Digital Imaging

Gilbreth Endodontics carefully chooses which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Gilbreth Endodontics utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 90 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Digital X-Rays:

Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.

3d Imaging

Detailed imaging is invaluable for proprer diagnosis and aids in proficient treatment. We utilize cone-beam computed tomography at a very high resolution, up to 75 microns over a relatively small area. This provides more detail than a traditional whole mouth 3D scan. These detailed images help us visualize complex anatomies and hard to find canals. We also use 3D imaging to evaluate your tooth for root fractures and diagnose other endodontic pathology. A recent study demonstrated that 3D imaging changed dental treatment recommendations 69% of the time.

Surgical Microscopes

The introduction of the surgical microscope has revolutionized the field of Endodontic Microsurgery. We have invested in the very best quality surgical microscopes, by Carl Zeiss, that provide unparalleled magnification and illumination for our surgical procedures. Our success depends on us being able to see the minutest of details – you cannot treat what you cannot see. 

Gentlewave Procedure 

The GentleWave Procedure is a modern way to treat root canal infections that offers high-tech, effective cleaning designed to reach the most complex tooth anatomies where bacteria can
hide. Through a minimally invasive process, the GentleWave Procedure uses unique fluid delivery into the tooth to clean and disinfect with a proprietary mix of multisonic energy and vortical flow in a precise manner that allows the tooth structure to maintain its natural functionality
and strength.
