Technology

State-of-the-art equipment such as digital radiography and clinical photography, surgical operating microscope, and cone beam CT scan are utilized in our office.  These technologies benefit the patient in many ways, including reduced treatment time, reduced exposure to x-rays and enhanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities.  The digital radiographs and microscopic photographs can be displayed on monitors situated conveniently for viewing by the patient.  This chair side visualization is a valuable aid, enhancing the patient's understanding of the problems associated with their tooth.  As a result, patients feel more informed and confident.  

MiCROSCOPIC ENDODONTICS

At University Pointe Endodontics we strive to stay on the cutting edge of endodontic technology.  Every treatment is performed under a dental microscope which allows for unparalleled vision of the inside of the tooth.   Advances in magnification, provided by the microscope, now enable us to work with greater accuracy, efficiency, and predictability; successfully treating teeth once considered to be hopeless. At such high levels of magnification (up to 30X), the microscope allows us to see the smallest detail inside the tooth and quite a way down into the root canals, simplifying the most difficult of endodontic procedures.

Limited Field Cone Beam Scan

While most treatment can be accomplished with conventional dental radiography, sometimes the need comes to take a three dimensional image.  With our cone beam CT (CBCT) scan we can obtain a three dimensional image that will improve treatment outcomes on difficult cases.
