Our dental practice in Saint-Louis is equipped with some of the most technologically advanced dental surgery equipment available on the market. This high-end technology allows us to provide dental care and treatments under the best possible conditions.
Your dentist’s instruments
The equipment used during your consultation must be strictly sterilized in order to prevent contamination from fungi, viruses, or bacteria. We therefore pay particularly close attention to every sterilization process.
Your dentist’s instruments fall into two distinct categories:
- Instruments that are decontaminated and sterilized at 132 degrees Celsius using an autoclave. This applies to all reusable elements such as spatulas or tweezers.
- Instruments protected by sealed sterile packaging intended for single use only, including masks, gloves, needles, and similar items.
All sterilization procedures are regularly tested to guarantee their effectiveness and optimal performance.
Traceability of all materials used within the practice is also essential to ensure impeccable hygiene standards. As a result, a traceability certificate is systematically provided when you receive prosthetic or implant treatments.
Likewise, strict monitoring of our dental surgical instruments is ensured through unique labeling assigned to each instrument.
The practice’s equipment
Our practice is equipped with highly advanced radiography systems that help us establish extremely precise diagnoses and accurately plan surgical treatments.
We also use a 3D scanner that allows virtual navigation within your oral cavity. This laboratory-grade device offers unmatched precision and is particularly useful for material milling and the creation of 3D impressions.
Depending on your needs, our radiographic equipment also enables us to perform 2D or panoramic dental X-rays.
Various CAD/CAM technologies are mastered by our dental technicians in order to design dental prostheses directly from a computer, either partially or entirely. These digital designs are then sent to highly advanced manufacturing devices that produce your prosthetic restorations remotely.
The intraoral camera: This highly precise camera highlights plaque accumulation on your teeth through a coloration technique that reveals the bacterial ecosystem. It helps identify areas where brushing should be more thorough, for example.
The optical camera: Today, it is possible to avoid the traditional impression paste formerly used for dental impressions. Instead, we use a camera that digitally records all structures inside your mouth. The collected information is transferred to a computer and transformed into a digital impression model. This is a highly modern and particularly precise method.
These devices allow us to provide treatments with exceptional precision. In endodontics, optical aids and the Zeiss microscope are especially valuable for carrying out highly delicate procedures such as treating complex root anatomies and additional canals, or removing fractured instruments from within root canals.
This device is used by our dental technician within the laboratory. The milling machine enables the highly precise creation of ceramic restorations such as crowns or inlays using patient data collected through radiographs and digital scans.
Our highly advanced equipment allows us to perform computer-assisted surgery. During dental procedures, your dentist can be guided by a system that has previously recorded all the relevant information related to the treatment.
For example, in the case of dental implant placement, all useful information regarding your anatomy and the desired aesthetic outcome is entered into the computer. During the procedure, your dentist’s movements are guided with extreme precision by the system in order to ensure the best possible result.
