Digital X-ray

The clinic uses a revolutionary digital x-ray sensor system from Europe. This sensor redefines the patient-doctor care practice, as is the first intelligent intra-oral sensor with innovative Automatic Activation System technology. Opteo intra-oral sensors were awarded the Professional Innovation Prize by UFSBD (Union Française pour la Santé Bucco-Dentaire). This new concept in dental radiography has taken France and Europe by storm since 2010. It truly offers freedom of movement and ease of diagnosis for the benefit of the patient and doctor.

Advantages of using a Digital X-ray:

  1. Enhance patient-doctor communication through instant on-screen review
  2. Instant images and quick re-takes
  3. Enhancement tools to aid diagnosis
  4. Enable electronic storage and centralization of all patient information
  5. Reduce exposure to ionizing radiation
  6. Address a concern for the environment by eliminating chemical discharge after film processing

In-Office information Centre

We are using an in-office information display. This technology is meant to share with you various information about our office and what we do. We are sharing recent aesthetic cases, beautiful smiles, office milestones or snapshots from events that have been attended by our staff. All this information is presented in a professional format that is easy to follow and is short. We thrive to keep it up to date with office information and also to make it fun by presenting the images in themes that are relevant with the current season or holidays.

I-Glasses

If you tend to be one of those people who fear the dentist, or get overly anxious, then these amazing I-Glasses are perfect for you.

Just slip these glasses on during the procedure and you can watch a movie as if it were on a giant screen, taking your mind and focus away from the procedures being performed. Patients are frequently amazed at how fast, easy, pain-free and anxiety-free their visits were when they try these glasses.

Intraoral Camera

If would like to get a closer look at what is going on in your mouth, then our office has an answer for you. An intraoral camera enables the doctor to take a picture of the outside of the tooth and display it on a computer monitor for you to see. We can even print a copy for you (kids especially love these images) if you want to take one home, need to provide an image for another specialist, or for your insurance carrier.

The intraoral camera can also spot problems before you experience pain, and is therefore a very valuable diagnostic and preventative tool to help your dentist treat your specific needs as they arise.

This technology is available throughout the office; when you discuss your treatment either with the doctor or the hygienist we have all the information and pictures readily available to support the conversation.

Voice Activated Periocharting

This is an e-Dental Charting system supported by a proven voice activation/voice dictation technology and allows hygienists to work smarter by using voice dictation to enter all their commands. We are able to share and discuss your history and draw comparisons over multiple and different date ranges. This is presented using advanced colour graphics and will highlight the problematic areas. A full periodontal statistics report can be printed in graphical and/or numeric formats.

We also want to compliment our excellence in dental services with more responsibility to the environment. Therefore, another step towards this goal is through the adoption of an e-Dental Charting system.

Optio Dentistry Clinic Video Library

Our clinic uses smart, engaging videos to support our conversation and explain various aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry. These educational materials are available in our waiting area, chair-side, and consultation rooms.
