CAESY Patient Education System
CAESY simply explains your various problems and diagnoses, treatment procedures, and alternatives. It employs great computer color graphics, video, and voice. The information is available in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
DIAGNOdent Caries Detection System
Using laser fluorescence, it can detect caries (cavities) in their earliest stages, before they can be viewed on x-ray. This allows us to treat the lesion earlier and preserve and protect tooth structure.
Digital Intra-oral X-rays
DIGITAL intra-oral x-rays use ScanX phosphor plates. Not only do these reduce radiation to the patient, but they are the most comfortable of any digital intra-oral x-ray system. Many patients who have had digital x-rays taken with other digital sensors find them thick, hard, and uncomfortable. The ScanX films are thin and soft.
We also use a digital panoramic x-ray machine that also allows us to view the entire upper and lower jaws with reduced radiation.
Digital Kodak 1500 intra-oral Cameras
We employ these (both Dr. Correia and hygiene staff) to show you what we see. You can view these images on a large computer screen chair side. This will allow you to understand your problems and options more clearly.
DENCHART Periodontal Software
This voice activated program allows us to digitally record your periodontal pockets. You will view the results on a computer screen chair side, and have a greater understanding of your gum (periodontal) health.
Odyssey Diode Laser
This allows Dr. Correia to remove soft tissue quickly and painlessly when necessary. It dramatically improves the quality of various restorations (crowns, implants, bridges, fillings) where tissue is a problem.
Electronic Claims & Web-based Insurance Information
All insurance claims are filed electronically. This speeds up the processing and will inform us much sooner if there is a problem. We download your insurance information from your carrier's website for each visit. This allows us to inform you of coverage, deductibles, co-pays etc., before you have your treatment done.
TeleVox Patient Confirmation System
This allows us to confirm your appointment using telephone, e-mail, or text. By logging into our website, you can decide how to be confirmed, check balances, pay bills and view upcoming appointments.
LEXICOMP Drug Information Software
We can access your medications and evaluate comprehensive dental drug interactions online. This allows us to insure that your current drugs are compatible with the various local anesthetize we employ. It also allows us to review the oral side-effects of your current medications and their impact on your dental health.
