Digital Technology Offered
Reduced Radiation X-Rays
In addition to reducing the amount of radiation exposure by 90%, the improved diagnostic capability of digital X-rays, combined with the ability to view them on a computer screen, enables patients to better understand their treatment and follow it more effectively. Digital X-rays are instant; there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital X-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a highly environmentally friendly technology. Eliminating film, developer, and chemical waste is better for you and the environment!
Digital Intraoral Cameras
Digital intraoral cameras provide real-time detailed images of the mouth and teeth which are displayed on a screen. This technology allows dentists to show patients existing or developing problems, so patients better understand the state of their oral health.
Digital Caries Detection
Using UV technology, these digital devices detect developing cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye.
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Kalmar Family Dentistry offers free Wi-Fi for patients and guests to use while visiting our practice.
Online Bill Pay
Kalmar Family Dentistry offers online bill pay for added convenience and to reduce paper waste.
Prophy-Jet Polishers
Advanced polishing tools use pressurized water, along with baking soda to remove stains more thoroughly during biannual dental cleanings.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A specialized light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.
Noise Cancelling Headphones
These ultra quiet headphones are for patient use during any dental procedure. Patients can listen to their favorite music, movie, or television show without having to hear all of the surrounding noise going on as the dental work is being performed.
Digital Flat Screen Monitors
These monitors are found next to every patient chair. Patients can watch a movie or TV show. Patients can also view their dental radiographs when speaking to the doctor about the findings for a better understanding of their oral health.
