Monitoring Your Oral Health
At Big Bay Point Dentistry, the technology we use helps us to detect oral health problems hidden deep within the teeth and oral cavity and provides us with information we may not have been able to glean with just the naked eye.
Digital X-rays, VELscope® and chairside monitors play a key role in helping us to live up to our commitment to provide patients with detailed information about their oral health and personalized treatment planning.
These dental technologies also help to keep your appointment as efficient and convenient as possible.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. This technology produces highly detailed computer images of the teeth and gums, as well as other oral structures and conditions, allowing your dentist to examine parts of your mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.
Oral Cancer Screening Device
VELscope® is an oral cancer screening device that helps your dentist identify abnormalities and diseases that may be developing in your mouth, such as cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. Screenings are performed during routine exams as a standard part of your preventive care plan.
