DENTAL (SURGICAL) OPERATING MICROSCOPE:
This technology has forever changed the delivery of endodontic care. The magnification and illumination this technology offers allows us to see the anatomy within the tooth in a way that is simply not possible with the naked eye. Every treatment delivered in our office utilizes this necessary piece of equipment. Our pracitce is one of the only in Louisiana where the dental assistants also work through the microscope. This enhances the way our team works and ability to provide our patients the best possible treatment. We feel that the should be the standard of care for all procedures performed by an endodontist.
CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT):
Historically, dentists and endodontists have had to rely exclusively on 2-D radiographs to evaluate patients. While this has been and continues to be adequate in most cases, the Cone Beam Computed Tomography gives us the ability to literally evaluate the teeth and surrounding tissue in 3 dimensions. This is invaluable, especially when treating the difficult cases seen in a specialist's office. These high resolution images can be obtained quickly in our office and are achievable with very low radiation to the patient.
