Vizilite Plus
NEWS YOU CAN'T IGNORE:
ONE AMERICAN DIES EVERY HOUR FROM ORAL CANCER |
|
Vizilite Plus helps your dentist identify oral
lesions at their earliest stage of development. Quite simply,
early detection can save lives. When oral cancer is found
early, treatment is 90% successful. That's why Dr. Murphy's office performs an annual Vizilite
Plus exam, in combination with a conventional visual examination.
It takes only 5 minutes and is painless. For more information
on oral cancer Vizilite click on the Vizilite banner or give
our staff a call.
Computer Digital Radiography (CDR)
 |
Digital x-rays
can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image
directly into a computer monitor. This larger image
helps the patient understand the doctor's explanations
more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage
to this new technology is that it reduces the amount
of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster.
The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear
in the monitor. In addition, this new technology is
friendly to the environment since no chemicals are needed
for developing the image. |

to simulate cosmetic and other procedures so you
can see the effect on your smile before we start!
We take digital pictures of your teeth and then
use a sophisticated computer simulation program
to create the projected "after" images.

of your mouth. This allows us to let you see what
we see.
