Technology

At Village Dental Care, our team of qualified professionals offers cutting-edge dental care. To help deliver the best dental care for you, we offer the latest that modern dental technology can deliver.

Digital X-Rays

We have offered digital X-rays since 2000, lowering our patients’ radiation exposure and giving us an ideal way to educate our patients. To help you better understand your oral health, we will show you your X-rays on a high-resolution monitor.

ICAT Cone Beam Tomography

Rather than the usual two-dimensional that conventional radiology offers, we have a machine that shows a 3D view of your jaw. This technology allows us to:

Accurately plan dental treatment to avoid issues that you wouldn’t see on conventional x-rays

Thoroughly identify dental diseases

Dramatically reduce radiation levels

This state-of-the-art technology allows us to provide safe and highly precise care for our patients. Additionally, cone beam radiology allows for the implant placement to be less stressful through guided surgery and the key-hole placement of implants.

The Wand®: Virtually Painless Injections

Many people fear the dentist due to needle-based injections. Rather than this conventional option, Village Dental Care’s computer-assisted anaesthetic delivery system delivers local anaesthetic at a gentle rate. It virtually eliminates any discomfort that is experienced with conventional injections. The precise nature of the device also means we won’t have to use as much anesthetic.
The Wand, also known as STA (Single Tooth Anaesthesia System). It uses a computer to deliver anaesthetics slowly and steadily one tooth at a time, greatly reducing a patient’s discomfort.

Microscopic Dentistry: High-precision Results

With microscopic dentistry, Dr Justin Tan can provide a high level of precision in his dental work. A dental microscope magnifies and reveals what is normally invisible to the human eye. It also offers superior illumination of the oral environment. This allows us to:

Minimise unnecessary tooth destruction

Spot slender fractures in teeth, which can contribute to unexplained sensitivity and pain when chewing

Work more efficiently, reducing your time in the chair and number of appointments

Ensure that the restorations fit snugly

Place dental implants more precisely

Carry out microsurgery with minimal trauma and quicker healing

3D Printing for the following treatments

Surgical Guides

3D printing technology is revolutionising the field of dentistry, particularly in the creation of surgical guides. These guides are precision tools designed to assist dentists in performing complex procedures with unparalleled accuracy. By utilising 3D printing, surgical guides can be custom-made to fit the unique anatomy of each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal results. This technology allows for the precise planning of implant placements, reducing the margin for error and significantly improving the success rates of surgeries. Patients benefit from shorter surgery times, quicker recovery periods, and overall enhanced outcomes.

Night Mouth Guard Splints

Night mouth guard splints are essential devices for individuals suffering from bruxism, a condition characterised by grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep. These custom-made splints are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, providing a protective barrier that prevents damage to the enamel and alleviates jaw pain. By distributing the pressure evenly across the dental arch, night splints help to reduce the stress on your teeth and jaw muscles, promoting better oral health and more restful sleep. Our expertly crafted night mouth guard splints are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Personalised Teeth Bleaching

Achieving a brighter, more radiant smile is easier than ever with our personalised teeth bleaching services. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, our professional bleaching treatments are customised to your unique dental profile, ensuring safe and effective results. Our dentists will assess your teeth and gums to determine the best approach, creating a bleaching solution that is perfectly suited to your needs. This personalised approach minimises sensitivity and maximises whitening, giving you a dazzling smile that you can confidently share with the world. Experience the difference of a tailored treatment that brings out the best in your smile.

