Dental care that is bang up to date
There is a persistent image in pop culture of dentists as villains armed with hulking wrenches to yank out the teeth of unsuspecting patients. This probably stems from what dentistry used to be like back in the bad old days. Thankfully, modern dentistry is nothing of the sort. In fact, your dentist in Mackay is all about saving your teeth.
Here at Walkerston Dental in Walkerston GP SuperClinic, Queensland, we are dedicated to helping you hold onto your teeth for as long as possible. To that end we’ve invested in modern equipment to help us do our jobs to the best of our abilities and ultimately deliver you dental care that you can trust.
Here are just 2 of the amazing widgets we put to use as your dentist in Mackay.
Digital x-rays
Perhaps hard to believe but even x-rays have gone digital today. This doesn’t just make it quicker and easier for us to capture images of your jawbone and teeth, it also makes it safer. Digital x-rays expose you to considerably less radiation than traditional x-rays. Add to that the fact that digital x-rays provide higher resolution images and it really was a no-brainer when we decided to get a digital x-ray machine.
Intra-oral camera
Have you ever been to the dentist in Mackay and heard them rabbit on about what they’ve discovered in your mouth and how you need to get it treated as soon as possible? You nod and smile, but you don’t really understand what they’re talking about. At Walkerston Dental, we want to make sure you understand exactly what is going on with your dental health. That’s why our Mackay dentist uses an intra-oral camera, which streams video images direct to a screen that both you and your dentist can look at. When words won’t suffice, a picture often does the trick.
Even more
We have a digital orthopantomogramme to capture a complete view of both jaws of teeth in a single image, surgical microscopes and loupes so we can see every detail of your mouth and advanced dental implant planning software.
Get in touch to find out how we’ll put all of this technology to good use for your dental health.
