Diagnostic Tools
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent reflects light through the enamel and other tooth structures to detect decay. This laser diagnostic tool can read & detect the very early stages of decay on teeth and around fillings that may not even show up on an x-ray. This makes it possible to remove decay at a very early stage, preventing large cavities and loss of tooth structure.
The DIAGNOdent is completely painless
and, while not eliminating the need for x-rays altogether (we cannot detect cavities between the teeth or under fillings with it), the DIAGNOdent, along with the intra-oral camera, can reduce the number of x-rays needed for cavity detection. You'll be amazed at the accuracy of this new device!
Exan Practice Management Software
Comprehensive & integrated treatment records
Exan 4.0 Power practice is a premier dental software program that allows all aspects of your treatment history and care to be integrated efficiently and confidentially in one place.
Your treatment records and xrays are stored on the software, eliminating cumbersome paper charts and traditional exposure x-rays. We can now effectively run our practice without a paper chart!
J-5 Myomonitor
The J-5 Myomonitor is like a massage for your muscles that allows us to relax fatigued muscles and determine their optimal resting place.
By using this device, we can massage the sore, tired, spasming muscles surrounding the mouth and jaw and putting them at physiologic rest. This helps our guests who have "problem" bites by placing them into more comfortable, relaxed position . This especially helps our patients who have TMJ/TMD problems.
K7 Evaluation System
The K7 is a computer that analyzes the way your jaws move, reads muscle activity levels, and records any noises your jaw joints make - all in conjunction with the J5 Myomonitor TENS. The K7 helps us to determine your optimal bite, a position in which the jaw joints & muscles are relaxed & comfortable.
Finding this optimal position may help us to eliminate or alleviate symptoms such as migraine headaches, neck & muscle pain, grinding & clenching of the jaw. See the TMD section of our website to learn more about this exciting technology and how can help improve our guest's lives.
Loupes
Loupes allow even the smallest of details to be seen ...
Worn by Dr Babin, these magnification glasses make the smallest details of your teeth and gums visible. Because dentistry is a very precise science being performed in the smallest of spaces (your mouth!), magnification allows for more controlled, and meticulous results. For today's complex procedures, magnification is a must.
