Identafi®
Your dentist, on the front line of detection, has a revolutionary new medical device called Identafi that uses multi-spectral technology to identify biochemical and morphological changes in the cells of your mouth, throat, tongue and tonsils. These changes are subtle, as they happen at the cellular level, and therefore often go undetected by the naked eye. These changes are made visible through the use of Identafi’s unique three-wavelength technology, which illuminates possible areas of change that may signal the occurrence or early beginnings of oral cancer. Speak with your dentist today about an oral cancer screening test with Identafi.
Digital X-Rays (Radiographs)
Digital radiographs are a technological advancement that results in less exposure to radiation for our patients and an instantaneous picture for our dentists. Unlike traditional, film-based X-rays, digital X-rays often show more detail and can be archived in our system for future reference and comparison. You will appreciate a more comfortable visit with less waiting and quicker treatment.
3D Cone-Beam Imaging
Having accurate and complete information is important for your doctor when planning your restorative treatment. 3D Cone Beam Imaging is fast, simple, and completely painless. With a single, ten-second scan, Dr. Lawrence can see computer-generated views of the bones and tissue of your face, teeth, jaw, and head. Dr. Lawrence can then review whatever views he needs on a computer monitor. He can view your images from any angle and in different magnifications in order to see the relationships between bones, teeth, airways, nerves, and tissues. 3D Cone-Beam Imaging does all of this while operating with a lower dose of radiation than a traditional CT scan. Your comfort, safety, and overall health are always our top priority and we are proud to bring this outstanding technology to our patients.
SPECTRA™
SPECTRA™ is a computer-based dental technology that aids your Lawrence Family Dentistry team in finding dental caries (decay) in your teeth. Utilizing a similar technology to Doppler radar, SPECTRA™ uses fluorescence to detect caries in fissures and in smooth surfaces that may go unnoticed in X-ray images. Decayed regions appear red, while healthy enamel appears green.
With dental decay, early detection is key. The addition of this technology at Lawrence Family Dentistry helps you keep your teeth healthy and minimizes the need for future extensive dental treatment.
Intra Oral Cameras
By using an intraoral camera, you will see what your dentist sees! You will also have a greater understanding of your oral health and of the treatments that the doctor is prescribing for you. Lawrence Family Dentistry’s use of this technology goes a long way in educating patients. It also lessens any feelings of anxiety that some patients may feel while visiting the dentist.
Digital Photography
Digital photography gives Dr. Lawrence instant images to use for cosmetic imaging or to keep on file to track your progress. Digital images can be electronically saved and are more efficient than traditional photographs.
