Technology

Modern care begins with modern dental equipment. Our dental clinic uses the latest technology to ensure comfortable and precise care. Learn more about our dental technology below.

Oceana Dental Latest Technology

Oceana Dental uses the latest dental equipment to provide you with a comfortable and efficient experience. Our modern dental office includes the following dental technology:

Digital X-Rays

Digital radiographs are the latest approach to X-rays, exposing you to much less radiation than traditional X-rays. 

X-rays allow us to see problems below the gumline as they develop, and treat them before they become too serious. We see:

  • cavities in hard-to-see spaces between your teeth
  • problems with bone loss due to gum disease
  • any abscesses or potentially cancerous growths.
  • how adult teeth are forming
  • how wisdom teeth are positioned.

Soft-tissue lasers

Soft tissue lasers improve several different dental procedures. They are much gentler than scalpels, allowing us to make smaller “cuts” that require less or no anaesthetic. Soft tissue lasers also seal blood vessels and nerves as we work, reducing the need for stitches. Laser therapy can be used in place of, or in combination with, traditional planing and scaling to treat gum disease. They can target bacteria and mineralized plaque below the gum line while leaving healthy tissue untouched.

AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master

The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master is a state-of-the-art cleaning system that provides a gentler, more effective dental hygiene experience. Using advanced piezo technology and warm water that matches your body temperature, it removes plaque (biofilm), stains, and tartar. It’s a key part of Guided Biofilm Therapy, which is a modern approach to preventing cavities and gum disease while keeping your smile healthy and fresh. Most patients find it much more comfortable than traditional cleanings.

Lightscalpel

A Lightscalpel CO2 laser is used for tongue-tie releases (also known as a frenectomy).

A laser frenectomy is the laser excision of a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents part of the body from moving too far. The CO2 laser is ideal for cutting and coagulating soft tissue during a frenectomy. The LightScalpel CO2 laser system is a valuable tool in a wide variety of soft-tissue oral laser surgery procedures, including:

  • Frenum release/frenectomy 
  • Abscess (drainage) 
  • Flap surgery 
  • Biopsy 
  • Partial glossectomy 
  • Homeostasis 
  • Crown lengthening (soft tissue)
  • Incision of infection when used with antibiotic therapy

Intraoral Camera

Our intraoral camera offers a close-up view of your teeth and gums in real time, right from the dental chair. The small, handheld device captures high-resolution images inside your mouth, helping us show you exactly what we see. We can use it to spot a cavity, tooth cracks, gum inflammation, and more. At Oceana Dental, we use this tool to educate, inform, and keep you fully involved in your treatment decisions.

iTero

Say goodbye to goopy impressions. The iTero digital scanner creates a precise 3D model of your teeth using quick, comfortable, and radiation-free scans. It’s perfect for Invisalign® planning, crowns, bridges, and other restorative treatments. We use iTero to enhance precision, improve fit, and deliver a better overall experience.
