Technology
Dr Malik has invested in state-of-the-art technology for our Mernda, VIC, dental office that we use to streamline and simplify dental procedures, making them more efficient, comfortable, and stress-free for our patients.
You can learn more here about the technology and equipment you’ll find at Universal Smiles Dental and how it benefits you.
Televisions in Treatment Rooms
Televisions in our treatment rooms allow us to share important aspects of your care, like x-rays or intraoral photos, so you can see and better understand your treatment needs. Having access to pertinent information helps you make the best decisions for your smile.
Learn more about where we use this technology:
Panoramic X-Ray
Panoramic x-rays provide a complete view of your entire mouth, jawbone and jaw joint with one image. This type of x-ray is helpful when planning for wisdom tooth extraction, orthodontic treatment, implant placement surgery and other oral surgeries.
Dr Malik may also recommend this x-ray as a baseline for dental health every three to five years.
Digital Records
Digital records make it simple, safe and convenient for us to capture, store and share pertinent information about your dental care and health history when needed.
Laser Teeth Whitening
In some cases, professional teeth whitening is all that is needed to improve and enhance your smile! Laser teeth whitening in Mernda offers exceptional immediate results, with most patients leaving with teeth that are six to ten shades lighter than when they came in.
This treatment is ideal for patients who need quick results for an upcoming vacation or event.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
X-rays are integral in helping Dr Malik see what’s happening internally with your teeth, bones, and joints. They help him diagnose conditions like tooth decay and gum disease early, making these concerns easier and less costly to treat.
Digital x-rays provide us with instant images that we can share with you so you can make educated treatment choices for your smile and dental health. Digital images are safer for patients and the environment since they emit 90 per cent less radiation than traditional film x-rays, and they require no chemicals for development.
Rotary Endodontics
At Universal Smiles Dental, we strive to make every procedure our patients have with us as comfortable as possible, and root canal treatment is no exception. Rotary endodontic tools allow us to complete root canal treatment in Mernda comfortably, effectively and efficiently.
Flexible nickel-titanium tools reach the canals inside your tooth more comfortably. Since the tools are electric, it allows us to complete the procedure more efficiently. Root canal treatment not only eliminates an uncomfortable tooth infection but also preserves your natural tooth, protecting your smile from tooth loss.
Digital Impressions
Digital impressions help us to streamline dental procedures and make the messy and uncomfortable impressions we took in the past unnecessary since we can now scan a 3-D image of your tooth. We use digital impressions for several different types of procedures, such as creating custom restorations and clear aligners for straightening teeth in a much more comfortable manner for our patients.
Intraoral Camera
If you could see what your dentist sees, wouldn’t it be easier to understand your treatment needs? Now, with the help of our intraoral camera, you can review full-colour pictures of your teeth so you can visualise and understand your treatment needs and make the best decisions for your smile.
This small, pen-sized device fits comfortably into your mouth and captures pictures of your teeth we can immediately share with you on the televisions in our treatment rooms.
