What Technology Do You Use in Your Office?
At Northwest Endodontics, we are fully committed to providing our patients with the highest quality endodontic care possible. For this reason, we ensure our office is fully equipped with the latest tools and technology that enable our endodontists to offer the best treatments available. Some of the diagnostic and treatment technology available in our office includes:
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scan
Sometimes referred to simply as a CT scan, cone-beam computed tomography is an advanced diagnostic imaging tool that uses cone-shaped X-ray beams to scan and produce three-dimensional images of a patient’s internal maxillofacial structures. CT scans are an integral part of patient diagnostics, treatment planning and execution.
Microscopic Endodontics
We’re proud to offer our patients modern treatment with microscopic endodontics. During these treatments, our endodontists use high-powered optical devices that provide us with a magnified view of the treatment site. This allows us to treat oral structures such as dental pulp and supportive tissues with an incredibly high degree of precision.
ROOT ZX Apex Locator
This fully automated treatment tool provides our endodontists with impressively accurate vertical measurements of the root canal length in all canal conditions – including in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, saliva, blood, and/or tooth pulp. Using this patented technology, our endodontists can measure with up to 97.5% accuracy the length of a patient’s root canal, enabling us to remove infected pulp tissues.
