We are pleased to announce the addition of our latest digital imaging system to examine all of your teeth, jaw bones, TMJ and sinus regions. The key is that the latest system from PlanMeca Corporation takes all of your images OUTSIDE of your mouth. For those of you who have small mouths, gag reflexes, bony growths in the floor or roof of your mouth, the conventional digital dental xray sensor can often impinge on to those areas making it difficult to capture the image of your tooth and keep you comfortable. With the technology ever improving the images taken by our new Pro Max S3 radiographic system have the lowest exposure dosage in dental radiology today. This system is the only one available that can actually “look” for cavities without putting those “bitewing” tabs inside your mouth. For those of you suffering with “TMJ” we can screen, when necessary, the actual jaw joint itself to rule out more serious issues that can come up without sending you to an xray lab for a more lengthy series. The sinus images can let us rule out if there are any serious congestion issues that may require further specialty care. “Wisdom Teeth” imaging, through proper angulation, can be diagnosed to determine the “real” need for extraction treatment. Our new high definition imaging system offers you excellent diagnostics in a comfortable manner with an extraordinary low dose exposure. Please ask us to display the system to you on your next visit. This technological addition continues to set the standard for our practice. We have added equipment that is more diagnostic, definitely more user friendly for you, the patient, and safer.
