State of the Art Dental Technology

Sage Dental Centre is proud to offer state-of-the-art technology to enhance our ability to diagnose and treat our valuable patients.

Our DEXIS Digital Radiography delivers the most accurate and innovative digital imaging available in dentistry today.  The many benefits for patients include:

• Reduction of radiation exposure to up to 90% compared to conventional x-rays

• Accuracy and precision in diagnosis, ensuring the best possible treatment.

• Using our high-resolution digital radiographs and the software-based image enhancement functions such as magnification, brightness control, and heightened contrast, we can bring out aspects of the X-ray that simply aren’t visible on film

• Instant acquisition and display of radiographs provide more comfort and efficiency during appointments

• Reduction of environmental pollutants: no more films, developer and fixer solutions that are considered hazardous material

Computer technology, seamless integration between DEXIS Digital Imaging and DENTRIX Practice Management software allow our office to be virtually paperless.   Patients benefit by efficient, accurate, effective means of data collection and management during dental examinations, treatment procedures, treatment planning, consultations, insurance claims, financial transactions, scheduling of appointments, and countless other daily office functions.

Digitizing patient charts, billing, and radiography not only increases efficiency of our practice and quality of patient care, but also eliminates over 90% of the paper use associated with daily normal practices. Going paperless saves paper, time, and trees!

WATERLASE MD LASER for our periodontal surgery and restorative procedures provide comfort our patients deserve:

• More minimally invasive dentistry

• Fewer injections and numb lips

• Non-contact hard-tissue cutting eliminates heat and vibration of a drill

• Soft-tissue procedures with minimal bleeding, swelling, or post-op pain

• Reduced patient fear and anxiety

Conventional ROOT CANAL TREATMENT, its disinfection capability, safety and success rate have been somewhat controversial.  At Sage Dental Centre, we utilize ENDOLASE RFT ROOT CANAL THERAPY for superior disinfection, minimally invasive access, improved safety, greater efficiency and better long-term prognosis.

The Endolase™ RFT root canal therapy system for the Waterlase MD™ reduces bacterial counts to levels approaching sterilization.  Waterlase YSGG 2780nm laser energy penetrates deep into dentinal tubules to kill more bacteria, without subjecting patients to the potential toxicity of sodium hypochlorite solutions.

The smear layer remaining after rotary or hand instrumentation not only contains infected tissue,but can seal infection within dentinal tubules. Scanning Electron Microscopy shows how treatment with Waterlase MD™ radial firing EndoTips™ leaves canal walls free of smear layer, and opens dental tubules, allowing YSGG laser energy to penetrate and destroy bacteria.
