Digital Panoramic X-ray Technology

Digital Panoramic X-ray reduces radiation dose considerably, because each image is attained using a short x-ray pulse instead of continuous radiation. Digital X-ray Technology is ecologically friendly.  Unlike conventional film processing, less hazardous waste is created. There are no lead backings on the x-ray films and less radiation is administered in the process.

 
     Patient Benefits

       ● Safety – Digital technology requires less radiation exposure. Dosage is reduced by as much as 1/3 of conventional x-rays.

       ● Instantaneous – Images are viewable immediately through digital imaging technology. The x-ray image is digitally transferred from the x-ray unit to the
computer screen attached to the patient chair.

       ● Reliable – Digital technology reveals details in which conventional film cannot. The x-ray image can be magnified 300 times its normal size. Cavities in their earliest stages can be detected.

Intra-Oral Camera Technology

The intra-oral camera is a small digital camera in the shape of a pen that our dentists move around inside your mouth.  The camera is used to obtain a detailed real-time probe of the problem area of your tooth.  The digital image can be stored as reference, enlarged and printed.

       Patient Benefits

       ● Accuracy - Because the dentist can see the smallest details of each of your Teeth, diagnosis is more accurate enabling more precise treatment.

       ● Confidence - Because you are able to view the problems and treatment areas yourself, our dentists are able to explain in detail any of your specific concerns.With enhanced visual communication, our dentists better help you understand your treatment needs.

Sterilization & Infection Control

For our patients’ safety and protection, Pacific Dental Care maintains the most up-to-date methods of sterilization and infection control. Your safety is best guaranteed through rigorous sterilization of equipment and instruments.  We operate state-of-the-art sterilization equipment and follow stringent universal infection control protocols.


Ultrasonic Cleaning System

At Pacific Dental Care, the same system used in hospitals is utilized to effectively clean instruments, crowns, dentures and other apparatus prior to sterilization. Our “Sultan Pro-Sonic” Ultrasonic Technology from the US greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and infection that can occur with manual cleaning.  This is a critical procedure for protecting dental instruments against hand contact.

Autoclave Sterilization

All instruments and hand-pieces are sterilized with state-of-the-art Autoclave Technology by Tuttnauer. 

Our hospital-grade Autoclave unit is specially designed for the effective sterilization of dental instruments. It utilizes steam to sterilize; this means that all bacteria and germs will be disinfected.  This technology ensures reliable, consistent and complete sterilization of instruments.


Sterile Sealing and Storage

Optimal sealing and proper storage of each dental instrument is of vital importance for the protection from contamination and overall hygiene of the clinic. For sterile packaging of all our dental instruments, we use the impulse sealing unit of Melag, Germany, a top-of-line heat sealer with the highest quality and safety standards. 

Specially designed for steam sterilization, after removal from the Autoclave, each auto-sealed sterilized item is marked and dated for reference.
