Dental Technology

In today’s digital age, the field of dentistry has witnessed remarkable advancements, particularly in diagnostic imaging and isolation.  East Hills Dental Clinic in Calgary embraces these technologies to deliver superior care to its patients.

What are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays are advanced imaging techniques that replace traditional X-ray film with digital sensors. This technology allows for faster image acquisition, lower radiation doses, and easier storage and sharing of images compared to conventional X-rays. They are widely used in medical and dental settings to diagnose various conditions and injuries.

Advantages of Digital X-Rays

Reduced Radiation Exposure

Digital x-rays use advanced sensors to produce detailed images with minimal radiation, prioritizing patient safety and reflecting the clinic’s dedication to cutting-edge dental technology. The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of dental x-rays with a digital sensor  is equivalent to that which a person receives in a single day from natural sources.

Enhanced Image Quality

Digital x-ray systems produce high-resolution images that allow dentists to visualize intricate details of oral structures with exceptional clarity. This improved image quality enables more accurate diagnoses of dental issues, facilitating targeted treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Improved Workflow Efficiency

Digital x-rays streamline diagnosis by eliminating film processing and manual development, saving time for patients and staff. Instant image acquisition and digital storage enable seamless access to patient records, enhancing clinic workflow efficiency. It also allows for easy transfer of radiograph to other dental professionals.

What is Digital Charting?

Digital charting is a method of recording and managing patient information electronically rather than using traditional paper charts. It stores data like medical history and treatment plans using specialized software. At East Hills dental we leverage digital charting to streamline administrative tasks and improve patient care. With our software we are also able to communicate with you through two-way text-messaging and email.  Existing patients are also able to book their dental hygiene visits electronically.

Dry Shield Isolation System:

Instead of using a Rubber Dam for isolation during Dental Procedure we have upgraded to using the Dry Shield Isolation System.  The Dry Sheid is an advanced dental tool designed to enhance the efficiency and comfort of dental procedures.  It helps keep your mouth open during dental treatment.  It also helps retract your tongue and cheek, as well as protect your airway.  The Dry shield eliminates the need for constant spitting by continuously removing liquid keeping the mouth dry and preventing saliva contamination.

Benefits of the Dry Shield Isolation System

  1. Improved Procedure Efficiency: no need to place a rubber dam,
  2. Enhanced Patient Comfort: The built-in bite block provides a stable and comfortable platform for patients to rest their jaws. There are a range of sizes to fit everyone.
  3. Time-Saving: Streamlines procedures, leading to shorter appointment times
