At Western Smiles Dental Care, we value technology because it helps our dentists provide more accurate diagnoses and streamlined care. It can also provide our patients with a more comfortable experience in the dental chair.
Our entire team is committed to continuing education and staying abreast of the latest in modern dentistry. We want to help you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your oral health and recommended dental procedures.
Here are some of the ways we incorporate leading-edge technology in our Mirrabooka, WA, dental clinic.
Digital Panoramic X-Rays
Digital panoramic OPG x-rays and intra-oral x-rays offer high resolution and immediate on-screen viewing in the dental surgery. But what does this mean for patients?
It means that when you come in twice a year for your examination, we can see things that are not visible to the naked eye. We can view dental problems before they have even reached the surface of the tooth. Because of this, we can often provide less invasive treatments to patients. It also usually means many patients will spend less time in the dental chair.
High-Definition Digital Photography
High-definition digital intra-oral camera produces digitalisation of dental conditions allowing another dimension to communicate to your dentist what is happening in your mouth. Also, this type of high-def photography can enable you to see on the screen what your dentist is seeing, which may enhance one's dental knowledge and increases one's understanding of treatment recommendations.
3Shape TRIOS® Intraoral Scanner
Providing yet another way for your dentist to gather information about your oral health and share it with you in real time, the TRIOS treatment plans can even be shared to an app on your phone and tablets. This can be useful when it comes to understanding recommendations and making the best decision for your oral health.
In-Surgery Computer Screens
These computer screens can allow patient to view x-rays and other digital images. We believe this can help with patient understanding so they can make educated decisions about their oral care.
In-Chair Entertainment
When you are in our dental clinic, we want you to be as comfortable as possible. Many of our patients appreciate the in-chair entertainment we provide. We hope our in-clinic entertainment offers comfort and relaxation during your treatment, and you can watch DVDs or listen to music on our Sonos® Sound System and wireless headphones. We believe that going to the dentist does not have to be an unpleasant experience.
