Innovative Technology
Technology has improved many aspects of dentistry, from comfort and clinical precision to and patient education and safety. Dr. Ellis stays on top of the latest trends in dental technology. After study and review, she brings to our Missouri City, TX office the tools she finds most beneficial for our patients. These are a few of the technological innovations you may experience at your dental visit:
DIAGNOdent – With DIAGNOdent, our cavity-detection laser, Dr. Ellis can find decay in the
earliest stage, called demineralization. This allows early intervention for conservative treatment.
Digital X-ray – Digital radiography exposes a patient to about 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays, improving your safety. The images are immediately viewable on a monitor in our treatment rooms.
Intraoral Cameras – In addition to X-rays, intraoral photographs provide Dr. Ellis with precise information for better diagnosis and treatment planning.
VELscope – Oral cancer claims over 7500 American lives annually. With VELscope, Dr. Ellis can see suspicious cells in soft tissue before they surface. Early detection and treatment dramatically improves a patient’s potential for survival.
