Thanks to the integration of advanced dental technology in our practice, our team provides the best care for patients in and around the Russell, Kentucky, area. Let’s explore the devices and techniques we use to guarantee high-quality dental care for every patient visiting our office.
3Shape TRIOS 3D Digital Impressions
The 3Shape Trios 4 scanner offers a more comfortable patient experience while improving efficiency and accuracy. It often reduces the need for multiple office visits and saves time.
Traditionally, impressions were taken with trays filled with a messy, unpleasant-tasting material that would harden around the teeth and gums to create a model for treatment planning and restorations.
With the digital intraoral scanner, our advanced technology in our dental office can now take precise digital impressions in a way that is quick, clean, and comfortable. Accurate impressions are essential for many dental and orthodontic procedures, and this technology allows us to deliver better care with ease.
Digital X-Ray
Digital X-rays require significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, so much so that some states no longer mandate lead aprons as standard practice. Their enhanced diagnostic capabilities and the ability to display images on a computer screen make it easier for patients to understand and follow their treatment plans. Digital X-rays are also instant, eliminating the need for film development, which saves time and improves patient care. Plus, they’re eco-friendly—by eliminating film, developers, and chemical waste, digital X-rays are better for both you and the environment!
Microscopes & Imaging
Specialized operating microscopes provide endodontists with a highly detailed view during every stage of the treatment. The enhanced magnification and illumination allow for precise work, making detecting small details like calcified canals and fractures easier. Using a dental surgical microscope, the endodontist can diagnose and treat more accurately, improving treatment outcomes from “good” to “excellent.” Some microscopes include high-resolution video and digital photography, which can help document treatments and enhance patient communication.
Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
Our practice utilizes electronic medical records to access patient information quickly and accurately, ensuring the highest level of care. This digital system enhances patient confidentiality, eliminates the need for paper, and streamlines access to information for insurance purposes while maintaining a secure filing system.
Digital Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera brings advanced video technology to dental care, allowing patients and dentists to view detailed, real-time images of the teeth and mouth. This tool helps you better understand your oral health and stay informed about what’s happening in your mouth.
Electronic Apex Locator
This device measures the exact length of the root canal, helping the doctor determine the file’s position relative to the root apex. This ensures the canal is thoroughly cleaned, minimizing the risk of future complications.
Piezo Electric Handpieces
These handpieces are designed for periodontal (gum) and osseous (bone) surgery. They provide a precise and gentle way to remove harmful bacteria without the need for invasive procedures.
Digital Flat Screen Monitors
Each patient chair has a monitor, allowing patients to watch movies or TV shows during their visit. The monitors also display dental radiographs, helping patients better understand their oral health when discussing findings with the doctor.
Wi-Fi
We provide free Wi-Fi for our patients during their visit.
