Microscopes in Dentistry – Accurate, Less Invasive Treatment Catches Problems When They Are Small

From the very beginning, Dr. Bielawski's practice has focused on three key philosophies: prevention, early diagnosis, and minimally invasive intervention whenever possible. The most important tool in her technological arsenal is therefore the dental microscope. 

Less than 1% of general dentists in the U.S. use the dental microscope, which provides much stronger magnification than that of simple dental loupes. The increased precision in turn offers a higher level of confidence that, for example, a tiny spot of decay is caught early, before it becomes a full-fledged cavity; all decay has been removed during treatment; a tiny crevice can be addressed before it becomes a full crack; and cosmetic results will appear flawless. Small problems are often much easier, far less invasive to treat, and less costly to the patient. More healthy tooth structure can be preserved, and tooth strength is significantly increased. Even better? Patients benefit from less postoperative discomfort, faster healing, and better results.

Patient Education for Treatment Information

If you need a dental treatment you are not familiar with, you will have questions about it. We take the time to answer your questions, and we also provide a comprehensive education tool that gives even more details about a procedure. With the CAESY™ patient information program, you can find out everything you need to know from a basic restoration to cosmetic improvements and everything in between. This will let you understand what the procedure entails and let you feel comfortable with the treatment before any work begins.

Beyond Clean

When we use the Piezo Scaler™ to clean patients' teeth, we hear them comment that their teeth have never felt so clean! This advancement for scaling teeth is a high-frequency tool that removes any build-up on teeth easily and faster than any other scaling tool. It even effectively cleans the deep pockets in gum tissue. Best of all, patients like that there is very little or no discomfort from the treatment.

Are Drilling or Shots Necessary?

With today's advancements in dental technology, drilling and shots may not be necessary for a procedure. One of the most remarkable advancements in modern dentistry is air abrasion. It can replace the use of a conventional drill in certain procedures. It provides a stream of minute particles that gently mist the decay away. It does not produce any painful sensation, so little to no anesthesia is required. For most treatments, you can forget about any drilling or receiving a shot!

Technology That Lets You Take Part in Your Dental Decisions

Dr. Bielawski wants you to participate in your dental care, and with the use of the intra-oral camera, you can become involved. With this high-tech video camera, you can see for yourself what needs to be done. It provides a detailed image of the problem areas, so you know exactly why a tooth or teeth need a certain treatment.
