Advanced Technology

At Dr Mike Holmes Inc we are amazed and excited by the possibilities in dentistry today. Modern cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures have opened up whole new areas of opportunity for patients looking to improve the function and aesthetics of their smiles. As the field continues to evolve, advances in techniques, technology and materials are making possible today what could only be imagined yesterday. We derive immense satisfaction from this continued growth and look forward to sharing these advances with our patients and colleagues.

When you seek care in our office you are assured that the latest and most appropriate technology will be utilized to enhance the quality of your dental care.

Micrsocopes – Zeiss optics ; magnification
“What the eye cannot see the hand cannot treat”
Dentistry is micro-surgery. All dental treatment performed in our facility is done with the use of magnification and microscopes. Using a similar microscope that an opthalmologist uses enables us to provide dentistry which is incredibly accurate and precise. You just can’t fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.

Dental Wellness Dimensions was the first facility in Africa to install and utilize the ultra modern Kodak 9000 cone beam scanner. Cone beam tomography (CBT) is similar to medical CAT scan technology, only more accurate, and images are obtained using a fraction of the radiation required in conventional CAT scans. In fact, the Kodak unit boasts the lowest patient radiation exposure of any machine in the world today!

This technology has become the accepted standard of care in the diagnosis of many pathological conditions and in pre-operative surgical planning. CBT is particularly useful in planning for implant surgery where important anatomical structures such as nerves or the sinuses can be accurately visualised.

Dental x-rays (called radiographs) are invaluable aids in diagnosing , treating and maintaining dental health. Radiation exposure time with digital radiographs is minimal. Radiographs allow us to see much that we cannot see with our eyes, enabling us to detect cavities between teeth, determine supporting bone health and levels, help examine the roots and nerves of teeth and diagnose pathology in the jaws. 

The advantages of home whitening include cost and convenience.  The disadvantage is primarily the wearing of the whitening trays and the results depend on your consistent use of the whitening gel.
