The Northern Edge Advantage
What does “modern” dentistry actually mean? There are different definitions out there with most of them focusing on the specific types of dental technology being utilized. The Northern Edge definition of modern dentistry, however, goes beyond focusing on one single aspect. Sure, modern dentistry means using the most advanced and state-of-the-art dental technology available. But we believe that it shouldn’t end there.
At Northern Edge Dentistry, we have a three-pronged approach to defining “modern dentistry,” which includes (1) utilizing only the most advanced dental technology available in order to create (2) a painless and stress-free dental visit so that (3) our patients can have the most comfortable dental experience possible. That’s our vision for making dentistry “modern.”
Digital & 3D Images
Advanced dental technology is where it starts and in the 21st century, everything is digitized. We only utilize digital x-rays that allow for the clearest images so that our patients get the correct dental diagnosis every time. Along with crystal clear intra-oral cameras, our patients get to see with their own eyes exactly what dental treatment is needed and why.
However, we’re always striving to provide the most advanced dental technology available, which is why we go beyond only using digital x-rays. Our office is equipped with a 3-dimensional digital scanner, allowing our doctor to create 3D virtual models of our patients. These 3D virtual models are crucial for precise dental implant placement and precise placement is the first step in ensuring that your dental implants last a lifetime. Beyond dental implants, 3D virtual models also show whether or not your airway is blocked during sleep. If you often feel sluggish during the day, a blocked airway causing restless nights of sleep may be the reason why. There are many more patient benefits of 3D virtual models, which we would be happy to discuss with any of our patients who are interested.
Fully Equipped Dental Laboratory
The Northern Edge Advantage means that we never stop improving. We believe that our patients deserve the best. That’s why everything we provide to our patients is state-of-the-art, from large 3D scanners all the way down to the smallest pieces of dental equipment. Our dental laboratory is fully equipped with dental supplies and equipment, each hand picked with our patients’ best interests in mind. Included within our laboratory are dental supplies and equipment such as premium anesthetic ensuring a painless dental visit, high-grade whitening gel for patients who want the whitest smile, and heavy-duty sterilization machines which guarantees that every piece of equipment is as if it was brand new. The list of dental supplies and equipment within our dental laboratory is extensive. Our patients can rest assured that each piece of dental equipment is of the highest quality available.
Painless & Comfortable Dental Experience
Every aspect of the Northern Edge Advantage is geared towards one goal: creating the best dental experience possible. Our vision of the best dental experience possible means that we are constantly thinking about how we can make our patients as comfortable as possible. If we were a dental patient, what would we want? First and foremost, we would want painless dental treatment. At Northern Edge Dentistry, we accomplish this goal by utilizing state-of-the-art and advanced dental technology, high-grade dental supplies and equipment, along with our doctor’s focus on a gentle approach. Second, we’d want to be entertained during our appointment, allowing us to think about anything other than being at a dental office. We accomplish this goal by having three TVs in each treatment room, all equipped with Netflix, with one TV on the ceiling so that patients can even watch TV while receiving dental treatment. Finally, as a dental patient, we’d want to be in and out of the dental office as fast as possible. We accomplish this goal by not over-booking our office schedule, which guarantees that waiting times are as minimal as possible. This also allows each patient to get the individualized attention that they deserve. Our staff is also extensively trained on how to ensure fast and streamlined dental appointments for every patient so that patients can be in and out in as little time as possible. We know that patients have busy lives and we want to make sure that we don’t get in the way.
