Exceptional Technology

Our office strives to say on the cutting-edge of new technology to provide our patients with less painful, more accurate services.

Diagnodent

This laser cavity detection device finds decay before it would ordinarily be detectible.  A battery powered laser light is emitted at the end of a small wand placed on the biting surface of a tooth.  The reflection of this light produces a numerical readout which rises in the presence of decay.  Cavities in this area, which are very common, can be found at such an early stage that they can be eliminated without use of the drill or Novocain.

Air abrasion

Areas of decay can be removed with this miniature sandblaster without any sensation, and therefore, the use of Novocain is not necessary. This works hand in hand with Diagnodent because its main use is preparing small areas of decay for filling with plastic materials. Teeth prepared with air abrasion are a perfect match for adhesively applied white plastic tooth filling materials.

4.5 X Magnification

Modern dental care requires the use of magnification. Dr. Rouff’s eyeglasses have built-in binoculars that magnify the images he sees by 4.5 times. Using advanced magnification of this level allows previously unobtainable precision.

Xeon Lighting

A high intensity spotlight is attached to Dr. Rouff’s magnifying glasses and greatly illuminates the area where he is working without any glare in the patient’s eyes.

Plasma Arc Curing Lights

All the plastic materials we use are manufactured so that they can be hardened when exposed to a bright light. Plasma arc curing lights are the strongest such lights available, and reduce needed exposure times to 20 percent of those otherwise necessary. This light also ensures that plastic materials are hardened to the fullest extent possible.
