Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Many times, a 3-D image can provide extra information that is critical to appropriate treatment decisions.

This information may be necessary for the following procedures:

    • Endodontic Retreatment
    • Endodontic Surgery
    • Root Canal Therapy

Furthermore, if we find out that a tooth cannot be saved, the 3-D image can be used in planning for an implant.

Medema Endodontics is proud to offer 3D imaging services within the office using the Morita Veraviewpocs 3D R100 system.

Global Operating Microscope

All treatment is completed using an operating microscope. This allows Dr. Medema to work with significant magnification and illumination.

Photographs can also be taken for communication with both patients and referring doctors.
