Technology

At South Riding Aesthetic Dentistry we pride ourselves on being on the cutting edge of our profession. This means that we can provide you with all the latest diagnostic and treatment technology in keeping with the exceptional care we provide. These technologies include:

Intra-Oral Cameras

Tiny, pen-sized intra-oral cameras allow doctors to get an up-close look at your teeth and gums. Live video images are then magnified and displayed on television monitors right in the treatment room, allowing problems to be addressed long before other approaches would have even detected them.


Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays are as accurate as conventional x-rays but because the images can be magnified up to 300 times, they are much more reliable when it comes to detecting problems. Most importantly, digital x-rays lessen our patients' exposure time to radiation. In addition they do not require photo chemicals and traditional film, thus eliminating waste.

 

Myotronics K7 and Tens Unit

The Myotronics K7 unit and Tens system are highly sensitive and accurate devices designed to evaluate the current state of your bite and determine its most comfortable and functional position. By gently stimulating muscle activity with a low frequency electrical pulse, the Tens releases and eliminates painful toxin build-up allowing muscles to relax. At that point, the K7 is used to measure muscle activity (similar to an EKG) and the proper position for restoration of the bite. The K7 is also used after the dental work is completed in order to confirm the bite's postion.

Digital Images

Thanks to computer technology, you can get a good idea of what your new smile will look like before any work even begins. Working from a photograph of your original smile, our doctors can use sophisticated computers to manipulate the imagery, giving you a preview of your final breathtaking result.


Computers

We feature computers in every treatment room which enables our team to have immediate access to all our patient files. Your personal file contains your health history and treatment plan, assuring consistency and quality of care.
