Dental Technology
At Heritage Dental Centre in Mission, we use dental technologies to make your care more precise, comfortable, and effective.
Our Dental Technologies
Our goal at Heritage Dental Centre is to make your dental care as comfortable and efficient as possible by using the range of dental technologies we have available to us.
Depending on your unique needs, your dental team may use one or more of the following tools during your visit.
-
Digital X-Rays
A digital dental X-ray is an advanced imaging technique that uses electronic sensors instead of traditional film to capture detailed images of your teeth and mouth instantly on a computer. We can then display these images on our treatment room monitors for your viewing.
-
Panoramic X-Rays
A panoramic dental X-ray is a two-dimensional image that captures your entire mouth, including all the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding structures, in a single scan. The process is fast, comfortable, and suitable for patients of all ages, helping us detect issues early and plan your care with confidence.
-
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that takes detailed images inside your mouth, allowing both you and your dentist to see teeth and gums up close. This technology is used as part of oral exams and assessments of the health of the interior of your mouth.
-
VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening Device
A VELscope is a handheld device that uses special blue light to help dentists detect early signs of oral abnormalities, including oral cancer, that may not be visible to the naked eye. Using it at our routine checkups helps us to spot oral cancer early in its development stages.
-
CEREC® Same Day Restorations
At Heritage Dental Centre in Mission, we offer Dentistry Powered by CEREC. This technology allows our dentists to place custom crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers more quickly than in the past, often in a single appointment.
