Technology

Fully Computerized

Your visit has been easier or more efficient. Our chartless management software, digital radiography, and electronic insurance claims allow the Brampton Dental Arts office to operate seamlessly and with easy coordination across departments. Digitization saves you time, money, and potential headaches.

Sterilization Bay

We strive to offer care in the safest, most sterile environment possible. Our state-of-the-art sterilization area provides an accurate and consistent sterilization process. Each week, we do spore testing to make sure our machines are working and any bacteria remaining in the air is neutralized.

Digital Radiography

How does 70percent less radiation than traditional x-rays sound? How does a 1.5 SECOND wait compared to a 4.5 MINUTE wait for an x-ray sound? How does seeing your x-ray on a 42” screen to look for abnormalities sound?

This is all accomplished with the Dexis Platinum Sensor, the most advanced digital x-ray system on the market today.

Other benefits of digital radiography include:

• Zero waste
• Higher quality images than traditional x-rays
• The ability to enhance or magnify images, improving diagnoses.
• Time-saving instant images
• Reduced radiation exposure
• More comfortable sensors, improving overall patient experience

Diagnostic Tools – Intra Oral Camera

Intraoral cameras allow patients to see oral health problems, giving doctor and patient the same information to work from. These cameras can show a variety of issues with teeth or gums, including gingivitis, corroded fillings, chipped or cracked teeth, and decay.

There are many benefits to Intraoral Cameras, including:

• Patients better understand their healthcare needs, because of seeing dental issues firsthand.
• A deeper, more thorough examination than ever before.
• Doctors can more easily track your progress after treatment

Diagnostic Tools – Magnification

Dental loupes function like magnifying glasses, helping Dr. Sheikh see issues imperceptible to the naked eye. Magnification improves the depth and accuracy of your examination, making your treatment options more effective and diagnoses more precise.

Diagnostic Tools – VELscope & ViziLite Oral Cancer Screening

Since our focus is on total oral health, we perform routine oral cancer screenings yearly on all our patients. To increase precision and the ease of care, work with the most advanced Oral Cancer Screening equipment available. Our VELscope and ViziLite systems have been cleared by the FDA and Health Canada to be used as part of the standard oral cancer examination, and they can help us identify potential issues before they progress into a complicated problem. Early detection can minimize or eliminate the impact of oral cancer, allowing us to treat it early and potentially save your life. Oral Cancer Screenings are offered annually, as part of your routine check-up. They are performed immediately following a regular visual examination and are quick and painless.

Ultrasonic Gum Therapy

All our therapy rooms are equipped with the Pro Select 3 Piezo system. This device is a power-driven instrument and uses the most advanced ultrasonic technology. Room temperature purified water is emitted through the instrument reducing sensitivity and improving patient comfort. All these factors are essential in removing the bacteria causing gum disease and plaque and tartar attached to the roots of the teeth. This type of instrument has been shown to be more efficient and effective over manual instruments is key in the prevention, treatment, and control of periodontal disease.

Laser Therapy

The NV soft tissue laser has allowed Dr. Sheikh to provide an increased number of services for his patients, from simple recontouring of your gums, to treatment of gum disease and other soft tissue procedures.

This soft tissue laser enhances tissue healing and can reduce postsurgical complications. Overall, it allows us to perform procedures with less trauma and discomfort, resulting in better healing for the patient.
