DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHS- LOW DOSE, DIGITAL XRAYS

This helps your dentist to accurately detect any potential problem areas. These radiographs offer the convenience of high-quality images that can be displayed on a computer screen or IPad for your reference, so you can have a real feel for the images and understand the treatment options explained to. We also use lead aprons to shield your body if necessary.
PANORAMIC X-RAYS – LATEST IMAGING SYSTEMS FOR DIAGNOSIS
The Sirona Panaromic Xray is the latest and most detailed panoramic imaging available in dentistry. This the highest quality clinical images during your appointment which is particularly convenient for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for patients. At Wellsford Dental we offer a Full Mouth Panoramic Digital Radiograph is very useful for general assessment of the teeth, the jaw bone, and/or wisdom teeth regular check-ups as well as orthodontic treatment planning. We also have the Cephalometric Digital Radiograph option for taking images useful for orthodontic analysis. We have many orthodontic patients enquiring about this radiography from us.
It is equipped with a ‘child mode’, which ensures the safest X-rays for your child, and with a one-shot function the X-ray can be taken in just one image – ideal for children (and adults!) who have trouble sitting still. This can show the smallest detail to enable the most precise treatment planning.
The dentist can show and explain the results immediately on the computer screen or IPad as well as email you a copy for when the radiographs are needed. We offer this technology to all of our patients (No ACC surcharge if we are carrying on with the ACC related dental care).

STERILIZATION – MAKING THIS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY IN OUR PRACTICE
The New Zealand Dental Council stipulates the standards of sterilisation that are imperative in dentistry to prevent the spread of infection. However, we go above and beyond that to ensure that our sterilization techniques are flawless. Our team undergo extensive training and stringent protocols to follow sterilization for all instruments used. At Wellsford Dental we utilize autoclave sterilisers, hand piece lubrication and ultrasonic cleaners, giving our patients the peace of mind from having all equipment continuously sterilised to professional standards.
DIAGNODENT – EARLY DETECTION OF DECAY HELPING YOU SAVE YOUR TOOTH
The DIAGNOdent is a decay detection tool using laser technology. In addition to a visual examination and radiographs, the DIAGNOdent aids decay detection in areas difficult to examine. There are often cavities that x-rays do not find. This advanced technology helps in early detection of decay even before there are any outward symptoms of a decay having originated within the tooth structure, and with earlier treatment you always have better outcomes.
