About Our Lake Zurich & Barrington Dentist Office Technology

Digital Charting

At our Lake Zurich area dentist office, digital charting has an environmentally considerate and efficient method to organize patient files. All record-keeping is now stored as digital files, which allows for the enormous reduction of paper and office supplies used.

Digital Radiography

Dental x-rays are an indispensable tool in diagnostics and treatment. By using digital technology, our Barrington, Chicago or Lake Zurich patients experience 80% less exposure to radiation. In addition, the image appears instantaneously on a computer monitor, which then expedites treatment and allows the dentist or hygienist to manipulate contrast and visibility. Lastly, the need for developing chemicals and appropriate disposal are no longer needed.

Intra-oral Imaging

Our team philosophy is to co-treat with the patient being actively involved in the decision-making process, to the extent that they feel comfortable. One high-tech instrument that assists our dentist near Lake Zurich is the use of small "pen" cameras. These display an image on a monitor, allowing the patient to see the condition of a tooth or group of teeth first-hand. With this information, the patient will typically understand their dental problem to a greater degree, and how the treatment will help them. It also shows the improvement following their visit to the dentist.

Cosmetic Imaging

Occasionally, with other Barrington and Lake Zurich dentists, patients will undergo cosmetic dentistry without a full and detailed understanding of what their final result will be. At The Chicago Center for Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, you can trust Dr. Jackson with your smile, having seen for yourself an excellent forecast of how your new teeth will look.

This is one of best tools our dentist has to offer, and it is known as digital imaging. By making cosmetic changes to a patient's own picture and saving it to their file, we can better understand your smile preferences and receive feedback about how you would like to look. Our cosmetic dentist for Lake Zurich can communicate the changes being recommended more effectively; whether it is the color, shape, size or position of the teeth.

Lighting

Lighting is an important factor in cosmetic dentistry, that is often overlooked by dentists in the Lake Zurich area. The spectrum, quality, and the position of lighting is vital to creating smiles that appear natural and suit your overall coloring. Our dental operatories are equipped with natural daylight, compact, fluorescent bulbs. In addition, the bulbs use 70% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs, helping to conserve natural resources.

Air Quality

Our dentist considers maintaining a healthy and pleasant environment as a priority. To fulfill this effort, the air within our Lake Zurich area dental office is constantly purified. Additionally, we use an ultraviolet germicidal light. This combination not only reduces volatile organic compounds such as chemical gases and solvents, but it sterilizes bioaerosols such as microorganisms, viruses, molds and bacteria.

Computer Controlled Anesthesia

Our entire team takes your comfort and sensitivity levels seriously. As your Barrington and Lake Zurich area dentist office, we can provide Sedation Dentistry to ease anxiety and provide a pain-free dental visit. In addition to Sedation Dentistry, we have implemented a highly successful computer-controlled aesthetic delivery system known as "The WAND." Numerous patients express their amazement that it's one way we've helped them to have ‘the best visit I ever had.'

This revolutionary dental injection system adjusts the flow of anesthetic to the type and location of tissue being anesthetized, resulting in an injection which is virtually pain-free. Also, the precision of the instrument provides a smaller, localized area of numbness. In this way, Dr. Jackson can ensure our busy Chicago, Barrington and Lake Zurich dental patients can get back to their routine, after their visit to their Lake Zurich area dentist!
