The increasing use of osseo-integrated implants has created a wider demand for radiographic techniques in the pre-surgical and post-operative evaluation of the patient. Correct topographical information is required on the prospective site for planning the implant location. Dr. Gibbs uses Planmeca ProMax digital x-rays that has effective tomography programs which meet these demands. Planmeca Promax combines several imaging modalities into one intelligent X-ray unit.

• Panoramic radiography for general diagnostics of the tooth arch and the jaw.
• Advanced panoramic radiography for specific diagnostics of the tooth arch, the jaw, maxillary sinuses and temporo-mandibular joints.
• Dental tomographic slices for detailed morphologic diagnostics of facial bones.
• Cephalometry for imaging of the skull

Planmeca ProMax offers four tomography systems: linear tomograpphy and true linear tomography for film tomography and digital linear tomography and Transtomography for digital systems.

Planmeca ProMax tomography system produces straight tomographic slices of any part of the maxilla,mandible or temporomandibular joints. The tomograms can be cross-sectional or longitudinal and are adjustable to any specific angle. Adjustable and uniform image thickness of 1, 3, 6, 9, 18, or 36 mm maximizes the diagnostic value and provides excellent details.

Laser-energized water (Hydrokinetics™) gently washes away tooth decay with incredible accuracy. The dental laser can replace the drill in most dental procedures and treatments. The Waterlase Dentist Laser used by Dr. Gibbs does away with the whine of the drill and smell of drilled enamel. Because Dr. Gibbs uses a laser, there is no heat or vibration reducing the dependence on needles and anesthesia.  This comes closer to the ideal in dentistry of “painless!”  The the no-pain, no-drill Waterlase can be used for:

• Root Canals
• Decay Removal
• Cavity Preparation
• Smile Design
• General soft tissue procedures
• General dentistry for enamel and dentin
