Panoramic X-Rays

The panoramic x-ray gives the dentist a broad overview of the entire mouth showing the teeth, upper and lower jawbone, sinuses, and other tissues of the head and neck – all in one X-ray. Otherwise hidden or deep cavities will show up as well as gum disease.
It is also used for evaluating patients:

• with past or present TMJ or jaw joint problems
• requiring full or partial removable dentures, dental implants or braces
• who may have a tumor in the jaw
• who have impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth) or have had any recent trauma to the face or teeth (e.g. can help identify a fractured jaw)
• who cannot tolerate other types of films
  (severe gaggers)

Ultrasonic Scaling

Ultrasonic scaling is a new weapon to fight periodontal disease. The scaling device looks like a small wand with a tip that produces ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations in combination with a flow of water remove plaque, tartar and bacteria from the teeth, gums and mouth. Ultrasonic cleaning is more effective than old-fashioned methods and can remove build-up beneath the gum line and stubborn deposits.
