Precision
dentistry
When you seek care at our office, you
are assured that Dr. Hart, Dr. Copps - Wood, and their staff avail themselves to the
latest in technology to enhance the quality and precision fit of
your dental restorations. When we implement technology, it is
to improve the quality of your care.
Microscopic Dentistry:
|
In the summer of
2001, we were the first (and, to our belief, still the only) restorative
dental office in S.E. Wisconsin to introduce high power microscopes to
enhance the precision of patient care.
- Dentistry is, when you think about it,
micro-surgery. Using the same microscope that an ophthalmologist
uses allows us to create dental restorations with incredibility
precise fit and finish. You just cant do that with the naked
eye, or even with the use of "loupes".
- In addition to allowing precise, close up work, the
microscope directs a beam of light directly on the teeth, minimizing
glare to you.

Electric (not air-driven)
Handpieces:
|
Most dentists
use air-driven "handpieces" (the dental term for "drills"). While
acceptable for many procedures, these louder, "whiney sounding" air
powered hand pieces all have a degree of non-concentricity; they do
not rotate perfectly smoothly.
- For the most precise aspects of restorative
procedures, we use electric handpieces. This results in
extraordinarily precise interfaces between your tooth and your new
restoration (crown, veneer, or filling).
- Electric is more comfortable for you, too;
since it is so precise, there is less vibration and less noise.

Digital
X-Rays:
|
Digital X-rays
offer more precision since we view the image on a 17" monitor, instead of
holding up a 35mm film up to the light.
- Also, the digital X-ray results in 1/6th the
radiation exposure to you.
- When we do need to use film-based X-rays, we use the
latest and fastest from Fuji, Agfa, or Kodak, and, we always take immediate doubles,
resulting in far higher quality in the images we send to other doctors
and insurance companies. Also, using immediate doubles reduces
your X-Ray exposure by 50%.
