Dental Technology
At Northshore Dental Center, we are committed to provide the best quality of dental service through continue education and new technology. The following technologies are available in our practice:
Schick Digital x-ray
Digital x-ray technology provides great benefit to patient: it uses less radiation then film-based x-ray and images are instantly available without having to wait for film processing. It is eco-friendly, using no film developing chemicals. It provides clear images of teeth, the ability to magnify the image and apply different shade of color filter to allow dentists to identify potential dental condition.
I-Cat 3D-Imaging
i-CAT Cone Beam 3D Imaging provides three-dimensional imaging to the dentists. This top of the line 3D system provides the almost accurate patient’s anatomy to enhance the ability to diagnosis and treatment planning of dental implant, third molar extractions, impactions, treatment of TMJ conditions, supernumeraries and airway assessments.
Invivo5 – Anatomage and 3D – Analysis
Invivo5 Anatomage offers the most versatile and effective rendering of dental, skeletal, soft tissue, airway and sinus anatomy. 3D Analysis allows dentist to accurately identify and measure anatomical landmarks (soft and hard tissues.) These powerful software’s allow dentist to identify any condition and virtually plan for treatment. For example, dentist can place the implant into 3D model and study the model for accurate placement of the implant before performing the actual surgery.
Perioscopy
Perioscopy uses a miniature dental endoscope with advanced video , lighting and magnification technology that enable dentist to see areas below the gumline. Perioscopy allows dentist to see, accurately diagnose and effectively treat periodontal and other dental conditions, which might otherwise go undetectived and ultimately undermine your oral health.
Intraoral Camera
Intraoral camera provide digital imaging that allow both dentist and patients to view dental conditions during examination . These digital images make it easy to communicate with insurance companies when filing claims and send to other dental providers for consultation.

VelScope by Sapphire
VELscope is a revolutionary hand-held device that provides dentist with an adjunctive mucosal examination system for the early detection of abnormal tissue. It is based on the direct visualization of tissue fluorescence and the changes in fluorescence that occur when abnormalities are present. As in any type of cancer, early detection is critical in successfuly treatment of oral cancer.

Eccovision Acoustic Diagnostic Pharyngometer
The Eccovision device (Pharyngometer and Rhinometer) uses acoustic reflection technology to accurately map out the size, structure and collapsibility of the oral and nasal airway. Similar to a ships sonar, sound waves are projected down the airway and reflected back out in such a way that the Pharyngometer/Rhinometer software can analyze and quantify changes in the airways cross-sectional area and accurately map out the topography of the nasal airway. The test is minimally invasive and takes 2-5 minutes to complete.
