Technology

Your comfort is highly important to the team at Lower Templestowe Dental Excellence, which is why we provide a relaxing atmosphere throughout our dental clinic. Our comfort technologies include personal televisions in every treatment room so you can enjoy Netflix, Disney+ and Kayo. Relax and enjoy your favourite show or sporting choice with noise-cancelling headphones as we take care of your smile. 

We also offer sedation dentistry, including oral sedation and Penthrox pain relief, because we never want anxiety to prevent you from getting the treatments you need.

This magnificent piece of medical diagnosing equipment is the star of the show when it comes to planning for Orthodontic work, Implants and Extractions. 
A cone beam radiograph is a type of X-ray beam which captures an image by rotating around the patient’s head. A computer then uses this data to produce high resolution, three-dimensional or cross-sectional images of the teeth, upper and lower jaw bone, and surrounding anatomy in a matter of minutes. The images can then be viewed on a computer screen. 
It is quick, non-invasive and delivers precise results which can all be done during your dental appointment. 

When you understand your treatment and are given choices in your care, it takes a lot of the anxiety out of dentistry. Intraoral cameras go a long way toward accomplishing these objectives.

The cameras are small, about the size of an ink pen. However, they capture close images of your teeth and gums. Your Lower Templestowe dentist can then project these images onto a chairside monitor and explain how various treatments can help a specific problem or how a recommended therapy may combat an oral health issue. This technology informs and educates, assisting you to make informed oral health decisions going forward.

Your Lower Templestowe dentist relies on dental x-rays to evaluate your oral health. We use digital x-rays because this technology exposes patients and staff to less radiation than traditional films. 

Digital x-rays are also easy to store electronically and better for the environment because they do not require chemicals or disposal.

Another important benefit is that there is no waiting around for films to be developed. In fact, it takes only a few seconds for clear images to be ready for viewing.  

With the iTero Invisalign Scanner, your journey toward a straight smile is made that much more exciting and even easier than before. 

You may know that Invisalign is a discreet and comfortable orthodontic system made of clear aligners. But we think the iTero makes it all the better. With this technology, you don't have to contend with gooey impression material or moulds of your teeth that may not be as accurate as they could be.

The iTero Invisalign Scanner produces precise digital models for the Invisalign lab in only seconds.

Looking for a Professional Whitening option that doesn't make you sensitive? Hismile, a product which has taken the world by storm could be the answer for you!

Hismile's PAP+ is a Peroxy Carboxylic Acid (PCA) which attacks most molecules that cause discolouration on teeth. It does not irritate the oral soft tissue and does not cause sensitivity the way traditional Hydrogen peroxide does.
The + represents Potassium Citrate to prevent sensitivity from dehydration and Hydroxyapatite which prevents any erosion of the enamel.

So basically taking the chemistry out - Hismile In-office Whitening is perfect for those who suffer from sensitive teeth, have recession or don't like the idea of using a peroxide in their mouth.

Keeping your personal information, including your dental history, stored safely is one of our top priorities at Lower Templestowe Dental Excellence. 

Digital storage also allows us to call up your information quickly, compare past appointments or oral health changes and share information with specialists electronically when needed. And with no paper files, this technology is also better for our environment.  

In surgical applications, the lack of tissue contact and high temperature during laser/tissue interaction reduce wound infection and post-operative pain, while the intrinsic coagulation reduces or eliminates bleeding and reduces pain, tissue shrinkage and scarring during healing.  Lasers can cause deep curing of visible light cured resins, and can enhance the chemical action of endodontic irrigation fluids. The effective and painless removal of caries and preparation of cavities, with no local anaesthesia or vibration, improves productivity and patient acceptance of treatment.
