Microscopes and Surgical Loupes
We use high power magnification and fiberoptic illumination to better view the small canals inside your roots and assist us in performing the technical aspects of endodontic treatment.

Apex Locators
We utilize advanced electronic root length measuring technology to help insure accuracy. These instruments work by measuring and comparing resistance of tooth structure and tooth support tissue to provide a visual and audible signal to indicate precise root length.

Ultrasonics
Our offices are equipped with sophisticated ultrasonic instruments. These units are used to remove obstructions from root canals, aid in the search for extra or calcified canals, and allow for precise root-end fillings in endodontic microsurgery cases. These instruments have also increased the safety of many of our procedures and have aided in the preservation of needed tooth structure.

Nickel Titanium Rotary Instruments
A new generation of endodontic instruments have replaced stainless steel. Made from an alloy of nickel and titanium, these new instruments have the unique properties of greater flexibility and greater resistance to fracture as compared to stainless steel. These properties allow the instruments to follow the intricate curves of the roots, resulting in predictable, efficient and rapid cleaning and shaping of the canals.

Electric Handpieces
Along with these new nickel-titanium rotary instruments have come the advent of electric motor handpieces. These handpieces are virtually silent, and can decrease the stress and anxiety of treatment.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)
A hydrophilic ceramic material that is a relatively new advancement in endodontic treatment. Our doctors use MTA for resorption repairs, perforation repairs, root end fillings during surgical treatment, and apical plug during apexification. Current literature supports its use as a biocompatible material with excellent resistance to leakage.
