PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY... CLEANINGS
The best way to preserve optimum dental health is to maintain a sensible oral hygiene regimen. In addition to daily flossing and brushing, this includes regular dental examinations and professional cleanings. A complete oral exam can help ensure you keep your smile bright and healthy.

Digital X-rays
We use a digital x-ray system. Here are the benefits of digital x-rays:

• Safer, because the computer sensor is very sensitive, the system can use a much lower amount of radiation. In fact, it uses 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays.

• Better, because the sensor sees things conventional film might miss and the image can be magnified 300x its normal size and contrast can be adjusted to reveal things normal film might not see.

• Faster, because there is no development cycle, images are available within seconds of being taken!

• Smarter, since the system avoids using hazardous chemicals it does not produce hazardous waste either.
  
  

Digital Machine X-rays
X-rays taken with a panorex x-ray digital machine differ from other digital x-rays in that it takes a “panoramic” picture of your teeth. The machine makes an entire half-circle motion that captures an image of your entire mouth. Like digital x-rays, digital panorex x-rays reduce the amount of radiation you are exposed to (unlike standard x-rays) by up to 90 percent. Dr. Reed will determine whether or not a panorex is necessary for your treatment.

Intraoral Camera
Want to see what the dentist sees? With the Intraoral camera you can! This is a tiny digital camera that fits comfortably in your mouth and allows Dr. Reed to show you an enlarged image on a computer screen. The tip of the wand (where the camera is located) is covered with a disposable plastic sheath that keeps the procedure sterile and comfortable. This not only allows you to see what is happening in your mouth, it also documents the findings by uploading the information to a computer.
