At Wilmette Dental in Wilmette, IL, our doctors utilize state-of-the-art dental technology to ensure accurate diagnosis, precise treatment planning, and comfortable patient experiences. Our investment in advanced equipment reflects our commitment to providing the highest standard of care to families throughout the North Shore.
Our state-of-the-art technologies ensure accuracy, efficiency, and comfort. Our dental equipment is safe, effective, and well-maintained. Some of our dental technologies include those listed below:
Digital X-Rays
Our advanced digital x-rays magnify and enhance your teeth for better diagnosis and treatment. This technology allows us to take images of your teeth and display them on a computer screen quickly and easily.
With digital x-rays, we can view your teeth and surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy. These images provide the information we need to plan your dental treatment.
Digital x-rays require much less radiation than traditional film x-rays. Digital x-rays are a safe and effective dental technology.
Panoramic X-Ray
A panoramic x-ray machine rotates around your entire head to take a 360-degree view of your teeth, sinuses, and the bone structure of your head and jaws. This provides a more complete image than standard x-rays. Panoramic x-ray imagery is a valuable resource for our doctors to use in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Rotary Endodontics Handpiece
A rotary endodontics handpiece is a tool designed to be used in root canal therapy. By using this handpiece, we can complete the treatment gently and efficiently. This allows you to have a quicker and more comfortable treatment experience.
Cavitron®
The Cavitron is a handheld device used in periodontal deep cleaning. While scaling can be completed by hand, the Cavitron uses ultrasonic technology to remove calculus from teeth and gums quickly, gently, and effectively.
With the Cavitron, patients enjoy a more comfortable experience, and time spent scaling and polishing is decreased.
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam imaging is an advanced form of digital radiography. With the cone beam imager, one simple scan will produce a 3D image of your entire maxillofacial structure. This image can then be used in diagnostics, patient education, treatment planning, and treatment follow-up.
The cone beam provides an effective solution to create quick, clear, precise images for your benefit. Additionally, the cone beam uses minimal radiation in scanning and is a much less invasive process than other forms of imaging. This makes the cone beam an excellent choice for patients with dental anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex.
By utilizing advanced technologies like the cone beam, we can provide an effective, efficient, and comfortable patient experience for you on every visit.
Intra-oral Camera
The intra-oral camera is about the size and shape of a pen. It is used to record images of your teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue from inside your mouth. Due to its small size and sleek design, it is comfortable, easy to use, and able to view a wide range of angles. The intra-oral camera is a safe and effective tool that can be used with patients of every age.
The intra-oral camera is a highly valuable resource for both diagnosis and treatment planning. Each time we use the intra-oral camera, a new disposable cover is employed. This ensures your health and safety at all times. After your exam, images captured by the intra-oral camera may be digitally stored, printed out, or deleted.
Next-Day Crown Technology
Wilmette Dental offers next-day dental crowns, providing a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional laboratory crowns without sacrificing precision or quality. Using advanced digital scanning and CAD/CAM design technology, our doctors capture highly detailed digital impressions that allow a custom crown to be designed with exceptional accuracy.
Once the crown is digitally designed, it is fabricated with precision milling technology and delivered to our office the next business day. This streamlined process allows patients to receive a carefully crafted restoration much sooner than the traditional multi-week timeline while still maintaining the durability, fit, and natural appearance expected from high-quality ceramic crowns.
Next-day crowns combine modern digital dentistry with proven restorative techniques, helping patients restore damaged teeth quickly while ensuring long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results.
