Just as Dr. Slepchik is dedicated to ongoing education for himself and his staff, he also continues to explore and use technologies that elevate your care.
Dentistry has advanced by leaps and bounds as new technologies evolve. To take full advantage, we've updated the equipment in each operatory, from the chairs to the newest LED lighting. The latter may sound insignificant; however, the lighting we've selected is bright enough to facilitate comprehensive visual exams and restorative and cosmetic techniques without being too hot. The lighting also supports the best use of cosmetic dental materials, preventing them from setting too quickly and allowing Dr. Slepchik to make any adjustments.
Our office is equipped with digital X-ray technology, decreasing radiation exposure by 80 percent compared to traditional X-rays. Part of this imaging technology is the ability to capture real-time images of the inside of your mouth using the intra-oral camera. These images are transferred to a screen in your room, where we can magnify them for the greatest degree of accuracy. Digital photos have also replaced the traditional method of taking impressions. Not only is this more comfortable for you, but it's also more precise in terms of visualization and model-building. The result is a crown, bridge, or other restoration that is perfectly modeled after your natural tooth structure.
In addition to wanting the most precise and advanced pieces of equipment, we're also committed to patient comfort. Our digital X-rays and use of an intra-oral camera help us achieve this during basic preventive services. The use of high-speed electric instruments and the Dental Vibe make tooth repairs and cosmetic treatments more comfortable as well, giving Dr. Slepchik the ability to freeze only the teeth he's treating, not the whole side of your mouth and lips.
Your oral health, beautiful smile, and positive experience matter to all of us! From wherever you visit, feel confident that we'll look after you as we would our own families.
