Technology plays an important role in modern dentistry, and at our Bondi Junction dental clinic we use a variety of tools designed to support accurate diagnosis, efficient communication, and patient care. Some of the technology we use includes:
Digital impressions
Instead of traditional impression materials, we use digital scanning technology to capture images of your teeth. This method allows electronic transfer of records to dental laboratories, assists with treatment planning, and provides an alternative for patients who prefer not to use impression paste.
Nitrous oxide sedation
For patients who may feel anxious about treatment, nitrous oxide (sometimes called “happy gas”) is available. It is considered a mild form of sedation and is commonly used in dentistry. Suitability is assessed individually, and Dr Quill will discuss benefits, limitations, and any associated risks before recommending its use.
The Wand® Injections
The Wand® is a computer-assisted system used to deliver local anaesthetic. It regulates the flow rate and temperature of anaesthetic and includes a vibration feature to help distract the nerves during administration. Many patients find this method more tolerable than traditional injections, though experiences can vary.
