High Tech DentistryHigh Tech DentistryDentistry and technology together are creating new possibilities. We can now attain new levels of care in preventative, restorative and cosmetic dentistry using an array of the latest technology. It is still possible to practice dentistry in an old chair with basic equipment but that is not the sort of dentistry we practice at Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre. We make use of the latest high-technology equipment and techniques to ensure that the highest quality dentistry is delivered to you in a safe, comfortable environment. If there's a piece of equipment that will make your visit to us a little easier, rest assured we either have it or it is on order! Digital RadiographyVery similar to digital photography this amazing technology allows us to view and manipulate dental radiographs almost instantaneously. The benefit to you is approximately 90% less exposure to X-ray radiation. It also enables us to communicate any problems more effectively to you, as the image appears on a large LCD screen. It is also kinder to the environment as no waste chemicals need to be disposed of.

Intra Oral CamerasEach of our surgeries has a miniature colour camera system that allows any problems in your mouth to be seen on a colour TV screen. If you the patient can actually see the problem, it is possible to discuss treatment options in a non-threatening way and agree on a treatment plan.This joint diagnosis system sets Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre apart from those where patients are told what is wrong and what is going to be done about it, only then for the patient to ask the dental nurse or the receptionist what it all meant!

Practice WorksThe practice has been fully computerised since 1982. Practice Works is quite simply the best practice management software available anywhere. Its versatility allows us to integrate all aspects of your history and treatment, including the storage of your digital images on file. Basically it makes us more efficient in managing your treatment needs.Back to High Tech Dentistry Back to About Us 
Cavitron SPSThis is an ultrasonic scaler that is used to gently remove tartar that causes gum disease. We can also use it to irrigate gum pockets with antibacterial solutions to improve the health of the gums. It's state of the art electronics allows a very low power setting to painlessly remove tartar from those sensitive areas.We use the ultrasonic scaler in root canal treatment (endosonics), to better clean the canals for successful root canal therapy.

Advanced Endodontic Equipment(Root Canal Treatment)We use the latest computer wizardry to measure the length of the canal to within 0.1mm. It is then shaped by Nickel-Titanium files using a computerised motor before being filled using the state-of-the-art "Elements Obturation Unit". What this means to you the patient, is more accurate, and therefore more successful root canal treatments. Back to High Tech Dentistry Back to About Us 
W&H Lisa AutoclaveThis hospital grade autoclave ensures the sterility of all our instruments. A combination of steam and pressure kills ALL bacteria, viruses and spores to leave the instruments sterile. It exceeds all the current New Zealand standards for infection control. It's pre and post vacuum cycles ensure total sterilisation, even in hollow tubes for example, insides of the hand pieces. We use special pouches to maintain the sterility of the instruments after they leave the autoclave. Back to High Tech Dentistry Back to About Us
