What Is Advanced Dental Technology?

Advanced dental technology refers to the sophisticated tools, equipment, and software that improve the diagnosis and treatment of complex dental issues. This includes state-of-the-art imaging systems, high-magnification microscopes, and specialized instruments that enable precision care and better outcomes. By integrating these innovations, we can provide the level of care you deserve—making procedures more efficient and comfortable.

Benefits of Advanced Dental Technology

Enhanced Visualization & Precision: Our advanced tools, like the ZEISS microscope, provide exceptional magnification and illumination, allowing us to see intricate details of your tooth's anatomy. This means we can address even the smallest problem areas with accuracy.
More Comprehensive Diagnosis: Technologies like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) create detailed 3D images of your teeth and surrounding structures. This reveals issues that traditional X-rays might miss, leading to more accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning.
Improved Treatment Outcomes: The combination of superior optics, advanced imaging, and specialized instruments contributes to more successful and predictable results. We can thoroughly clean and seal root canals, reducing the risk of reinfection and improving long-term success rates.
A More Comfortable Experience: Modern technology makes procedures smoother and more efficient. Integrated cameras allow us to show you what we see in real-time, helping you understand your treatment, while advanced tools let us provide minimally invasive care so you feel confident and at ease.

Why Choose APX Endodontics?

We are committed to providing the highest level of clinical care. Our practice is built on a foundation of advanced technology, evidence-based techniques, and meticulous attention to detail. From diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, every step is designed to be precise, thorough, and effective.

Our Technology – Tools That Make Treatment Better

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography): Our in-office CBCT provides advanced 3D visualization of your tooth and surrounding structures. This technology reveals details that traditional 2D X-rays can't detect, helping us see hidden details like cracks or fractures that might otherwise go undetected.
ZEISS Microscopes: High-powered surgical microscopes provide up to 25x magnification and brilliant illumination. This enhanced visualization allow for exceptional precision and improved treatment outcomes.
Fotona Laser: This advanced laser technology assists in disinfecting the complex root canal systems within your tooth. It helps us provide a more thorough cleaning than what we could do with traditional instruments alone. Thorough disinfection is essential for successful root canal treatment and long-term outcomes.
Bioceramic Sealers: We use modern biocompatible materials that create a strong, durable seal after we've cleaned your root canal system. These materials help prevent future infection and support natural healing.
Apex Locators: These electronic devices help us determine the exact length of the root canal. Using an apex locator ensures that the entire canal is cleaned accurately, which is critical for successful treatment.
Integrated Documentation & Patient Education: Our microscopes are equipped with HD cameras and video recording systems. This allows us to show you exactly what we see, helping you understand your condition and treatment, and enables seamless case

Frequently Asked Questions – Advanced Dental Technology Explained

What is a CBCT scan, and is it safe?

A CBCT scan creates a detailed 3D image of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This image is far more comprehensive than a traditional 2D dental X-ray. We take a small field of view (FOV) image that focuses specifically on the area being treated, which improves image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. The radiation from a CBCT is very low and comparable to what you'd receive during a single airplane flight. It's considered extremely safe for diagnostic purposes.

Is it possible to see a root fracture with CBCT technology?

Yes, depending on the fracture's size and location. CBCT scans are one of our most reliable tools for detecting root fractures. The 3D imaging lets us view the tooth from every angle, which often reveals cracks or fractures that standard 2D X-rays would miss entirely. We can also spot patterns of bone loss or other indicators that suggest a fracture is present, even when the fracture line itself isn't clearly visible.

Why is a microscope necessary?

Microscopes provide the magnification and illumination we need to see the intricate details inside of your tooth. This enhanced visualization helps us locate canals, identify tiny cracks, and ensure thorough cleaning. All of which are essential for treatment success. What we can see, we can treat.

How does the Fotona laser work?

The Fotona laser gives us an extra edge in disinfection. It uses SWEEPS® (Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming) technology to creates powerful photoacoustic shockwaves within the cleaning solution that penetrate deep into lateral canals and microscopic tubules, areas traditional instruments and irrigants can't reach effectively. The result? Cleaner root canals and better long-term outcomes for your tooth.

Does advanced technology make treatment more expensive?

Our investment in technology is about providing value, not increasing costs. Advanced tools often lead to more predictable outcomes and may help you avoid more complex or repeated procedures down the road. Better technology means better results, which ultimately protects your investment in your oral health.

How does technology improve my experience?

Advanced technology makes procedures more efficient, more comfortable, and less invasive. Real-time imaging and documentation help you understand exactly what's happening, integrated systems make appointments smoother, and precision tools mean we can work quickly and accurately. The result? A better experience from start to finish.

What makes APX's technology different?

We don't just have advanced technology—we know how to use it. Our team combines state-of-the-art equipment with specialized training and years of experience. That combination means you get the benefits of cutting-edge tools paired with the expertise to use them effectively.
