Our modern practice is fully equipped with the best dental technologies; everything from low-dose radiation digital X-rays to CEREC: a process that allows dental crowns to be fabricated in a single visit -- for those who don't have all the time in the world.
Happy Gas
Is a great way to relax you during dental treatment. Happy gas (nitrous oxide) is a form of inhalation sedation that is administered through a mask during your appointment. It allows you to feel extremely relaxed and content, while still being aware of your surroundings. The effects of nitrous oxide last only as long as you continue to breathe in the gas.
Digital X-rays
We only use digital x-rays at Broadway Dental Centre. Digital x-rays use only 1/10 of radiation compared to traditional x-rays. No film or chemicals are used. The image appears almost immediately on the computer screen and can be magnified or clarified to improve our diagnosis and interpretation.
Diagnodent
It is sometimes very hard to clean the biting surfaces on the back molar/premolar teeth with the bristles of the toothbrush. The deep and narrow grooves and fissures of the biting surfaces are a haven for bacteria and sometimes our instruments are too large to check those small grooves. It is here decay will first occur.
Diagnodent uses a small laser to check the grooves and fissures for decay and weakened tooth structure. From this, if a reading is obtained for each tooth the early decay is detected, the tooth can be protected with a fissure sealer (small tooth coloured cover). This will in the majority of cases prevent you needing a filling in the future.
Diagnodent allows us to treat problems early and prevent expensive dental work in future. This is fast and painless
