Advanced Dental Technology – Independence, MO
Advanced Technology for Safe, Comfortable Dental Visits
We understand the importance of providing thorough pediatric dental care without drawing the visit out so long that your child becomes uncomfortable or antsy, which is why our office is equipped with the latest, most reliable dental technology in Independence. To make examining their teeth and gums as fast and reliable as possible, we utilize our digital X-ray imaging device as well as intraoral cameras at each of their dental checkups.
Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral cameras are small, handheld devices with lenses at the tip of them that we can wave around their mouth to see hard-to-reach areas more clearly. The footage is displayed on a large chairside monitor, allowing us to show you and your child what exactly we’re looking at and how it can be treated. It also helps us spot the earliest signs of common oral health problems that may otherwise be difficult to see, like decay and dental damage.
All-Digital Dental X-Rays
In the past, dentists would use film X-rays to be able to view issues and developments happening below the gumline, like erupting teeth. Not only would these take longer to capture and develop and weren’t as detailed, but they also exposed patients to higher amounts of radiation. Today, we use safer, more streamlined digital imaging that’s immediately viewable to your child’s dentist and reduces radiation exposure by up to 80%.
