Microscopic Dentistry
Dental Microscopes at Kshirsagar Dental Clinic
What is microscopic dentistry?
A dental microscope provides a magnified, illuminated view of your mouth, offering precision during treatments. With adjustable magnification and focus, it ensures your dentist works with the highest level of detail.
A bright LED light attached to the scope provides shadow-free illumination of the mouth and various controls allow the dentist to:
- Change the magnification level
- Fine tune the focus
- Turn filters on when performing different procedures
- Take pictures or videos during the procedure for patient education
