How Is Advanced Digital Technology Used?
Our intraoral camera is a handheld wand that takes high-definition images of the inside of your mouth, which can then be transferred onto to a computer screen and kept for your dental records. Capturing these images with the intraoral camera can help you understand more about your oral health by giving you a clear look of any dental issues you may have, such as cracked teeth, tooth decay, or plaque buildup. Digital x-rays are generally taken during dental exams, produce 90% less radiation than traditional films, and provide a detailed view of your mouth so that we can detect possible underlying conditions, like dental cavities or bone loss.
Sycamore Family Dentistry Reviews
Very professional, efficient and personable!!
I broke a tooth while on vacation and have no local dentist yet. Called Sycamore Family Dentistry to see if they take emergency’s. They got me in within the hour. X-rays, sealant and another appointment for a crown within 45 minutes. The dental hygienist, Denise, was great!! I have a sensitive gag reflex and she did an amazing job getting me focused on other things while she got the x-rays. Everyone in the office was very friendly and reassuring. Looks like I found my local dentist!
My experience was excellent
Friendly staff and dentist who make you feel comfortable throughout the process. Explain their findings throughout the cleaning process and checkup by the dentist and make recommendations for improvement.
The staff are all very efficient and wonderful. The dentist and his helper were on top of everything to fix my chipped tooth. It looks great to have a big smile back on my face again!!! I can’t say thank you enough.
