When you choose Liv Endodontics, you’ll not only benefit from being treated by dental experts who have specifically trained to fix your exact problem, but they’ll also use the best dental technology available here in Livingston and Summit, NJ. From diagnostics to treatment, we’ve spared no expense in order to help our patients enjoy fast relief, comfortable care, and lasting results. The following devices are amazing, and we use them every single day to exceed our patients’ expectations.

EDGEPRO LASER TECHNOLOGY

We are the one of the few endodontic offices in New Jersey that has Edge Pro Laser Technology.

EdgePRO® ensures thorough cleaning, removal of infected tissue, and disinfection by eliminating bacteria, biofilm, and smear layer in the root canal, killing up to 99% of common bacteria. This gives you the confidence that you can expect the best success rate in a Root Canal Therapy at our office.

CBCT (CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY)

Before performing a root canal, we want to make sure we know everything about a patient’s problem tooth as well as their dental health before we recommend any treatment. Our CBCT scanner gives us all the information we need and more by creating a highly-detailed 3D model of a patient’s dentition that reveals much more compared to a regular X-ray. This image allows us to plan a treatment down to the smallest detail, increasing the chances of success significantly while also enabling our team to work efficiently without compromising on quality.

How Much Does a CBCT Scan Cost?

The cost of a CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scan at LIV Endodontics is $250, providing a highly detailed, 3D view of your teeth, bone structure, and surrounding tissues. This advanced imaging technology allows for more precise diagnoses and treatment planning, ensuring the best possible outcome for your dental procedure.

Why a CBCT Scan May Be Necessary:

Accurate Diagnosis: Helps detect hidden infections, fractures, and complex root structures.
Treatment Planning: Essential for complex procedures such as root canals and apicoectomies.
Minimally Invasive Approach: Allows for precise treatment with less guesswork.
Improved Outcomes: Leads to more effective and long-lasting results.

At LIV Endodontics, we prioritize your oral health and use the latest technology to provide exceptional care. While some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost, depending on your provider and benefits, we also offer financing options to make your treatment as affordable as possible.

ZEISS MICROSCOPES

Every treatment room is equipped with ZEISS microscopes, which we use for all of our treatments. This leading manufacturer of all things microscopy features a variety of advanced systems and accessories that makes it excellent for endodontic treatments. Even the most experienced and highly trained Endodontist doesn’t have the ability to view the microscopic bacteria lingering within the inner chamber and roots of a tooth, which is why we don’t take any chances with your health and always use our high-powered microscope.

The Benefits of Digital Radiography in Endodontics

Digital radiography has revolutionized how we approach root canal treatment by providing immediate images that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital imaging uses electronic sensors instead of traditional X-ray film, resulting in significantly less radiation exposure while delivering superior image quality. This technology provides several distinct advantages:

Enhanced Diagnostic Capabilities

Our digital imaging systems capture details that might be missed with conventional techniques. The high-resolution images reveal minute details such as hairline fractures, early infections, and complex root structures that could affect your treatment outcome. This level of detail allows our endodontists to identify problems earlier and create more precise treatment plans tailored to your specific dental anatomy.

Improved contrast and clarity: Digital images can be enhanced to highlight specific areas of concern
Instant image review: Immediate availability eliminates waiting time for film processing
Enhanced communication: We can easily display and explain your condition using large monitor displays

Reduced Radiation Exposure

Your safety is our priority, which is why we’ve invested in digital radiography systems that significantly reduce radiation exposure. Digital imaging requires up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays while providing superior diagnostic information. This makes the diagnostic process safer while still giving us all the information we need to provide excellent care.

3D Imaging for Complex Cases

For particularly challenging cases, we employ advanced 3D imaging technology that complements our CBCT scanner. This technology creates comprehensive three-dimensional models of your entire oral structure, allowing our endodontists to:

Virtual Treatment Planning

Before beginning any procedure, our team uses 3D imaging to create a virtual roadmap of your treatment. This allows for precise planning of access points, identification of canal locations, and anticipation of potential complications before treatment even begins. By virtually “rehearsing” your procedure, we can streamline the actual treatment, making it more efficient and comfortable.

The combination of our digital imaging systems with our ZEISS microscopes and EdgePRO® laser technology creates a comprehensive technological approach that ensures accurate diagnosis and precise treatment. This integrated system allows our team to address even the most challenging endodontic cases with confidence and precision.

Intraoral Cameras and Digital Documentation

Our commitment to technological excellence extends to how we document and share your endodontic treatment. Intraoral cameras provide detailed visual records that enhance both diagnosis and patient education. These small, pen-sized devices capture high-resolution images of your oral structures, allowing our endodontists to examine areas that might otherwise be difficult to visualize.

Visual documentation plays a crucial role in endodontic care by creating a comprehensive record of your treatment journey. This documentation serves multiple purposes, from improving diagnosis to enhancing communication with referring dentists.

Patient Education and Treatment Acceptance

One of the most valuable aspects of our intraoral camera technology is how it transforms patient understanding. By showing you exactly what we see, we eliminate the mystery often associated with root canal treatment. These real-time images allow you to:

Visualize your condition: See exactly what’s happening inside your tooth
Understand treatment recommendations: Grasp why specific procedures are necessary
Track healing progress: Compare before and after images to see improvements

After viewing these images, many patients report feeling more comfortable proceeding with treatment, as they can clearly see the need for intervention. This visual confirmation helps reduce anxiety and builds trust in our recommended treatment plan.

Enhanced Communication with Referring Dentists

Our digital documentation system creates a seamless connection with your general dentist or other specialists involved in your care. High-quality images and detailed treatment records are securely shared with your referring dentist, ensuring continuity of care and allowing for more coordinated treatment planning.

The integration of intraoral cameras with our other advanced technologies creates a comprehensive digital ecosystem that supports superior endodontic care. Each technology—from our EdgePRO® laser to our ZEISS microscopes—works in concert to provide the most precise, comfortable, and successful treatment possible.
