Technology at the clinic
​
Modern endodontic treatment requires modern equipment. Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology to allow better treatment diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment delivery.
​
Cone beam CT scanner
​
Our clinic is equipped with a 'state of the art' scanner which allows three dimensional x-rays to be taken of a tooth and supporting structures. This gives us a much more accurate picture of the condition of your tooth when compared to a conventional flat x-ray image.
​
​
Operating microscope
​
Our clinic is equipped with two operating microscopes which allows magnification and illumination of the tooth during treatment. The structures inside a tooth can be tiny and failure to clean the entire space within a tooth can lead to failure of the procedure. The microscope allows the inside of a tooth to be visualised clearly giving better treatment outcomes.
​
Digital Radiographs and digital tooth length measurements
​
Digital x-ray systems can reduce the x-ray dose compared to conventional x-rays significantly. They also produce an image of the tooth instantly which reduces treatment times. Our digital apex locators are devices which accurately measure the length of a tooth so we can ensure that the entire space in a tooth is cleaned, without cleaning beyond the end of the tooth.
​
Nickel Titanium Instruments
​
We use extremely flexible endodontic files with specialised torque controlled endodontic motors which allows the inside of a tooth to be carefully shaped. Our files are all used only once before being replaced to ensure they are completely clean and to reduce the risk of them breaking.
​
Central decontamination suite
​
All the equipment we use is sterilised according to the highest standards in the decontamination suite within the clinic.
