State Of The Art Equipment
At Buttercup Dental, we strive to achieve the ideal in modern
dentistry.
Intra-Oral Camera
The
old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" is
so true. In the past, a dentist would check your teeth
and then explain their findings in terms that were difficult
for some patients to understand. With the aid of this new
and exciting camera, the doctors and staff of Buttercup
Dental can show you exactly what they are seeing. Even
better, the image is magnified 35 times its normal size and
displayed on a flat screen monitor. This dramatically improves
our ability to diagnose small cavities, dental fractures
and leaking fillings which allows for earlier treatment
and the prevention of more serious problems. The intra-oral
camera is also great for before & after photos as well
as supporting documentation for insurance claims. You
have to see it to believe it.
Interactive Patient Education Software
MedVisor| dental ™ puts accurate three-dimensional dental animations at your fingertips to help you translate the complexities of dentistry for your patient. Incorporate your patient’s information directly into your explanation, and utilize MedVisor | dental ’s drawing and notation tools to further personalize your discussion.Your patient’s level of interest and understanding will be dramatically enhanced. MedVisor | dental ™ ushers in a new era in patient education, elevating it from a passive waiting-room pastime and supporting its importance in the patient's healthcare choices. Patients who understand their diagnoses and treatment options are more likely to make sound decisions regarding their dental health.
Surgical Telescopes
When
the doctors and hygienists work on your teeth, they will
most likely be wearing a funny looking pair of glasses. These
are actually surgical telescopes that allow them to see
and evaluate intricate details as they work. These special "glasses" help
us to make tiny but important adjustments to the procedure
that would go unnoticed with the naked eye. They are an
invaluable tool in providing the most precise, beautiful
dentistry possible.
Laser Cavity Detection
Studies
show that 50% of tooth decay goes undetected by present
diagnostic methods. The new KaVo DIAGNOdent aids in
diagnosing hidden decay more accurately and confidently.
Most tooth decay occurs in the complex anatomy on the chewing
surfaces where deep pits and grooves are difficult to keep
clean. This also makes diagnosis with traditional methods
difficult, because the outer tooth surface often appears
to be intact.
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system. It
utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect
and quantify demineralized tooth substances without x-ray
exposure. This revolutionary new device is easy to use and
turns caries detection into a harmless, measurable, more
reproducible and exacting procedure.
With DIAGNOdent the doctor will be able to make better
treatment decisions earlier, whether they call for further
watching of suspect areas to monitor changes, preventive
measures or placing a small filling. With the new KaVo
DIAGNOdent, we are able to detect the invisible.
Low Radiation Digital X-Rays
There
is an unstoppable revolution taking place in dental radiology. For
the first time in the 100-year-history of dental radiography,
an extraordinary new computer technology that surpasses
the diagnostic abilities of traditional film - and it does
so with substantially less radiation exposure for the patient
and the clinician.
This combination of computer hardware and software creates
the very best dental X-Ray image from which we can diagnose
with the utmost confidence.
