We take great pride in being a state of the art endodontic practice and are committed to caring for you, our patients, as we would our own family.
Dr. Harris proudly offers quality dentistry specializing in Microscopic Conventional and Surgical Endodontics.
Endodontics is a microscopic science. In our practice, diagnostic and therapeutic treatments are performed using the Dental Operating Microsope to provide superior visualization inside the tooth. This technology increases our ability to provide more complete and conservative dental treatment. At magnifications of more than 20x and with optimal lighting, we are better able to see extra canal systems, unique anatomical complexities, and to identify fractures.
Our office utilizes advanced digital imaging which reduces radiation exposure during dental x-rays. Because these images are digitized, the Endodontist uses computer software to amplify and manipulate images for better diagnostic purposes. We are also very proud to be utilizing 3-D volumetric imaging, also known as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This new technology allows complete 3D visualization of the teeth and supporting structures with ultra low radiation exposure. This breakthrough technology provides unprecedented radiographic views of the teeth and supporting structures. When appropriate, this technology can be an indispensable tool for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. This device also minimizes radiation exposure by having a very small area of focus to allow detailed visualization of the area of interest, without unnecessary exposure to surrounding tissues.
