With dental technology changing consistently, it is important that we, as dentists, maintain informed and up-to-date. Housing in the practice the best technology available means we are able to enhance your experience with us, making your appointment convenient and enjoyable. Advanced technology allows us the means to clearly explain your diagnosis and show you your choices, making your treatment more efficient.

Intra-Oral Camera

An intra-oral camera allows us to see exactly what is happening in your mouth, giving us an exact indication of what needs to be treated. Additionally, that which you see, the truth is. In the event the miniature camera is getting used inside your mouth, your image is shown on a screen in the surgery so we can clearly explain the area we are looking at, any problems and what treatment is called for.

Electronic digital Radiography (X-rays)

Using digital radiography, the image is available almost instantly and the radiation levels are kept at a minimum. We are able to view smaller areas with the use of computer technology and your X-ray is stored safely for a computer file with no chance for them being misplaced. They are often printed and emailed and can be accessed easily when you need it for comparison and assessment.

Digital radiographs allow us to safely interpret should never dental condition and offer an accurate solution for your individual needs. We may take Panoral images which are necessary for diagnosing the positioning and condition of wisdom teeth and other problems in the jaws.

How often you require dental x-rays is dependent on your dental health and your age. As an adult, if you are prone to dental health conditions, then you may find you are asked to have radiographs more frequently than normal so as to closely monitor your issue in more detail.

A great X-ray will reveal much more detail than the human eye can detect, which will allow us to look for:
small instances decay between the teeth or below existing restorations (fillings)

infections inside bone
gum (gum) disease
abscesses and cysts
developmental abnormalities while using the teeth or jaws
some different types of tumours

Diagnodent

The Diagnodent can be an early decay detecting system that is fast, non-invasive and painless. It enables us to diagnose early signs of decay and possibly stop this from further developing thereby saving you from requiring a restoration.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide, and laughing gas, may be used for over 100 years to create a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing during dental treatment. That gas is inhaled through a small hood placed above the nose. Recovery from nitrous oxide will take only 10 - 20 minutes with no lasting side effects. It's safe for children together with adults.
