This means you’re not only left with visibly cleaner teeth but also healthier gums. The Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaler is part of our commitment at Melko Dental to combine advanced technology with patient comfort, ensuring a dental cleaning experience that is both effective and pleasant.

By catching decay early, we can prevent it from evolving into a more serious problem that could result in discomfort and potentially extensive dental work. The use of DIAGNOdent at Melko Dental underscores our commitment to preventative care and to ensuring our patients maintain optimal oral health for the long term.

Panoramic X-rays, also known as Panorex, are an invaluable tool in modern dentistry, providing us with a comprehensive view of your entire mouth, jaw, and even the sinuses. Unlike traditional X-rays that capture only specific sections of the mouth, a panoramic X-ray encapsulates a broad view of your oral structures in one image. This wide-ranging perspective is vital in diagnosing and planning treatments for various dental conditions. It aids in detecting problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, cysts, infections, fractures, and more. By providing a detailed, bird’s-eye view of your oral health, Panorex ensures that nothing is overlooked, and all the necessary information is available to us to make the best possible treatment decisions for you at Melko Dental.
