As you move through the office, you will notice we have three operatories. These open rooms are designed for your comfort and have the most advanced dental equipment available. Notice the TV screen/monitor above the chair. Intra oral cameras are used to capture full photos of your teeth and mouth and are displayed on the monitors. Patients have told us they love having photos taken because it gives them the same view as the Doctor and hygienist. Thereby allowing them to play an active roll in their treatment. | | Dr.Crofut discussing treatment options with her patient. | | At the end of the hallway is our digital panorex unit. The panorex x-ray is a single picture of all your teeth and surrounding bones. Sometimes referred to as a single FMX or full mouth x-ray, the panorex is an excellant diagnostic tool showing the entire upper and lower jaw bone, the TMJ or jaw joints, nasal sinuses as well as the position of the wisdom teeth. A panorex gives us the opportunity to take a full picture of your entire mouth and instantly see conditions which can not be seen by just opening your mouth. |
