Technologies at GT Dental Centre

  • Cone Beam 3D Imaging: The information CBCT provides is critical for a number of situations, including placing dental implants, performing a complex root canal or extraction, or searching for the source of pain or infection. Dental cone beam CT emits less radiation and provides a more complete picture than CT and CAT scans.
  • Digital X-Rays: Digital X-rays are one of the most important new advances in our office. We are not only able to reduce your exposure to radiation but also increase our diagnostic proficiency. In addition to increased diagnostics, we reduce the amount of harmful chemicals and other waste materials associated with traditional X-ray technology.
  • Intraoral Camera Technology: An intraoral camera is a small, pen-like device with a camera on the end. The camera contains a bright LED which helps us diagnose cavities or fractures that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The camera is connected to a monitor which allows you to see up close what Dr. Thoms is seeing.
  • The Wand®: The Wand is a digital dental injection tool that makes the numbing process much easier for the patient. Before the needle even touches the injection site, the Wand delivers a small amount of anesthetic. This means you’ll hardly even feel it!
  • Ultrasonics: Ultrasonics are instruments that use sonic energy to clean debris, remove posts, and prepare roots for root canals and apicoectomies. These instruments have smaller tips that allow Dr. Thoms to complete root canal treatment and microsurgery with greater precision, giving patients better results.
  • Velscope: When it comes to oral cancer, early diagnosis is critical. However, not all abnormalities are visible to the naked eye, and that’s where VELscope comes in. VELscope is a light-based detection system that makes it easier to spot problem areas in the mouth and throat.
  • ZEISS Microscope: The Zeiss Surgical microscope enables us to visualize high-contrast, true-colour images – the key to improving the quality of examination and treatment. This also helps us to explain procedures and findings to our patients using the high-definition material we obtain with these microscopes.
