Technology

In the not-so-distant past, many dental clinics and medical practices would store patient records in paper files. Each patient file would contain notes, x-rays, insurance information, medical history and more.

Nowadays, digital records allow dental staff to keep patient information up-to-date and stored safely and securely in our in-house network. Since records are digital, we can instantly share them with specialists or insurance providers when needed. 

We update your digital record after each visit so we can monitor your teeth and gums to catch any changes or conditions like periodontal disease. 

We invite new patients to fill out our online form before their first appointment, so we can create their patient file by the time they come in for their appointment.

Electric handpieces help allow our dentists to provide dental care without as much vibrations or noise as other devices. Many of our patients sensitive to movement and sound report feeling relieved that their dental procedure will be relatively silent without the high-pitched whirring of older tools. Newer electric handpieces are designed to be more powerful and steady, which helps keep dental appointments shorter and more efficient. 

At Be Well Dental, it is not part of our dentistry to push patients into agreeing to a dental procedure. Instead, we prefer to educate our patients and let them take an active role in their own oral health. 

Intraoral cameras help us show patients exactly what we see. They are tiny digital cameras that allow Drs Bao, Will and Trang to take pictures of your teeth, gums and soft tissue. Patients can often see dental issues like eroded enamel, chips, cracks, fractures, cavities and plaque. We can display the images on a chairside monitor near the patient's chair, allowing them to see what we see and why we would recommend a certain dental procedure. 

When most patients think of root canal therapy, words like 'gentle' and 'comfort' don't also spring to mind. Yet, with the improvement of dental tools, we aim to make these dental procedures more serene and tranquil. 

Traditionally, rotary instruments were designed from uncomfortably inflexible steel. Recent versions are crafted from nickel-titanium, which are adjustable and allow us to more easily manoeuvre around the tooth's canals. Additionally, electric rotary tools vibrate less, which many patients report appreciating. 

Our Highgate Hill patients can allow themselves to feel comfortable and at home each time they visit us. We offer TVs within each treatment room so our patients can settle in and catch up on their favourite shows or discover new ones while we treat their dental health. 

At Be Well Dental, we want each patient to know that their health and comfort are important. Each part of their visit is designed with their relaxation in mind, from the moment you step through our doors. 

A 3-D dental printer is advanced technology used to create precise dental models, crowns, bridges and other appliances. It builds these items by layering materials based on a digital design. This technology is designed to enhance accuracy, reduce production time and allow for better customisation. Ultimately, our use of the 3-D printer helps us to improve patient outcomes.

Dental monitoring is meant to allow us to continue your orthodontic treatment from home. This advanced technology allows our team to track your treatment's progress using a mobile app or smartphone. Thanks to the AI and 3-D scanning technology included, patients can securely send updates of your teeth to our team.
