Our Technology
Using the latest advancements in dental technology, Dr. Golab provides his guests with safer, faster and far less intrusive treatment options. We currently offer the following:
Intra-oral Cameras: Intra-oral cameras have greatly improved the way we examine our patients’ teeth. Using a pen-sized camera, we take video of your teeth and project the live image onto a television screen in the treatment room. This image is magnified, allowing us to better see and detect any decay, cracked or leaking fillings or other problems. This technology helps us to diagnose and treat problems earlier than was ever before possible.
Digital SLR Photography: It is essential in today’s dental practice to utilize not just point and shoot photography, but very high-end, digital SLR photography. Why? Before, during, and after photos, shot in the highest quality digital photographs available today allow us to see accurately with no distortion or pixilation. We think it is one of our best diagnostic and educational tools.
Digital Computer X-Rays: These provide approximately 50 percent less radiation than traditional x-rays and are considered more accurate. Having a computer analysis program that can actually detect where the decay is and how far it has progressed, allows us to compare progression from year to year. If an issue does not accelerate or grow, we may decide that it need not be repaired.
Diagnodent Laser: We use lasers as supplementary and diagnostic tools. The Diagnodent is especially crucial because it can detect decay at its earliest stages, allowing us to utilize drill-less dentistry to treat decay in its earliest stages, possibly avoiding the need for anesthetic (numbing), with far more conservative results than traditional dentistry. This laser can detect decay before it can be seen on x-rays and before we can see it with the naked eye.
Diode Laser: This fantastic laser can fight gum disease easily and painlessly, without the need for injections. It speeds healing time and comfort for any procedure but its greatest benefit is that it can instantly heal any cold sores, fever blisters, or ulcers – without any discomfort whatsoever!
Air Abrasion/Drill-less dentistry: This wonderful technology is like a small “power-washer” for your teeth. By utilizing dried microscopic particles under pressure, it literally can “spray” away decay from your tooth, without any anesthetic (numbing) or drilling.
Self-contained H2O Systems: The water in our office is filtered to 2 microns. The water we use on each patient is fresh, distilled H2O - so there is no bacterial contamination! We refuse to use city water.
Electric Hand pieces: We utilize the newest type of dental hand piece –ELECTRIC! The greatest benefit of this awesome technology is that it eliminates the "whine" and "noise" of traditional dental drills. It is quiet, soft and gentle as it runs at a very slow speed. It does not cause the damage to a tooth associated with traditional " whining" drills. As a result, the potential for root canals caused by traditional dental drills is dramatically reduced.
Microsonic Therapy: This highly specialized instrument eliminates the outdated method of "scraping teeth clean" by the hygienist. It actually cleans teeth sonically without any discomfort or even touching your teeth! It is the most progressive standard of care in dentistry today.
Statim 5000 Autoclave: This is the most advanced autoclave used in dentistry, ensuring state-of-the-art sterilization procedures within our office.
Surgical Telescopes: These specialized telescopes allow Dr. Golab to create highly accurate, secure and long lasting dental work, by magnifying the field of operation 8 times! Dentistry should not be practiced without this high powered magnification.
