Dental Technology
Division Street Dental is proud to offer state-of-the-art dental technology right here in Mount Vernon, WA. Advances in dental technology can make significant impacts on successful treatment outcomes, so we invest in staying at the forefront of the latest dental tools and techniques.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays allow us to examine the inside of your teeth and catch problems that can’t be seen with the naked eye, including teeth developing cavities and gum areas that may need extra attention.
Intraoral Camera
We utilize an intraoral camera to provide our patients with up-close visuals of what’s going on their mouths. This tool is especially helpful when tracking the progress of a treatment, viewing before and after comparisons, and determining if a given treatment is working.
Laser Dentistry
Lasers can be used in a variety of dental procedures. They can remold gums, remove extra mouth tissue or tumors, and more. Laser dentistry makes most procedures more efficient and less painful for many people. Wounds from laser surgery heal faster because the laser minimizes bleeding and post-surgical infections. Procedures are simpler because anesthesia and sutures are less commonly needed with dental laser surgery.
Ultrasonic Instruments
Division Street Dental offers the option of cleanings with two brands of state-of-the-art ultrasonic instruments: Piezo and Cavitron. These instruments are powered by a cleaning tip that vibrates on a microscopic level while spraying water, which flushes plaque and bacteria in an alternative way to traditional cleaning methods.
We acknowledge that some people do not prefer having their teeth cleaned with these instruments, and some people prefer it. If you feel strongly about the cleaning method we use on your teeth, be sure to discuss this with the staff member who schedules your appointment so you can be paired with the appropriate clinician!
