Digital Imaging
Dr. Hoang or Dr. Monzavi will decide which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your tooth and its supporting bone . They can also help us to examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. We utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about at least 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information regarding the pulp of the tooth.
Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them between dentists or insurance companies.
Digital X-Rays:
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.
Operating Microscopes
The introduction of the surgical microscope has revolutionized the field of endodontic treatment. We have invested in the very best quality surgical microscopes, by Global Surgical Corporation, that provide unparalleled magnification and illumination for our non-surgical and surgical procedures. We may be able to see cracks, root fractures or missing canals.
Our success depends on us being able to see the minutest of details.
