Our Advanced Dental Technology

Dr. Jason Hecht: In all aspects of dentistry there's this front edge of knowledge through the continuing education that we do. We seriously evaluate and see if this new machine can help our patient care and bring the best possible outcome for our patients' teeth. The digital X-ray's image help in the way we do our daily work. It's much faster. As soon as the X-ray is taken, we can even be looking at the X-rays in another room while our assistant is taking the X-rays. So if someone has an emergency, someone is in a lot of pain, we take that X-ray. Instantly we see the results. We see what's going on with that tooth and we can walk in, tell the patient this is what you need on this tooth, this is what's going on. It's also safer because we actually put the machines that we've been using for 20 or 30 years in dentistry on a much lower setting. The actual radiation can be delivered is basically meaningless, minimal. Dr. Alex Hecht: The technology that we have available to us today between the CAT Scan and the development by implant companies of shorter and thinner implants. Even those patients whose chewing ability went down to such a minimal level, more often than not we can help those people, also.
