WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE DENTAL
SERVICES THAT PATIENTS NEED & DESERVE
We know visiting the dentist can sometimes be stressful, but because we strive to ensure every patient is as relaxed as possible, we accomplish this with a friendly environment and a friendly team of dental professionals using dental technology every day. Dentistry is an ever-evolving industry, and at our Hamilton Mountain Dental Office, we love to use dental technologies to care for our patients now and for years to come.
CEREC CAM
CEREC stands for Chairside Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics, which means we can make same-day restorations on your crowns. This saves valuable time for our patients and allows for lab restorations on broken, cracked or chipped crowns no matter the material. Porcelain and ceramic are the most popular materials, but we’ll always discuss which material is the best option for you and help you make an informed decision.
IRIS DIGITAL DOC CAMERA
This little camera allows us to comfortably check for any abnormalities in your teeth, like early signs of cavities or fractures. The attached light illuminates any impurities in x-rays so we can get to the bottom of any issue as quickly and efficiently as possible
iTero®* SCANNER
These scanners play a vital role in our ability to show patients how their smile is improving or which areas need improvement. They’re any dentist’s best friend. They also happen to go hand-in-hand with patients wearing InvisalignⓇ* clear aligners to repair overbites, underbites, gaps, etc. You’ll be able to see just how precisely your treatment is progressing.
LIGHTSCALPEL C02 LASER
This tool is an amazing, flexible, powerful surgical laser that looks and feels almost like a pen! It can assist us with patients who require gum tissue removal/gum preparation, periodontal disease treatment, etc., all while reducing bleeding and swelling, allowing for a great patient experience.
SHICK 33 HUGHES X-RAY
Since we’re passionate about our patients in our office, we’ve stocked up on Shick 33 Hughes x-rays that are safer, quicker, and reliable in producing images of your teeth while reducing your risk of radiation. X-rays are an important part of your dental exams to determine the state of your teeth or catching potential issues early.
SOLAR DIODE LASER
Laser dentistry can drastically improve procedures revolving around gum surgery/reshaping, root canals, removing decay and treating early signs of periodontal disease. They’re a great way to improve the patient experience too as they decrease levels of discomfort, swelling, and bleeding.
T-SCAN OCCLUSAL TECH
The T-SCAN measures things like your bite force and the location of which you need more care. They help us receive both 2-D and 3-D views of your bite force and be able to show you precisely where we need to improve, like your jaw, dental arch size, the position of teeth, and more. The T-SCAN is a great tool to help us determine the path of treatment.
VELSCOPE
During an oral examination, we’ll use the VELscope tool to identify potential issues like oral cancer, oral mucosal diseases, or any other abnormalities that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The VELscope uses a safe and efficient blue light by illuminating oral cavities so we can see any changes in the structure/tissue. Oral cancer screening should begin once a patient turns 18.
ZEISS MICROSCOPE
This microscope allows us to treat patients so we can offer same-day restorations. With improved lighting and colour balance and magnifying abilities, our patients are grateful for this technology as much as we are to use it!
