Dental technology streamlines patient procedures and makes them more efficient and comfortable. At Marshall Dentistry, we're committed to providing you with an exceptional experience every time you visit, and advanced technology helps us do just that.
Read on to learn about some of the state-of-the-art equipment you'll see at our Kingsport dental office.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital x-rays capture an internal image of your teeth that helps Dr. Marshall diagnose problems like tooth decay and gum disease in their earliest stages. Digital images are readily available for our team to review and share with patients for quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
Since they emit 80 percent less radiation than film x-rays, they are safer for our patients. They're also safer for the environment since they require no chemicals to develop.
Panoramic X-Ray
A panoramic x-ray provides a full view of your teeth and jawbone and is helpful when planning tooth extraction, orthodontic treatment, and implant dentistry. We also may recommend a panographic x-ray every few years as a baseline for monitoring your dental health.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
"Take the edge off" your dental procedure with nitrous oxide dental sedation. Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide quickly helps you feel at ease during most dental procedures so you can comfortably receive the dental care you need without lingering side effects.
Talk with Dr. Marshall if you feel that you or a loved one could benefit from treatment with nitrous oxide.
Digital Records
Digital records offer a safe and secure way for us to record your information, access it quickly when we need it, and share it with pertinent providers if necessary.
Rotary Endodontics
At Marshall Dentistry, electric rotary endodontic tools help Dr. Marshall provide the most comfortable experience possible during root canal treatment. The tools are flexible since they're nickel titanium, making reaching the canals inside your tooth easier. Since they're electric, we can complete root canal treatment more efficiently.
Intraoral Camera
Imagine seeing your teeth as Dr. Marshall does! You could see tooth decay up close and understand why a dental filling is essential to restore your tooth.
Our slim intraoral camera fits inside your mouth and captures color images of your teeth and gums so we can share exactly what's happening with your smile. This tool helps you make educated decisions about the best treatment for your needs.
