Advanced Dental Technology
Intra-oral Camera
"See EXACTLY what the dentist sees!" Dr. Van Guilder has invested in an amazing new technology, the intra-oral camera, that allows her patients to see what she sees inside their mouths during exams. It is sometimes difficult for patients to understand the need for care or home maintenance when they can't see it for themselves. Our patients can see on our computer monitors what the dentist sees so they can understand our treatment recommendations."
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-Rays. "We offer digital X-rays, a new technology that allows us to use less radiation and be more environmentally friendly by not using developer chemicals. As a patient you can see your X-rays right after they are taken on our computer monitors and Dr. Van Guilder can then easily explain what she sees in the X-Rays to you. You no longer need to be mystified by small film that you can't understand, all while being green".
Diagnodent
"The Diagnodent is a laser scanner that can find cavities years earlier than ever before! No painful poking or prodding involved. Dr. Van Guilder uses this amazing tool in support of her commitment to keeping her patients healthy and costs down. Decay can be detected before it spreads within the tooth allowing us to preventively take care of the cavity before the tooth becomes sensitive and painful."
The Wand
The Wand "Dr. Van Guilder uses an amazing tool called the Wand to deliver anesthesia when necessary. The Wand makes this usually painful procedure virtually pain free. The most common comments Dr. Van Guilder gets when using this technology are: "I didn't even feel it when you got me numb", "That is the best injection i've ever received at a dentist office", and "It didn't even feel like a needle".
