Technology

Digital x-rays use electronic sensors to capture images instead of traditional film, reducing radiation exposure by as much as 80 percent and providing instant, high-quality images. Low-dose x-rays enhance your safety, allow faster and more precise diagnoses, and streamline your treatment.

Because the images are digital, we store them in your patient record so they're readily available to all team members. Used across many services, digital x-rays are essential for treatment planning and detecting hidden dental issues like cavities, bone loss, infections, and wisdom teeth. 

Panoramic x-rays offer a full-mouth view of all your teeth and jaws in one comprehensive image. This broad perspective is invaluable for monitoring tooth development, orthodontic planning, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, and detecting issues that may not be visible in standard x-rays. With panoramic x-rays, our team gets a complete overview of your oral health to anticipate your needs with accuracy and precision.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a leading-edge technology that provides a single 3-D scan of all your teeth, soft tissue, bone, and nerve pathways. This comprehensive view is crucial for complex procedures like dental implant planning, orthodontics, and evaluating jaw issues. CBCT technology is indispensable for ensuring precise diagnoses and crafting tailored treatment strategies, ultimately leading to superior patient outcomes and enhanced safety.

The intraoral camera is a diagnostic and educational instrument that allows you to see exactly what the dentist sees. This small, handheld device captures high-resolution images of your teeth and gums displayed on a screen for immediate review.

This visual aid is invaluable for identifying dental conditions early and enhancing communication between our team and patients. By seeing your dental health up close, you are better informed and more engaged in your treatment plans.

Rotary endodontics is a modern approach to traditional root canal therapy. Surrey Hills Dental enhances the precision and efficiency of root canal treatments by utilizing specially designed electric tools. These instruments clean and shape the canals more quickly than manual techniques, significantly reducing procedure time.

This method also tends to be more comfortable for patients, minimizing the noise and uncomfortable sensations often associated with root canal therapy. With rotary endo, our patients can expect a smoother experience and quicker recovery.

Laser dentistry revolutionizes patient care with precise, less invasive dental treatments. The focused light energy allows for shaping soft tissues with minimal bleeding, often eliminating the need for sutures. Patients experience quicker recovery times, less post-operative pain, and a reduced risk of infection. Surrey Hills Dental commonly uses laser dentistry for periodontal therapy, gum contouring, and lesion removal.

Digital records provide immediate access to your complete dental history, allowing our team to make informed decisions about your care. They facilitate seamless communication between dental professionals and ensure your treatment plan is based on the most up-to-date information. For you, this means less waiting, fewer forms, and a guarantee that digital security measures protect personal dental information.
