Hands-Free Sterilization Room
Harte Dental's Hands-Free Sterilization Room thoroughly cleans and sterilizes our instruments. Harte Dental continues to go above and beyond standards to maximize the safety of our patients and clinicians.
Surgically Clean Air Machines
In 2020 Harte Dental invested in Surgically Clean Air machines for each treatment room. Utilizing powerful, multi-stage filtration technologies which remove airborne particulates, pathogens and pollutants, it gives you fresh, clean and re-energized air. The HEPA-RX filter removes >99.9% of airborne pathogens* at 300 cfm.

iTero Digital Scanner
With the iTero Digital Scanner, your Harte Dental clinician can take highly accurate digital 3D impressions of your teeth and soft tissues. It aids in caries detection, monitors changes associated with periodontal disease, and can even help with detecting grinding and clenching habits with its all-in-one scan.
Digital X-Rays
Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in a number of ways:
- Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays
- Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair
- Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses
- Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary
- Because no chemicals are needed for developing and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment
Panoramic X-Rays
Our ProOne panoramic x-ray machine provides the dentist with an ear-to-ear two-dimensional view. The panoramic machine consists of a rotating arm that holds the x-ray generator. The x-ray generator then circles around the head in order to create a comprehensive picture of the teeth, upper jaw, lower jaw, and surrounding structures. Digital x-rays produce 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays. Since the digital x-ray is connected to a computer, a clearer and more accurate image is captured.
Panoramic X-rays can be used to:
-
Assess patients with an extreme gag reflex or limited opening.
-
Evaluate the progression of TMJ.
-
Expose cysts and abnormalities.
-
Assess need for orthodontic care.
-
Reveal positioning of wisdom teeth.
-
Expose jawbone fractures.
-
Reveal gum disease and cavities
Intraoral Cameras
What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health!
Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to clearly see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease.
