Modern technology has made dentistry more efficient and comfortable than ever before, and we're thrilled to bring our patients the latest techniques and technology at St George's Dental. Our dentists are committed to updating and enhancing their skills and expertise to make dental procedures as efficient and comfortable as possible.
You can take a look here at some of the equipment and technology we have at our Lower Plenty dental practice and learn more about how it benefits you.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital sensors capture digital x-rays that our dentists use to get a closer look internally at your teeth and jawbone. This is useful for monitoring your dental health and diagnosing concerns as early as possible.
Digital x-rays are safer for our patients since they emit minimal radiation, and they're also safer for the environment because they don't require chemicals to develop.
Panoramic X-Ray
A panoramic x-ray gives our dentists a full view of the teeth, jawbone, and soft tissues with one image. We typically recommend this type of x-ray every few years or, if needed, for treatment planning orthodontics, implant dentistry, or other treatment procedures.
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontic tools streamline root canal treatment and make it quicker and more comfortable for patients. Made of flexible nickel-titanium, the electric tools can reach the inner canals of your tooth more easily and remove the infected tissue faster.
When you have an infected tooth, our goal is to get you back to optimal health as soon as we can, and rotary endodontic tools make that possible.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera allows our dentists to take full-colour pictures inside the mouth of your teeth, gums, and other soft tissues. We can immediately share the photos on-screen on the televisions in our treatment rooms, which makes it easier for our patients to see and understand their treatment needs.
Colour pictures help our patients make the best treatment decisions for their smiles.
