Cone Beam CT Scanner

Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art, small volume cone-beam CT (computed tomography) technology \, that provides highly accurate, 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of endodontic disease. This allows three-dimensional visualization of teeth, bone, sinuses and surrounding structures with minimal radiation to the patient, enabling a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies (regular dental x-rays). EMC Endodontics & Microsurgery Center has the number one scan for dental purposes: J. Morita from Japan. This high resolution scan has been proven to have higher resolution and the best image quality.

With the addition of cone-beam CT technology to our office, our practice is committed to providing innovative, high-quality, patient care.

DIGITAL IMAGING

We carefully chooses which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 90 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.

SURGICAL MICROSCOPES

The introduction of the surgical microscope has revolutionized the field of Endodontics. We do all the Endodontic procedures including Root Canal Treatments, Retreatments and Endodontic Microsurgeries. with the  magnification and illumination of the scope. We have invested in the very best quality surgical microscopes, by Carl Zeiss, that provide unparalleled magnification and illumination for our surgical procedures.

Our success depends on us being able to see the minutest of details – you cannot treat what you cannot see. In addition, we have incorporated the latest high definition video allowing us to record the procedures with unequalled clarity and detail and we have incorporated a camara to take pictures of your tooth.
