Embracing technologies that enhance the practice of endodontics
We take pride in being at the forefront of technological innovation in our field. Our commitment to excellence means that we embrace new tools and techniques as they become available. By doing so, we can provide you with the best possible treatment options to fit your unique needs. These are the technologies we use at East County Endodontics:
Microscopes and Imaging
The use of specialized dental operating microscopes means that the doctor is able to get a detailed look at the work they are doing during all phases of your endodontic treatment. Dr. Sarshar at East County Endodontics utilizes advanced dental operating microscopes, providing unparalleled precision and accuracy in all stages of endodontic treatment, allowing for improved diagnosis and potential treatment outcomes.
Cone Beam Scanner
At East County Endodontics, we offer advanced Cone Beam technology to provide our patients with a digital tomographic 3D view of their area of interest. Unlike traditional two-dimensional x-rays, Cone Beam systems enable our doctors to obtain a full 360-degree view of the tooth and surrounding areas, resulting in a nearly limitless view of the teeth while using less radiation than traditional medical CT technology. This fast, simple, and painless new technology provides many wonderful benefits that were unavailable only a few years ago. Experience the benefits of our state-of-the-art technology and schedule an appointment today.
Digital X-Ray
Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a very green technology. By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!
Electronic Apex Locator
This device is used to obtain the proper length of the root canal, from which the doctor can determine the position of the file relative to the apex of the root. This can help ensure that the canal is completely free of debris, reducing potential future complications.
Ultrasonic Handpieces
Ultrasonic instruments use ultrasonic energy during endodontic procedures to allow greater precision and accuracy, without requiring invasive measures. They are used to remove harmful bacteria within the root canal and aid in the location of calcifies.
