steam at 121 °C for around 15–20 minutes depending on the size of the load and the contents.
