We are constantly striving to provide our patients with the finest dental care available. Our investment in advanced technology means a long-term investment in your future because state-of- the art technology invites informed decision making and enables patients to make wise choices concerning their oral health. Dr. Sachs offers the latest dental technology for your benefit:
Intra-Oral Camera: This camera allows us to quickly and easily photograph the inside of your mouth. The photographic image can be projected onto a color monitor. Because this magnification allows you to see your mouth more clearly, you are better able to participate in your treatment.
Digital Radiography (X-rays): This form of computerized radiography (X-rays) uses a standard dental x-ray generator as its radiation source. The color capabilities show our patients more meaningful pictures than black and white. The “zoom” capability allows our patients to view localized areas for a better understanding of their diagnosis. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure 80 -90% than normal X-rays. X-rays assist in the detection of cavities between the teeth that may not be visible in the mouth. Cavities that are just beginning can also be detected earlier on an X-ray so that your treatment becomes less invasive and costly.
Panorex: The Panorex film provides Dr. Sachs with a panoramic view of the oral cavity and provides information at a glance about existing fillings, supporting bone, sources of infection, tumors, cysts, and decay. The Panorex film shows more of the mouth and surrounding structures, but with less detail of individual teeth, than small films.
Computers: Our computer system is designed to efficiently manage the most complex information in the dental industry. Our system handles treatment and payment options. We sure our computer system takes care of the technicalities so that you are provided with the most up-to-date information available.
Implants: We have the ability to place various types of dental implants. We offer a variety of different implant systems and can perform multiple procedures on the same day. Dr. Sachs will be happy to evaluate your dental needs and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants plants.
Air Abrasion: Fine particles of a sand-like material are released under high pressure directly to a localized tooth surface. These forced air particles replace “drills” to remove decay from the tooth surface, making some procedures less invasive, more comfortable, and faster for the patient than conventional treatment. Typically, no anesthesia is required for this procedure.
Nitrous Oxide: This gas, used for patient comfort, can be used during restorative or surgical procedures. Dr. Sachs will be happy to discuss the indications for nitrous oxide use at your request.
Local Anesthesia: This anesthesia is injected into the gum tissue at or near the area to be treated, producing a numbing effect that wears off after the procedure. Most dental patients find that the use of local anesthesia allows them to experience dental treatment comfortably.
