Trimira's Identafi™ 3000
Livonia Dental Care understands the importance of detecting oral cancer early.
If caught early enough, this form of cancer is one of the most curable.
Trimira's Identafi™ 3000 with its Identafi™ technology allows Dr. Nitzkin to identify biochemical and morphological changes in cells of the
mouth, throat, tongue and tonsils. Call us today to learn more about this
life saving technology.
Digital X-Ray System
At
Livonia Dental Care, all of our x-rays are digital, even the panoramic x-ray
machine. Our x-ray system is a computerized imaging system that utilizes an
electronic sensor instead of X-ray film. The sensors produce sharp and clear
images that appear almost instantly on a computer screen. Digital x-rays use
up to 90% less radiation than conventional film X-rays and therefore, the concern
for radiation exposure has been almost completely eliminated. This process is
also better for the environment as it doesn't use photo chemicals like traditional
film does.
Diagnodent ® Cavity Detection Laser
To
help you achieve optimal oral health, the dental care that you and you family
receive in our office always includes state of the art equipment. Among the
newest technologies is a smaller laser instrument called the Diagnodent, which
scans your teeth with harmless laser light searching for hidden decay that can
be missed by x-rays or an explorer tip.
Our Laser Cavity Detector is capable of detecting cavities so small that we
may be able to restore them with NO SHOT and NO DRILL! By diagnosing decay early
in its early stages, we can prevent more extensive damage. Your restorations
will be small and less costly, and you'll be able to retain more of your own
natural, healthy tooth.
Intra-oral Cameras
Intra-oral cameras have greatly improved the way we examine teeth. These pen-sized
cameras take a picture of your teeth and project the live images onto a television
screen in the treatment room. This image is magnified, allowing our team to
see and detect any decay, cracked or leaking fillings or other problems. This
technology allows us to diagnose problems during the earliest stages of development
when treatment is less invasive and less expensive.
