| Sterilization Policies and Controls |
 |
 |
At our clinic, we regard sterility standards at the highest level. We meet or exceed all guidelines set forth by the Ministry of Health (Singapore) as well as the Amercan Dental Association. We employ hospital cleanliness standards and sterilization techniques. We use the top range Melag autoclave unit which satisfies the requirements of the European standard to process instruments effectively. The new pre-vacuumed technology ensures that the instruments are completely sterilised reliably and consistently. All our instruments are protectively vacuumed packaged until required. IOSC has control checks in place to provide a clean, disinfected environment for each patient. Policies are in place to ensure that all rooms and equipment are properly set up and sterilized daily and after each use. We use protective equipment such as latex gloves, masks, eyewear, and lab coats. And when possible, we use disposable items. |

| Digital X Ray |
 |
|
Our digital X Ray system delivers clear, optimally exposed panoramic and cephalometric images in the blink of an eye, allowing fast, accurate diagnoses to be made while eliminating 90% of the radiation exposure required by conventional x rays. Practice workflow is streamlined and communication with patients and colleagues is enhanced. The imaging software makes analysis easier with a number of powerful image-processing capabilities. From contrast and brightness to magnification and full-screen display, a full range of tools is available to help you get the most out of your radiographs. |

| Intraoral Camera |
 |
|
Our operatories are equipped with an intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your dentist’s diagnosis and recommended course of treatment. Instantaneous high-resolution images are sharp and clear with natural color quality. The images are displayed immediately and aids in patient communication when discussing treatment plans. The unit also allows documentation of treatment results through comparison of pre-op/post-op images. Details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations are captured permanently. The patient images are then saved in the office computer to provide a record of treatments, printed as communications to the patient, other specialists, your lab or insurance companies. |

We work with master ceramists, using ceramic technology from Nobel Procera (Sweden) or IPS Empress System (Switzerland) |

IPS Empress (Switzerland) |
|
The Nobel Biocare NobelProcera™ system was developed for manufacturing of individualized dental restorations. Utilizing the latest scanning, CAD/CAM and manufacturing technologies, high accuracy, perfect precision fit is ensured. By combining the NobelProcera™ manufacturing technology with the use of alumina and zirconia ceramics, Nobel Biocare provides individualized, highly esthetic dental solutions backed up by over 20 years’ experience, and an unrivalled 15 years of clinical studies. |
 IPS e.max is a modern and innovative system which covers the entire spectrum of all-ceramic indications ranging from thin veneers to 10-unit bridges. IPS e.max offers impeccable esthetic restorations, which are also characterized by high mechanical strength. Lithium disilicate (LS2), which demonstrates superb esthetic properties, is used to restore single teeth in the anterior and posterior region. The zirconium oxide ceramic IPS e.max , however, is the material of choice for large restorations, for example, posterior bridges, which are exposed to high masticatory forces. With more than 33 million restorations fabricated with the leucite glass-ceramic throughout the world, the system has gained a reputation for producing long-lasting, natural-looking results and maintaining high quality standards. |

| Cone beam CT |
|
|
|
Our clinic utilises Cone beam CT technology in planning dental implant treatment. This state of the art CT scanner provides three dimensional images of a patient’s jaws and allows for pre-surgical virtual surgery resulting in precise implant placement. This dramatically shortens surgical time, thereby reducing post-operative pain and swelling. Radiation exposure from cone-beam CT scanners is also significantly less than from hospital grade CT scanners. |
