Yes we have them. And we use them too! All the time! You need them these days to deliver top quality dentistry. But it's the people in our team & not the gadgets that make us special. However, if you really want to see them here is a small selection of what we have;
CEREC- For the technically minded, this is a CAD CAM porcelain milling unit. This means that the dentist designs your crown, the machine cuts it out of a porcelain block & you can have it in your tooth straight away. No more second appointments, no more waiting & hoping that the temporary filling or crown will last & not fall out at the most embarrassing time possible. In one visit you can now have a high quality porcelain restoration.
K7- This is the one piece of high tech machinery that even Karen can't live without. With this machine we can tell more about your jaw & muscles than you ever dreamed a dentist would want to know. With the help of this machine, we can make sure that we place your bite where your muscles & teeth will work together to help you chew with a maximum of comfort & efficiency.
Diode Laser - If you really want to know how we do minor soft tissue surgery, (i.e. changing the shape of your gums etc), this is it! Actually it's not a bad little gadget. It makes all the difference to your smile.
Digital Camera - Well we use this all the time, at least Russell does; Karen gets Louise & Renee to take photos for her.
Rotary Endo/Endosonic/Apex Locator - These are just to prove that Monica is really serious about getting root canals well cleaned out. Seriously though, they all help to increase success & decrease the time needed for root canal therapy, which has to be a good thing.
Pharyngometer- Another big word! Put simply, a pharyngometer is a machine that measures how well you can breathe. And if you can't breathe well enough, it tells us where the problem is. Its real name is a pharyngometer/rhinometer. That means that it measures how well you can breathe both through your nose & your mouth. We use it to check that changing your bite is good for your airway, and to determine whether a jaw repositioner will help you if you suffer from sleep aponea.
It's just another example of the way that we try to do more for you at McCloy Dental.
