Modern Dental Technology Available at Beyond Smiles Dental
Beyond Smiles Dental uses modern dental technology to support accurate assessments and treatment planning. Our team uses these tools across our Perth clinics to assist patient care.
Imaging Tools
OPG and Intra-Oral X-Ray Units
Our Perth clinics use OPG (orthopantomogram) and intraoral X-ray units to capture images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding areas. These tools assist dentists in assessing conditions such as tooth decay and impacted teeth. Imaging is non-invasive and is usually a short procedure, though timing may vary. All equipment is maintained in line with Australian safety standards for calibration and radiation exposure.
Digital Scanning
Digital Oral Scanners
Our clinics use digital oral scanners to record 3D images of teeth and bite patterns. This alternative to traditional dental moulds provides detailed digital records for treatment planning. Scans can be used in treatments such as clear aligners, crowns, and bridges. The process is typically straightforward and allows dentists to review images immediately to assist with patient care.
Sterilisation
Autoclave Sterilisation
All instruments at our clinics are sterilised using autoclaves after each procedure. This steam-based process is designed to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and fungi under controlled conditions. Instruments are cleaned, disinfected, and processed in line with Australian Dental Association (ADA) guidelines. Regular testing, maintenance, and tracking protocols support consistent infection control practices across Beyond Smiles Dental locations.
Surgical Support
Electrosurgery Technology
Electrosurgery is available at our Stirling clinic and may be used in minor soft tissue procedures. This technology makes use of high-frequency electrical currents to assist with cutting or reshaping tissue in a controlled manner. It can be used in treatments such as gum contouring or biopsies, where the dentist will determine suitability. As with any procedure, individual experiences and recovery may vary.
Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation is available at our Kardinya and Forrestdale clinics. It is inhaled through a soft nose mask and may help patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. The effect begins within minutes and generally wears off soon after the procedure. Your dentist will discuss possible benefits and risks before recommending this option. Suitability and response vary between patients.
Whitening Tools
Teeth Whitening Systems
Dentist-supervised teeth whitening options are available at our Perth clinics, including in-chair and take-home systems. These treatments may help reduce surface stains and discolouration. Each patient undergoes an assessment to confirm suitability before starting. Results vary between individuals and depend on enamel condition, lifestyle habits, and tooth shade. Your dentist will explain possible benefits and considerations during your consultation.
