Cone-beam CT generates a 3D view and cross-sections of the area of interest, crucial for procedures like root canals as it provides essential pre-treatment information. CBCT scans emit minimal radiation, equivalent to one day of background radiation. The low-risk exposure ensures accurate diagnosis, making CBCT an invaluable tool for precise and safe diagnostics.

Dental operating microscopes enhance the accuracy of endodontic treatment by significantly magnifying the tooth’s interior, aiding in the identification of unhealthy dental pulp. At Elite Endodontics KC, we exclusively use CJ Opiks microscopes to ensure optimal optics for your treatment.

Ultrasonics employ sonic energy to clean debris, remove posts, and prepare roots for root canals and apicoectomies. Featuring smaller tips, these instruments enhance the precision of root canal treatment and microsurgery, delivering superior results for our patients. Additionally, they efficiently activate irrigants, aiding in thorough bacteria elimination. At Elite Endodontics KC, our use of ultrasonic instruments exemplifies our commitment to providing top-notch endodontic treatment without additional charges, distinguishing us from competitors using laser or gentlewave technology.

Bioceramics, designed for medical and dental use, replace hard tissue like dental tissue. They can be bioactive (bonding with living tissue) or bioinert (non-interacting with living tissue). Common in endodontics are silica and calcium phosphate, offering wear resistance and bone bonding for new bone growth. Bioceramic fillers and sealers improve root canal treatment, reducing visits and increasing success rates.
