Dental Technology
Digital X-Ray & Imaging
Digital radiography uses an estimated 50-90 % less radiation than conventional film x-rays. Digital X-rays use a digital image capture device in place of traditional film. The result is a highly-detailed image of the mouth, and its contrast and resolution can be enhanced to more easily diagnose dental problems and determine the very best treatment for each case.
3-D X-Ray
Especially, we offer 3-D X-ray which allows Dr. Hoang to accurately view dental anatomy from different angles. A 3D scan can help gain a better view of vital structures, in order provide the ability to more accurately measure anatomical structures. Further, they increase the possibility of treatment success, granting Dr. Hoang greater predictability and confidence in preparing for extractions, performing root evaluations, and placing implants.
INTRAORAL CAMERA
Intraoral cameras, cameras about the size of a pen, help Dr. Hoang to see the condition of teeth and gums more clearly. This advanced technology allows us to zoom in on small diseased areas, cracks, chips, and worn metal fillings to provide a more detailed view. The full-color images are sent to a computer screen, making it easy to see and diagnose dental problems much earlier than with traditional dental technology.
LASER DENTISTRY
Laser Dentistry is used in multiple procedures including: gum and bone surgery, tooth decay removal, teeth whitening, biopsy, root canal therapy, etc.
All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. When used for surgical and dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue that it comes in contact with. When used for “curing” a filling, the laser helps to strengthen the bond between the filling and the tooth. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents.
Rotary Root Canal Therapy Systems
The introduction of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary files to endodontics almost two decades ago has changed the way root canal preparations are performed, enabling more complicated root canal systems to be shaped with fewer procedural errors. Dr. Hoang uses one of the best endodontic instruments and machines in the world including Morita Apex Locator, Endosequence Rotary System. The Endo-S.
