Technology
Dentistry is an exciting field that always offers new technology to make treatments and procedures easier and faster for our patients. At Lifetime Dental, patient comfort and quality care are of the utmost importance, which is why we offer advance technologies, some of which are:
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small device at the end of a wand that allows us to get an up-close look at every part of your mouth. The images are viewed on a large monitor, letting us to assess the condition of your mouth and teeth and helping us spot potential problems before they arise. Using this information, we can design far more highly targeted and specific treatment plans.
High Resolution digital photo imaging:
With our Sony 4K digital camera incorporated into the Zeiss Dental Microscope even the minutest details can now be visualized in crystal clear clarity on our large Ultra High Definition monitor. This allows problems that were previously difficult to see be visualized clearly, enhancing our diagnosis and communication. 4K video recording allows us to archive your data in high resolution.
Digital X-rays:
By using computer sensors, instead of traditional film, digital x-rays offer superior diagnostic capability. And with the ability to show the image on a large screen, patients can now see and understand problems better. More importantly it uses up to 80% less radiation, dramatically improving safety. Lastly, because there are no harsh chemicals needed for developing traditional film, it is environmentally friendly as well.
Fully Digitized and Paperless:
We are a paperless office. Because all work is computerized we can provide greater accuracy, efficiency and safety of your personal information. Our fast network and robust hardware allow us to manage all your information, from medical records, digital x-rays to digital photos quickly and efficiently. And because all information is digitized, sending your diagnostic information to others such as specialists is a snap via email. And electronic data submission to your insurance company makes receiving your reimbursement lightning fast.
Microscope-Assisted Dentistry
We are proud to be one of few offices that have incorporated this unique technology for all phases of dentistry. Featuring a state-of-the-art Dental Microscope from Carl Zeiss, a leader in medical imaging optics, Dr. Kim can visualize a magnified view of your mouth that is unattainable with the human eyes. The benefits for you mean greater accuracy, greater precision and more conservative dentistry, which preserves tooth structure and causes less trauma to soft tissues, leading to quicker healing.
