We are always adding technology to make you feel more comfortable, to give you a better picture of what is going on in your mouth and to help you feel more comfortable.
With more than 36% of the population having some fears about going to the dentist, Dr. Paris goes out of his way to have your appointment go smoothly. For example, you might want to watch a show on our screens to help a dental appointment pass more quickly. Some of our patients enjoy being distracted with music, a cartoon or sitcom to make them relax, giggle, or even getting tips on new places to eat or shows to see from Dr. Paris. You can even bring your own music on your phone and earbuds, if it would help you feel at ease. We offer sunglasses to keep the bright lights out of your eyes. We even have music options to make your visit more pleasant. Our digital x-rays give you far less radiation and provide us with a much clearer picture of your mouth, which means we can be less invasive in our treatments. If there is anything else we can do to make your experience better, just let us know.
What kind of x-rays do you use?
Some people are concerned about their exposure to radiation during dental x-rays. This is understandable because some medical x-rays – especially older film based units have relatively high radiation outputs. We do not use those. To improve your quality of care, we have invested in a new, more precise way of looking into your mouth. Advantages of digital x-rays include an 80 percent reduction in radiation and more over traditional dental x-rays, incredible precision, and a nearly instantaneous image that can be reproduced any number of times for insurance or referral purposes.
Dr. Paris is always adding technology to make you more comfortable and take any fear he can out of dentistry. A innovative high-tech addition to the our patient services is the Digital Panorex X-Ray Machine. The system uses the very latest in laser technology to take well-defined, high-quality images with maximum magnification and image consistency.
This gives us a wildly accurate view of your entire upper and lower jaw, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), nasal sinuses and their surrounding bone, as well as the mandibular nerve. Not only does this mean we can be more precise, it means we can use less radiation, know exactly where to work offering you more comfort and shorter visits.
Digital Panorex x-ray machines give us a much more accurate view of your mouth, and more precise diagnosis improves outcomes.
