Dental Technology
Providing the best possible care is important to us at Precision Dental. The innovation, high quality craftsmanship and technologies used in our office allows us to provide effective treatment while reducing time in chair and eliminating discomforts often associated with many dental procedures.
We also have noise-cancelling headphones, a television on the ceiling, and memory-foam dental chairs to give our patients the best and most gentle care possible.
Intra-Oral Camera
An intra-oral camera is a small tool that we use to show you what we are looking at inside your mouth. The camera is able to take high-quality photos of your teeth and gums, which will then be magnified and displayed on a computer monitor for you to see.
Your Fortitude Valley dentist will be able to use the image to see your teeth in greater detail, making it easier to identify potential issues. The photos will also help us to explain our diagnosis, our treatment and give you a greater understanding of any problem areas.
Digital Intra-Oral X Rays
With the use of high resolution computer screens and ultra sensitive digital X-ray sensors, we are able to review your X-rays much faster than before, in fact, instantly on screen.
Additionally, the radiation exposure is reduced by up to 90% of conventional methods (equivalent to less than 1 day of background radiation) which makes it much safer for you as well as our dental professionals.
The digital images can be magnified and displayed on a computer screen, give us a highly detailed view of your teeth, and enable us to give you a more accurate diagnosis so that we can customise an appropriate treatment plan for any issues that may be found.
Digital OPG
An OPG (Orthopantomography) is a panoramic or wide view x-ray of the lower face, which displays all the teeth of the upper and lower jaw on a single film.
It demonstrates the number, position and growth of all the teeth including those that have not yet surfaced or erupted.
It is different from the small close up intra-oral X-rays we take of individual teeth.The OPG is an invaluable tool used at Precision Dental in the diagnosis of:
Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a tool that helps us and our patients visualise and design smiles through careful analysis of our patients’ facial and dental structures using state-of-the-art videography and digital technology.
DSD is one of the most modern, patient-centred design approaches available in dentistry.
DiagnoCam
DiagnoCam is one of the latest technology in dental imagery. It is an alternative imaging method to x-rays that use pain-free lasers, tuned to a specific wavelength.
It transforms teeth into a light conductor for the early detection of decay under fillings and cavity hotspots that are not visible to the naked eye.
CEREC
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration and Esthetic Ceramics, is a dental service used to restore a damaged tooth by placing a dental crown over it.
Because they are manufactured in the dental office using computer-aided design and produced in only one office visit, CEREC crowns are also known as same-day crowns.
3D Scanner
The 3D intraoral scanner is a hand-held 3D scanning tool that is designed for next-level ergonomics, improved hygiene, and an effortless scanning experience.
Its intelligent alignment technology produces precision scans efficiently. This enables us to focus on providing the best treatment possible to our patients.
Rotary Endo
The use of engine-driven automatic Rotary Endodontic file system enhances the way root canal preparations are performed.
It enables more complicated root canal systems to be shaped and cleaned with fewer procedural errors and allows significantly reduced treatment time for you on the chair.
