Dental Technology for a
Superior Experience

Dr. Hoeschen, Dr. Watkins, and Dr. Wong are committed to using modern dental technology and keeping on top of the latest advancements.

While the basic, time-honoured tenets of dentistry don’t change and are important to maintain, it’s equally important to stay current with upgrades and innovations in dental technology. That’s how we bring you a superior patient experience.

At Pretoria Bridge Dental – serving Downtown Ottawa, Centretown, The Glebe, Sandy Hill and other Ottawa communities – we are proud to utilize the following technologies listed below.

Here’s Some of the Technology We Use
At Our Ottawa Dental Clinic

Intraoral cameras

These cameras are take incredible digital pictures of the inside of the mouth, which help us take a close look at any problem areas.

Panoramic X-rays

Panoramic X-rays provide a two-dimensional image of the entire mouth from one side to the other. This makes it easy to compare the two sides of the mouth, and gives us a good understanding of the bone structure of your jaw.

Isolite – handsfree suction eliminating up to 90% of dental aerosols

Aerosols are created by high-speed handpieces, ultrasonic scalers, and other instruments. The “spray” not only carries particles of water but also bacteria, viruses, blood, and saliva. When compared to the performance of a rubber dam plus an HVE, or an HVE alone, studies show that the Isolite is more effective in reducing the amount of airborne particles, helping decrease Dentists, DAs, and hygienists exposure to bacteria and airborne pathogens.

Invisalign

Invisalign allows you to get the straight, attractive smile you’ve always wanted — without interfering with your life. The aligners are removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes them extremely convenient. Their clear, nearly-invisible design makes them an ideal choice for adult professionals who want to maintain their image
