Dental Technology at Willowbrook Dental Clinic
Technology helps us during appointments by giving our team detailed information about our patient's oral health. It plays a vital role in treatment planning and helping to keep dental appointments running smoothly.
Not only does technology help with efficiency during your appointment, but it also allows for easier communication. Technology helps us visualize treatment planning and then easily share it with you. Because we can display digital X-rays and scans on the monitors in our treatment rooms, we can show you any issues in your mouth and walk you through your treatment plan.
Our Langley dentists and team believe that providing good communication regarding your oral health plays a key role in helping you maintain long-term good oral health. Technology helps us do that.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-Rays store data in a digital format, which can be pulled up easily on the chair during your dental appointment. Digital x-rays are can give an accurate picture of your whole mouth.
Intra Oral Cameras
An intra-oral camera is a high-resolution camera that fits comfortably inside your mouth. These tiny cameras allow dentists to obtain accurate and detailed images of the inside of their patients' mouths.
Dental Lasers
Dental lasers are used in a number of dental treatments, such as gum reshaping, cavity removal, teeth whitening, and to harden the bonding materials used in fillings. They are also used to remove bacteria from periodontal pockets.
VELscope®
The dental team at Willowbrook Dental Clinic uses Velscope Enhanced Oral Assessment to spot soft-tissue abnormalities and detect oral cancer in its early stages.
