Waterlase
Waterlase technology combines laser energy and water into a cutting edge dental tool that works without heat, pressure or vibration. Dr. Franklin uses this laser-energized spray of water in numerous hard and soft tissue procedures including cavity preparation, removal of decay and gum recontouring. You experience less discomfort and less need for anesthetic, all while benefiting from a higher quality of care.
Digital Xrays
Digital radiographs (X-Rays) are a critical advancement in dental technology. This regularly used tool provides you with higher quality pictures while increasing your safety by exposing you to much less radiation. Unlike traditional, film-based x-rays, digital x-rays show more detail and can be archived in Dr. Franklin’s system for future reference. Benefit from a more comfortable visit with reduced waiting and faster treatment.
Diagnodent
Feel confident knowing Dr. Franklin can find the toughest cavities in their earliest stages. With Diagnodent, cavities can be detected on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, even when they are just beginning and would have been missed by previous detection methods. Diagnodent is a small, portable laser unit that detects the cavity and alerts your dental team with an audible signal and a numerical readout, providing detailed information about the cavity’s size. This revolutionary tool helps us stop cavities in their infancy before they create larger problems.
Intra Oral Camera
Do you ever wonder what exactly is going on in your mouth during dental treatments? Stop wondering and start seeing exactly what your dentist sees. By using an intra oral camera, you will have a greater understanding of your oral health and of the treatments Dr. Franklin recommends for you. You can watch while your procedure is performed on your teeth. This technology ensures you have the best education about your oral health and helps to ease any feelings of anxiety that you may feel while visiting the dentist.
Digital Photography
Digital photography images are available immediately to use in cosmetic imaging or to monitor your oral health progress. Digital images are saved electronically and show more detail than traditional photographs that must be taken off-site to be developed. Faster image availability means less waiting time and quicker treatment for you!
