Our Technology
Modern Tools for Precise, Comfortable Care
Apopka Smiles is committed to providing the highest quality dental care available in central Florida, and modern technology is a big part of that commitment. The right tools help our dentist find problems earlier, treat them more precisely and keep you more comfortable in the chair. Our office is also designed to exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) standards.
Digital X-Ray Technology
Digital X-rays give our dentist a more precise view of decay or damage. Images appear on a computer within moments, and our dentist can zoom in on specific areas for a more accurate exam. Digital X-rays produce almost 80 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Panorex Imaging
A Panorex captures complete views of the upper and lower jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joints and sinuses in a single 360-degree image. It helps us identify issues a normal X-ray can't, from impacted wisdom teeth to bone levels for dental implants.
Oral Cancer Screening
Our team believes every patient should receive an oral cancer screening at least once a year. We use an ultraviolet light to help detect potential problems that can't always be seen with the naked eye.
Electric Handpieces
Electric handpieces spin with smooth, constant torque that doesn't change as the bur meets resistance. The result is faster, more accurate treatment and less time in the chair.
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontics uses an electric-powered instrument with a flexible nickel titanium tip to make the cleaning portion of a root canal faster and more comfortable.
How Technology Benefits You
- Earlier detection. Clearer images and screenings help catch problems while they're small.
- Less radiation. Digital imaging reduces radiation exposure.
- Shorter visits. Efficient tools mean less time in the chair.
- Better understanding. Seeing your images on screen helps you understand your treatment options.
