Digital X-Rays

Getting a better look at the teeth of a patient

Digital X-rays are helping dentists get a more precise look at the teeth of patients.

With the technology becoming more common throughout the industry, digital X-rays allow a dentist to take an image of a tooth or teeth and place it in an imaging program.

Within the imaging program, tools allow the dentist to take a precise look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. Digital X-rays also produce nearly 90 percent less radiation than a standard X-ray.

Electric Handpiece

Clearing away decay with better equipment

Removing decay from teeth has never been easier or faster. With the help of the electric handpiece, most dentists are able to clear decay from teeth more quickly, greatly reducing the time patients have to be in the chair before the procedure is complete.

The electric handpiece is more efficient than its air-driven predecessor because the electric motor can spin the bur much faster, allowing the dentist to clear decay with better accuracy.

Oral Cancer Screening

We care about not just your teeth, but your oral health as well!

Riverview Dental thinks oral cancer screenings are a critical component of every visit to the dentist. Advances in modern technology make it easier to pinpoint a potential cancer symptom much earlier than in the past. That ability is important to being able to treat a potential oral cancer before it becomes an irreversible problem. An oral cancer screening is often completed with an ultraviolet light or a similar device that allows the dentist to view issues that can’t always be detected by the human eye.

The health of tissues in the mouth can also be affected by the lifestyle choices of the patient. If a patient smokes cigarettes or drinks too much alcohol, regular screenings should be scheduled with every visit. Book your appointment today with Riverview Dental. Call 860-423-5518

Rotary Endodontics

More efficient equipment quickens root canals

Imagine a root canal that is painless and stress free! OK, maybe there isn’t such a thing, but a new technology in endodontics is making the root canal experience more comfortable and efficient for the patient. Rotary endodontics involves the use of a electric-powered drill that uses a nickel titanium tip that is more flexible than traditional stainless steel files.

The root canal is a procedure where the roots or nerves of the tooth are removed. The pulp of the tooth is removed because it is infected and causing pain. Rotary endodontics utilizes an electrical handpiece that allows the dentist to perform the root canal quicker and with less discomfort for the patient.
