In FOCUS With Microscopes

Dental microscopes may be one of the best technologies to hit the modern-day dental office!
They are completely non-invasive to a patient but produce superior results and benefits that a
patient may never even know existed. A dental microscope used by a skilled dentist will help
him/her to see a tooth with a magnification of 10, 25, or 40 times what can be seen with the
naked eye.

The benefits are many:

  • Less tooth is removed in filling preparations because decay can clearly be seen.

  • The margins between the tooth and a new crown can be exact, increasing the longevity of
    the crown.

  • Fillings can be placed with such precision they are nearly impossible to see.

  • Irregularities and cracks in teeth can be seen clearly so they can be quickly addressed.

  • Fillings can be polished to a smoother finish which will help them last longer and feel better.

  • Surgeries can be done with great precision producing superior results.

  • Microscopes can be hooked to a video camera so you can see what the doctor sees!

Dr. Ripplinger has been using a dental microscope since 2007 because the quality of dentistry that goes into your mouth is very important to him.  He knows that the superior results he can produce by using a dental microscope will benefit his patients in years to come.