Snoring Splints

Snoring can significantly impact the quality of your sleep and that of your loved ones. Our custom-made snoring splints offer an effective solution by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. These splints are designed to fit comfortably and securely, helping to reduce or eliminate snoring. By improving airflow and breathing, snoring splints can enhance the overall quality of your sleep, leading to better rest and improved daytime alertness. Our dental professionals will create a snoring splint that is tailored to your specific needs, providing a non-invasive and highly effective remedy for snoring.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced, natural treatment option that harnesses the body’s own healing abilities to enhance dental procedures and accelerate recovery. PRF is derived from a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate platelets and fibrin into a powerful healing matrix. This matrix is rich in growth factors and proteins that promote tissue regeneration and repair. In dentistry, PRF is used to improve outcomes in procedures such as dental implants, bone grafts, and periodontal surgeries. By enhancing the body’s natural healing response, PRF reduces inflammation, accelerates tissue regeneration, and improves the overall success rates of dental treatments. This innovative approach provides patients with a safer, more efficient healing process, leading to better results and a quicker return to optimal oral health.

Dental Monitoring

Remote dental monitoring allows you to track the progress of your Invisalign treatment without the need for regular in-person check-ups. Using our intuitive Bitesoft app and a Scanbox, you can capture photos of your mouth and teeth and have them assessed by a qualified dental professional. This allows for timely assessments and adjustments to your aligner treatment plan.

Experience the numerous benefits of remote dental monitoring. Enjoy the convenience of fewer in-office visits, saving you time and reducing disruptions to your daily routine.

Our remote monitoring system provides real-time updates, ensuring that your teeth straightening treatment is progressing as planned.

With the ability to communicate with your dental professional remotely, you can address any concerns or questions about your aligners along the way.

Ultrasound Massage Machine

Our ultrasound massage machine is an advanced therapeutic device designed to aid in patient recovery, particularly following extensive dental procedures. Utilising high-frequency sound waves, this machine penetrates deep into the tissues to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It’s especially beneficial for patients who have undergone lengthy treatments such as dental extractions, dental implants, and same-day crown placements. The ultrasound massage helps to enhance blood flow, alleviate discomfort, and expedite the recovery process by promoting the natural healing mechanisms of the body. By incorporating this state-of-the-art technology into our post-treatment care, we ensure a more comfortable and quicker recovery for our patients, leading to better overall treatment outcomes.

Laser Machine

Our cutting-edge laser machine represents the pinnacle of modern dental technology, offering a multitude of benefits for various dental procedures. This versatile tool provides precision and efficiency, making treatments less invasive and more comfortable for patients. Lasers are used in a range of applications, including soft tissue surgeries, gum reshaping and teeth whitening. By targeting specific areas with pinpoint accuracy, the laser machine minimises damage to surrounding tissues, reduces bleeding, and significantly shortens healing times. Patients experience less pain and discomfort during and after procedures, leading to an overall enhanced dental experience. Embracing this advanced technology allows us to deliver superior care and achieve exceptional results in a safe and efficient manner.

The Wand (STA - Single Tooth Anaesthesia)

The Wand, also known as STA (Single Tooth Anaesthesia), is a revolutionary computer-controlled anaesthesia delivery system that enhances patient comfort and precision during dental procedures. Unlike traditional anaesthesia methods, the Wand administers anaesthetic in a slow, controlled manner, ensuring a virtually pain-free experience. Its advanced technology allows for precise targeting of a single tooth, minimising the amount of anaesthetic required and reducing the numbing of surrounding areas. This leads to a quicker recovery and less post-procedure discomfort for patients. The Wand’s ergonomic design and intuitive operation also make it an invaluable tool for dentists, improving the efficiency and accuracy of dental treatments. By incorporating the Wand STA into our practice, we are committed to providing a more comfortable, patient-friendly approach to dental anaesthesia.

CEREC Machine for Same-Day Crowns

The CEREC machine is a state-of-the-art dental technology that allows for the creation and placement of high-quality ceramic crowns in just one visit. This innovative system uses advanced digital imaging and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology to design, mill, and fit crowns with exceptional precision. With the CEREC machine, patients no longer need to endure the inconvenience of multiple appointments or temporary crowns. The process begins with a digital scan of the tooth, followed by the design and milling of the custom crown right in our office. Within a single visit, the crown is ready to be placed, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. This efficient and convenient approach not only saves time but also enhances the overall patient experience, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration in just one day.
