Piezo-electric
scalers, lasers and milling machines are all features of
dentistry of the future, and used here at Dr. Silk's
office. The Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler is a state of the
art instrument that has proven to be effective in
removing tartar from both below and above the gum line.
This system safely uses oscillating sound waves (in
conjunction with hand scalers) to remove tartar. The
gentle vibrations are an effective tool for deep
cleaning and gum therapy. Dr. Silk utilizes fiber optic
electric hand pieces, meaning the drills are quiet and
without vibration, unlike the drills of yesteryear, and
virtually eliminates patients sensitivity, while still
powerful enough to remove heavy calculus. LED (light
emitting diodes) are THE light source of the future, and
reproduce intraoral structures in a true-to-life
fashion,
allowing for
better accuracy in treatment. |

Our intraoral
cameras take high quality photos of the surfaces of
teeth.
The revolutionary
DocPortMacro
line of intraoral cameras is the first to offer
near-microscopic magnification, allowing early detection
and prevention. Together with Dr. Silk, you can views
these images on the
monitor and see how a skilled Prosthodontist can solve
your dental issues while also enhancing your smile. |

By
incorporating The DEXIS digital X-ray technology
you can view the digital image of your teeth. Digital
x-rays are a state-of-the-art dental radiology system
that enables Dr. Silk to provide greatly improved
diagnostic capabilities to his patients, while
significantly lessening exposure to radiation. By using
digital x-rays, radiation exposure is reduced by as much
as 90% compared to traditional film x-rays! This enables
Dr. Silk to locate especially small areas of decay
between teeth, existing fillings, bridges and crowns.
Because
the radiograph displayed on the computer screen is so
much larger than film images, you will get a clearer,
more detailed view, for a better understanding of your
diagnosis. |

With all that's
available to you at our practice, Dr. Silk will change
the way you feel about dentistry! |
