Our office uses modern, state-of-the-art technology to enhance
patient comfort and to help you get the smile you deserve!
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
| Digital x-rays
can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image
directly into a computer monitor. This larger image helps
the patient understand the doctor's explanations more
easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in" on
a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to
this new technology is that it reduces the amount of radiation
by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster. The digital image
only takes a minute or two to appear in the monitor. In
addition, this new technology is friendly to the environment
since no chemicals are needed for developing the image. |

DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system that
aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the complex anatomy
of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes laser
light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify
demineralized tooth substances without x-ray exposure.

Statim Cassette Sterilizers: Advanced sterilization system
 Today's
challenge of infection control and the demand of modern
patient treatment are met with SciCan's state of art sterilization
technology. In 1989, SciCan introduced the first STATIM
Cassette Autoclave® to the marketplace.
Today, dental and medical practitioners in over 60 countries
worldwide rely on Statim to protect their patients and
staff from infection from contaminated instruments.
Since SciCan began manufacturing, its autoclaves have
won several design and product awards in Canada and Europe.
As sales continue to grow, several versions of innovative
Sci Can autoclaves have been introduced to thousands of
dental and medical offices and hospitals throughout the
world.

Effective sterilization
The Statim's biological and physical effectiveness has
been proven in tests for hollow and solid instruments
as many internationally recognized institutes including:
University Hospital of London, Canada; Brooks Air Force
Base, United States; The University of Liverpool, England;
Institute Pasteur, France, and University of Kiel, Germany.
- Reliable
Statim is a reliable sterilization system that's compact
enough to fit in patient treatment areas, and fast enough
to provide sterilization of instruments between patients.
The Statim 2000 and 5000 take just 6 and 9 minutes, respectively,
for a complete sterilization cycle. Light, thin walled
cassettes promote rapid heating and cooling, further minimizing
overall process time.
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. |

Prophy-Jet
|
Prophy-Jet is an air polishing system which uses
air/water/sodium bicarbonate slurry to remove extrinsic
stain, dental plaque and soft debris while, at the
same time polishing tooth surfaces.
This is highly effective on patients wearing orthodontic
appliances. It is also a nice way to remove tarnish
from silver fillings adding life and luster.
Sodium bicarbonate is accepted by most patients and
is both minimally abrasive and water-soluble.
Air polishing leaves the teeth smoother, cleaner,
and whiter.

Advanced closed water system
 |
Uses distilled water made fresh in the office.
Iilluminates contamination from bio-films found in
tap water.
This is the water used to rinse the patients mouth
during cleanings and other procedures.
|
Computerized Medical History Forms
Less paperwork for the patient.
Easily updated.
Doctor can access from home for emergency.
Decreases risk of medical errors.

Intraoral Camera
|
|
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic
wand to easily take vivid photographs of the inside
of your mouth. This allows us to let you see what we
see. |
Veneers
|
New technology in veneer fabrication
allows us to perform dazzling transformations with
minimal surface preparation.

White fillings
|
|
Although white fillings have been around
for a long time, the new materials can now be used in
a wider range of applications allowing you to keep your
smile as white as it can be! |
