DIAGNODENT

The Diagnodent is a high-tech Laser Fluorescence Caries (cavity) Detection Aid. It measures the density of the tooth structure to find decay at an early stage. This often allows us to treat the problem in a less-invasive and less stressful way. It uses light energy versus radiation with no danger posed to the patient or staff.

INHALATION SEDATION (LAUGHING GAS)

For the benefit of anxious patients, we have available Nitrous Oxide Conscious Sedation (also known as Laughing Gas). Nitrous oxide sedation can transform adults and children with dental anxieties into comfortable and relaxed patients. Nitrous oxide has helped millions of people overcome their fears. It is safe, effective and the most trusted of all dental relaxation techniques.

DIGITAL DENTAL X-RAYS

Dr. Sternberg uses digital dental X-Rays to provide even better dental care and more accurate diagnoses. The process of digitally capturing an image is much faster, safer and more comfortable for the patient.

How Digital Dental X-Rays Work

We place a small sensor in your mouth. The sensor is connected to a computer by a thin wire. Next, an X-Ray beam is sent through your teeth (at a much lower intensity than is required by conventional techniques) and into the sensor, which records the image and sends it to the computer.

Why Digital X-Rays Are Better

The digital dental X-Ray system is more sensitive than conventional film systems, so your exposure to X-Rays is cut by as much as 90 percent. The large and enhanced images let you see what the dentist sees, so it’s easier for you to understand any necessary treatment. With no chemicals or film to dispose of there is no polluting the environment. Your dental checkups take less time, and it’s fun to watch the system work.

WHITENING TEETH

When teeth are in good condition but are darker than desired, whitening is the answer. Discolored teeth can be quickly and easily restored to beauty with various techniques. Cosmetic tooth whitening or “bleaching” teeth can be performed in our office or at home.

AT-HOME TOOTH WHITENING

This procedure involves taking an impression of your teeth and fabricating custom bleaching trays. Once they are complete, the home bleaching gel, the trays and instructions for use are given. Whitening occurs when you wear the trays, with the gel, for as little as 1 hour a day for 2 weeks. You may continue the treatment for longer to get even better results. This procedure is safer, with less sensitivity, and much more effective than over-the-counter remedies.

ZOOM! II TOOTH WHITENING

The Zoom! In-Office Whitening System is one of the most effective tooth whitening systems available. Zoom! is safe, fast and convenient. In our office we are using the newest, most advanced system available – Zoom! II.
