One of our primary goals at A Plus Dental is to provide an exceptional experience for every patient each time they visit our Chelsea Heights dental clinic. We do this by bringing the latest techniques and technology to our practice, which helps us to streamline many procedures, making them more efficient, comfortable and practical for our patients.
We invite you to read on and learn more about the equipment and technology at our dental clinic and how it might benefit you.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays provide our dentists with immediate information about what's happening internally with your teeth. We can share these images with our patients right away, which helps with prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
Digital images are easy to store and access in your records, so your dentist can view and share the images easily and readily as needed. X-rays are integral in helping us monitor and evaluate your dental needs.
Panoramic X-Ray
A panoramic x-ray provides a complete, comprehensive view of your teeth, jawbone, and soft tissues with one image. Our dentists may use this information for treatment planning for procedures such as oral surgery, implant placement, and orthodontic treatment.
We typically recommend this type of x-ray every few years or as needed for certain treatment procedures.
TV's In Treatment Rooms
Televisions in our treatment rooms serve two purposes. First, they allow our dentists to view and share x-rays, photos, and other pertinent treatment information that may help you make the right decisions about the dental care you want for your smile.
Next, our patients can enjoy their favourite programs or movies on the television while they're having dental treatment done as a pleasant distraction.
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontic tools are even more comfortable and efficient for our dentists and patients during root canal treatment. Made of flexible nickel-titanium, these tools make reaching the inner canals of your tooth easier and more accessible.
Since they're electric, the tools work quicker and more efficiently, which means less time in the dental chair for our patients.
Intraoral Camera
Our slim, pen-shaped camera fits easily inside your mouth and gives our dentists full-colour photos of your teeth and soft tissues. The images are readily available on the television screens in our treatment rooms so you and your dentist can make the best decisions for your smile.
Seeing your teeth and mouth in full colour helps you understand which treatment procedures would benefit your needs.
Digital Impressions
Digital impressions eliminate the need for uncomfortable, messy impressions taken with a paste that hardens in your mouth. Instead, we can scan a 3-D image of your teeth and use it to design restorations and plan treatment procedures, which is much more comfortable and efficient for our patients.
