Our Technology
We utilize leading technology to provide safe and efficient dental treatments. Depending on your needs, Dr. Suway or one of our professional dental team members may use one or more of the following devices in your next appointment:
Panoramic X-rays
Through the use of digital, panoramic x-rays, Dr. Suway can detect such problems as a bone abscess or an impacted tooth. He is also able to monitor the condition of past procedures, such as a root canal or filling. The advanced x-ray system proves to be safer, as it emits significantly less radiation than traditional x-ray technology. It is also faster, eliminating the need for the development of special film. Since the information is taken digitally, results can be seen almost instantaneously, which ultimately speeds up the treatment process.
DIAGNOdent Laser
The DIAGNOdent Laser allows Dr. Suway to screen for early signs of tooth decay that may not be noticeable in a visual oral examination. The technology offers highly accurate detection, finding even the smallest cavities. Dr. Suway will direct the handheld device into the mouth, sending laser energy into each tooth and revealing its health. If decay is present, the device will sound an alarm, signaling the need for treatment. The DIAGNOdent Laser proves to be a useful tool for detecting decay internally before it has the chance to surface.
Intraoral Cameras
The tiny, digital intraoral camera offers an up-close view of your mouth, which is displayed on a monitor through a live feed. Dr. Suway will go through the video with you to discuss any issues should they arise. It is a great diagnostic tool and helps patients understand the current state of their dental health. The video is saved for future reference, allowing you to obtain a copy if needed. We can also send the video to your insurance company for procedure verification.
TMJ Doppler Unit
If you suffer from TMJ Disorder, sounds such as popping, cracking, and scratching in your jaw can help Dr. Suway determine the cause and severity of the condition. Dr. Suway utilizes the TMJ Doppler unit to listen to these irregular sounds and recommend a proper treatment that can help reduce the symptoms of TMJ Disorder.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease can become cause serious damage to your teeth and gums, and even increase risks to your overall health if not properly treated in its early stages. With the use of a laser instrument, Dr. Suway can address mild to intermediate gum disease before it becomes a severe problem. The laser energy is designed to effectively and painlessly treat soft tissues in the mouth. Dr. Suway will direct the device between your gums and teeth, where the laser can reach the deep pockets where bacteria can live. The special light kills bacteria that can cause periodontal disease, working to prevent the condition from progressing further.
