Informing Your Treatment Plan
Dental technology gives us great insight into your oral health. The technology we use allows us to capture clear images of your teeth, and share the results with you so you can get a better idea of your diagnosis and treatment options.
Since we can get a better understanding of any oral health issues you may be experiencing, it is faster and easier for us to arrive at an appropriate treatment method to get your smile back to optimal health.
Dental technology also helps make your dental appointments run as effectively and efficiently as possible. That means you can spend less time in the dental chair and more time showing off your smile!
Our Port Hope dental professionals aim to provide you with the dental care you need while making sure you are fully informed about your oral health. Dental technology helps us accomplish that.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use digital sensors instead of the traditional photographic X-ray film. They allow us to create highly detailed computer images of your teeth and gums, as well as other oral structures and conditions. Simply put, these X-rays allow your dentist to examine parts of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.
Oral Cancer Screening Device
An oral cancer screening device helps your dentist identify abnormalities and diseases in your mouth, such as cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. These examinations only take about two minutes and can be quickly performed during your routine dental appointment.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays allow your dentist to produce a single image of your entire mouth. This shows a flat representation of the teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and nasal and sinus structures. These X-rays can be beneficial for dentists when planning treatments for extractions and dental implants.
