At Promenade Village Dental, we prioritize the safety and highest quality of care for our patients. Our office uses digital X-rays to aid in your oral health care. Unlike traditional film X-rays, our digital X-rays employ electronic sensors that capture images, storing them on a computer for immediate viewing by both you and your dentist in the clinic. This also facilitates easy sharing with other healthcare professionals.

The advantages of digital X-rays at Promenade Village Dental extend to your oral health in various ways:

●      Early Detection: Identify decay and abnormalities between teeth and below the gum line.

●      Periodontal Monitoring: Track the effects of periodontal conditions.

●      Jawbone and Tooth Position Monitoring: Keep an eye on your jawbone and the position of your teeth.

●      Preventive Monitoring: Address areas of concern before they escalate into problems.

●      Comprehensive Assessment: Detects any growths or abnormalities in your jawbone that could indicate more serious issues.

●      Holistic View: Obtain a complete picture of your teeth in relation to each other and your overall oral health.

One of the notable advantages of digital X-rays is their extremely low radiation levels, ensuring your safety while providing efficient imaging. Digital X-rays eliminate the need for film printing, making them more environmentally friendly.

Our Thornhill dentist, Dr. Shima Parhizgar relies on digital X-rays to gather crucial information about the condition of your teeth and gums. These advanced tools aid in diagnosing and treating dental issues, enabling our dental team to detect problems early and prevent further complications.

At our Thornhill dental office, we utilize an intraoral camera to allow you to see your mouth the way we see your mouth.

Our goal is to make your experience as easy and effective as possible, which is why we use an intraoral camera in our diagnostic process. You get to see up close the state of your teeth, including good health and issues such as cracked teeth, decay, worn-out or defective fillings, bleeding gums, and tartar.

With the intraoral camera, our Thornhill dental team can capture every detail of your smile with ease – even small cracks that can lead to tooth damage in the future can be detected. Our goal is to make sure you're taking care of your smile with transparency and prevention in mind. The images are displayed on a monitor screen so our dentists and hygienists can show you exactly what they see so that you better understand any issues and the options available for treatment.

Lasers are something that we are all familiar with. We come across them in our everyday lives; from computers to grocery store scanners, laser pointers, scanners and much more. Today, lasers have been implemented into dentistry, proving to be very purposeful and fitting.

The benefits of laser treatment include:

●      Faster healing

●      Less bleeding

●      Reduced swelling

●      Reduced bacteria

How We Practice Laser Dentistry?

In our Thornhill office, we use the Ivoclar Vivadent – Odyssey laser. This technology is equipped with a high-performance laser that is user-friendly, consistent and safe for both our clinicians and patients.

Before using the laser, we provide you with special protective eyewear, and then we may numb the area that we are focusing on, to make your experience more comfortable and safe. We then pass the laser over the affected area for treatment. The narrow beam only removes a specific number of cell layers on each pass, so we have precise control over the procedure.

Lasers can be used in a wide range of procedures, including:

●      Cosmetic gum recontouring

●      Lesion removal

●      Treatment of gum disease

●      Removal of excess gum tissue

●      Gum surgery
