Technology

The tools that change what's possible.

Several remarkable endodontic advancements in recent years have made saving your tooth more comfortable, thorough, and predictable than ever. We take pride in practicing on the leading edge of technology and offering our patients the very best treatment available anywhere.

Gentlewave

Advanced fluid dynamics. Cleaner canals. Stronger teeth.

Sonendo Gentlewave is state-of-the-art technology that uses advanced fluid dynamics and soundwaves to completely clean and disinfect even the most complex canal anatomy. This incredible system accomplishes this while simultaneously allowing us to conserve more of your tooth structure, resulting in a cleaner, yet stronger tooth. With the Gentlewave, we have been able to save teeth that otherwise would have needed to be extracted.

Saves teeth previously considered unrestorable

Cone Beam CT

Three-dimensional clarity before the first instrument.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) allows us to see through anatomical structures in 3 dimensions and has proven to be an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of endodontic scenarios. Canals, anatomical structures, and infectious lesions that are not visible with standard 2-dimensional x-rays are often seen clearly with CBCT. CBCT can be valuable in helping to identify teeth where treatment is needed that would otherwise go undetected. It is also extremely valuable in identifying cases where treatment would be predestined to failure — saving countless patients from wasting time, money, and hope on a lost cause.

Surgical Operating Microscopes

You cannot treat what you cannot see.

Operating Microscopes are used throughout every treatment to ensure that treatment is safe, precise, and thorough. "The scope" is an absolutely essential piece of equipment in endodontic treatment — one cannot treat what they cannot see. At high magnification with coaxial illumination, calcifications, hairline cracks, untreated accessory canals, and instrument fragments all become visible and workable.

Ultrasonic Instrumentation

Precision beyond what a hand instrument can reach.

Ultrasonic instruments are small instruments that allow for very careful and controlled removal of tooth structure. Ultrasonic instruments are routinely used in combination with the operating microscope and CBCT scans to safely locate tiny hidden canals, which are otherwise untreatable. In surgical cases, ultrasonic retropreparation has replaced the bur as the standard of care, producing a cleaner, more conservatively shaped preparation entirely within the root end.

Infection Control

Water quality that exceeds CDC standards.

High standards of asepsis and sterilization are adhered to in our office. One example is our Sterilox generator — an FDA-approved system used to destroy and prevent the formation of biofilms in dental treatment water lines. The Sterilox ensures that water used during treatment is completely safe and free of micro-organisms that typically inhabit water lines, allowing our water quality to dramatically exceed the standards set forth by the Centers for Disease Control.

Digital Radiography

Immediate, low-dose, high-resolution images.

Digital radiography is used instead of conventional x-rays, resulting in substantially less radiation exposure and more efficient treatment. Images are available instantly and do not require the environmentally harmful chemicals used to develop traditional film. CBCT scans also use digital radiography and require only a tiny fraction of the exposure of a medical CT scan.

Up to 90% radiation reduction vs. film
Immediate chairside image review
No chemical processing required
Seamless digital sharing with referring doctors

Secure Server & Patient Records

Best-in-class software. Fully protected records.

We use TDO Software, which we believe is the best endodontic software available. Created by a visionary endodontist, the features of TDO are extensive and the secure server is regularly backed up to ensure all patient information is protected. TDO technology allows documentation to be more thorough and allows us to communicate more effectively with both patients and referring doctors.
