Advanced Technology

Cone Beam CT

Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art, small volume cone-beam CT (computed tomography) technology that provides highly accurate, 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of endodontic disease. This allows three-dimensional visualization of teeth, bone, sinuses and surrounding structures with minimal radiation to the patient, enabling a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies (regular dental x-rays). With the addition of cone-beam CT technology to our office, our practice is committed to providing innovative, high-quality, patient care.

Digital Imaging

Downtown Endodontics carefully chooses which and when digital images are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Dental images allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. 

Digital images are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Downtown Endodontics utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, radiation and exposure time is about 90 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. 

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to your referring dentist or insurance companies.

“Laser-dontics”

Patients treated with Waterlase typically recover quicker and report less pain.

Lasers in Endodontics is one of the most advanced dental treatments available today.  We are the only endodontic clinic in the Tampa Bay region using the Waterlase technology.  Waterlase uses a patented technology that combines focused light energy with a stream of water for a more precise, faster and gentle dental experience than traditional endodontic therapy.  Delivering laser energy in a 360-degree cone within the canal, Waterlase has a dramatic and positive impact on results. 

Waterlase Endodontics is minimally invasive with greater efficacy, and more promising long-term results helping to reduce retreatment risk.  It can effectively fight endodontic infection and can perform disinfection and cleaning, open dentinal tubules, decontamination prior to obturation, pulpotomy and pulp extirpation, and smear layer removal in the canal.  It is a more holistic approach as it cleans deeply into the dentinal tubules, killing bacteria and decreasing reliance on harsh chemical medicaments.

Gentler with faster healing, less pain, and reduced amount of post-operative medications.  Laser-dontics.

Surgical Microscopes

The introduction of the surgical microscope has revolutionized the field of Endodontics. We have invested in the very best quality surgical microscopes, by Carl Zeiss, that provide unparalleled magnification and illumination for our endodontic procedures.

Our success depends on us being able to see the minutest of details – you cannot treat what you cannot see. In addition, we have incorporated the latest high-definition video allowing us to record our procedures with unequalled clarity and detail.
