Allows Dr. Kohler to see tiny hairline cracks, early-stage decay, and other issues often missed by the naked eye or on standard X-rays during routine diagnostic exams .
When dental work is performed without magnification, dentists often rely solely on feel and experience. Even the most skilled hands can’t treat what isn’t visualized with the naked eye, a dental loupe, or X-rays.
At Kohler Dentistry, we believe our patients deserve the highest level of care and superb results. Dr. Craig S. Kohler uses a high-powered dental microscope, just one of the advanced technologies that benefit our patients and set our dental office in Wilmette, IL apart from the rest.
Microscope dentistry involves the use of a powerful dental operating microscope that provides magnification up to 20 times greater than normal vision.
Unlike traditional dental loupes that offer limited magnification, a dental microscope reveals microscopic cracks, hidden decay, and intricate tooth anatomy with exceptional clarity. Microscope technology is integrated into routine and complex dental care at Kohler Dentistry in Wilmette, IL, helping ensure optimal outcomes for every procedure.
Scheduling routine dental care every 6 months helps prevent dental problems before they arise and enhances the ability to maintain optimal oral health and hygiene. By prioritizing preventive care, you can avoid more serious complications down the line, ultimately saving time and money.
In addition to preventive dental care, Dr. Kohler is adept at diagnosing and treating dental conditions such as gum disease, misalignment, and failing restorations. Utilizing advanced techniques and technologies enables early identification of issues and the delivery of timely, cost-effective treatments.
