Technology - White Marsh, MD, Dental

Honeygo Village Dentistry continually invests in the most advanced technology available. The state-of-the-art equipment used in our office allows us to provide the best possible care. Below, you can learn about some of the technology that our experienced dental team may use during your visit:

EZ WHITE™ PRO

Uses a patented, light-activated technology and oxygen-rich gel to break away stains quickly and gently in seconds, for results patients can see instantly.

3D Cone Beam CT Scan

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Images obtained with cone beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning. 3D Cone Beam CT Scans are particularly useful for the placement of dental implants.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is a small tool that we use to show you what we are looking at inside your mouth. The camera is able to take high-quality photos of your teeth and gums, which will then be magnified and displayed on a computer monitor for you to see. Our dentists will be able to use the image to see your teeth in greater detail, making it easier to identify potential issues. The photos will also help us to explain our diagnosis, our treatment and give you a greater understanding of any problem areas.

E4D Same Day Crown Restoration

For patients with busy schedules, E4D is a great way to obtain custom-made ceramic restorations, such as crowns, inlays and onlays in just one visit. First, a 3D image of your tooth is taken, then a ceramic restoration is created for you right away in our office – no need to wait weeks or months for it to be created in an off-site lab. We will assure that it fits comfortably and looks as natural as possible. The restoration will be color-matched to your surrounding teeth, polished and attached to the affected tooth. E4D same-day milling technology is known for its accuracy, precision and extraordinary convenience for patients.

Soft Tissue Laser

For the dentist, the diode laser has a multitude of clinical uses. From esthetic gingivectomies, to implant uncovering, to frenectomies, to gingival troughing for impressions, hemostasis, and so many other soft-tissue procedures, the diode laser is an effective and powerful clinical tool.

Autoclave Sterilization

We protect our patients by using the highest sterilisation systems possible. We are OSHA- compliant with our techniques, equipment, and state monitoring. The sterilisers are recognised throughout the world as the best in biological sterilisation and for setting the benchmark for safe dental care.

Spectra Caries (Decay) Detection Aid

The only caries detection aid that works like Doppler radar to discover caries earlier. Spectra, recently awarded the Pride Institute's coveted "Best of Class Technology Award" for a third consecutive year, is the only caries detection aid providing both color and numerical indications of the extent of the decay. Spectra uses fluorescence to detect caries in fissures and smooth surfaces that may go unnoticed in an x-ray

Logicon Caries (Decay) Detection

The LOGICON Caries Detector is a state-of-the-art computer-aided tool that helps locate decay unseen by the human eye. From the digital x-rays, images are highlighted in the possible problem areas signaling Dr. Sexton to take a closer look at the tooth involved.

This program was originally designed for the United States Department of Defense for identifying explosive contraband in airport security x-ray systems. It has been adapted for use in dental imaging and thus far has been an invaluable aid to early detection of small cavities that normally would not have been seen until they were much larger.

Surgical Guides for Dental Implants

Used during the surgical procedure, the surgical guide directs the implant drilling system and provides for accurate placement according to the digital surgical treatment plan.
