CAESY - http://www.caesyonline.com/ - CAESY was developed in 1993 to educate patients in the office. This is an award-winning multimedia system that
provides information on preventative, restorative and esthetic treatment options. 3D images and video help to inform
the patient in the operatory about different dental treatments including brushing and flossing techniques, veneers, bleaching,
etc. This helps patients to understand and to even visualize treatment.
CEREC - http://www.cereconline.com/ - CAD/CAM technologies have more recently been integrated in several areas including dentistry. With the use of a computer
and digital imaging, the CEREC system and the dentist can create a porcelain restoration in only one visit. This system designs
and fabricates a beautiful and lasting restoration without the need for a temporary.
Invisalign -
http://www.invisalign.com/ - For years patients have been interested in straightening their teeth but have been too embarrassed to wear braces. Now,
Invisalign is the clear way to adjust crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth. A series of custom trays are created, that over time,
will re-align your teeth while being virtually invisible compared to traditional metal wires and brackets. Patients have an
easy time speaking with these aligners and also can take them out when eating or drinking allowing for more thorough brushing
and flossing. Invisalign Express is available to certain patients that are not considered comprehensive cases. Express
treatment cases can often be done in under 6 months.
Kinetic Cavity Preparation (KCP) - www.americanmedicaltech.com/dental_division- Using air abrasion (or drill-less dentistry) often requires no anesthetic. The KCP delivers a microscopically fine
powder carried to the tooth by a stream of compressed air, gently spraying away decay. There is no whining sound of the traditional
drill, no vibrations, less time in the chair, and usually no anesthetic is needed. The KCP allows for early intervention and
conservation of healthy tooth structure.
Lumineers - http://www.lumineers.com/ - As seen on T.V., Lumineers are porcelain veneers fabricated by Cerinate Studios. These veneers are contact lens
thin and can often be placed with no anesthetic. They are also clinically proven to last over 20 years. Imagine aligning
your teeth and whitening your smile permanently in only 2-3 visits.
Patterson Eagle Soft (Paperless office)
-http://patterson.eaglesoft.net/index.htm - Every area of business uses computers to help organize and store information. Computers are now replacing paper charts
making both medical and dental offices paperless. Eagle Soft Dental Software helps run a successful dental practice by
managing all front-office, clinical and imaging procedures using a single patient record. This software is available behind
the front desk and in every operatory so that all information about you and your dental health care is available at the touch
of a button. Whether the dentist needs to evaluate radiographs or the front office needs to check your account, everything
is stored and backed-up daily with Eagle Soft.
Rembandt Sapphire Light - http://www.rembrandt.com/ - The Sapphire Light is a Plasma Arc Light (PAC) that was developed by Rembrandt to improve in-office bleaching. It
is a lightening system that is clinically proven to make teeth 10 shades whiter. It has also been shown to reduce post-treatment
sensitivity.
Schick Digital Radiographs - www.schicktech.com/ - With Digital Radiography, there is a 90 percent reduction in the amount of radiation needed. These radiographs also
take less time and the radiographs appear instantly on our in-operatory computers. This allows for quicker diagnosis
by the doctor and quicker treatment for the patient.
SybronEndo Instrumentation - www.sybronendo.com/index/sybronendo - Endodontic rotary instrumentation is a modern way to perform root canals. As opposed to small files used to clean
out the canals, rotary instrumentation is a system that allows for faster measurements to be made and better cleansing of
canals through a handpiece. This allows for faster root canal treatments and a better prognosis.
