At Providence Dental Care, we are committed to providing gentle, personalised dental care while incorporating the latest technology to enhance every aspect of your visit. Our advanced tools and equipment are designed to support accurate diagnoses, effective treatments and a comfortable experience for all patients. By using modern imaging, digital records and patient-focused devices, we aim to make your dental care safer, more efficient and more comfortable.
We invite you to explore the technology we use to support oral health.
Panoramic X-Rays
A panoramic x-ray captures a single, comprehensive image of your entire mouth, including teeth, jaws and surrounding structures. This helps our team detect issues like impacted teeth, jaw irregularities or bone abnormalities efficiently.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, sometimes called 'happy gas', is a controlled method aimed to help patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. Its effects typically wear off quickly, allowing most patients to resume normal activities soon after treatment.
Digital Records
We maintain secure digital records for each patient, including treatment history, x-rays and other important health information. This allows for accurate, organized and readily accessible information for ongoing care.
Ceiling-Mounted TVs
Ceiling-mounted TVs in treatment rooms provide a comfortable distraction during procedures. Patients can choose to watch programs or movies.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera and Medit™ i500 scanner allow us to capture detailed images of your teeth and gums, both inside and outside the mouth. These visuals help with diagnosis, treatment planning and patient education.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital x-rays use a small sensor to capture detailed images with less radiation than traditional film. They allow our team to quickly review and enhance images for accurate diagnosis.
Digital Impressions
Digital impressions use scanning technology to create a 3-D model of your teeth and gums, eliminating the need for traditional moulds. This technology aims to improve comfort and accuracy for restorations like dental crowns or clear aligners.
Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones are available upon request to reduce ambient sounds during treatment. This can help create a calmer and more comfortable experience for patients who are sensitive to noise.
OPG Dental X-Ray
An OPG (orthopantomogram) x-ray is designed to capture a panoramic view of your entire jaw and teeth in a single image. This can be particularly useful for evaluating wisdom teeth, jaw alignment and overall oral health.
