At St Anthony Dental, Dr Li invests in advanced technology to support every stage of your care, from diagnosis through to treatment. Each piece of equipment plays a specific role, helping our team plan treatments carefully and deliver a comfortable experience from start to finish. Explore the sections below to learn more about the technology we use and how it supports your dental health.
CBCT Cone Beam Computed Tomography
At St Anthony Dental, we use advanced 3D imaging to capture a detailed view of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures in a single scan. This gives Dr Li clear, comprehensive information to support thoughtful treatment planning for implants, root canals and orthodontics.
The scan itself takes just moments and produces sharp images without the guesswork of traditional x-rays alone. We're proud to offer this technology as part of our commitment to considered, modern dental care for every patient.
Same-Day Restorations
Dr Li offers same-day restorations using our in-house dental lab and milling unit. Our CAD/CAM technology allows us to design and mill your restoration on-site, so you no longer have to wait weeks for an external dental lab to complete your restoration.
He captures a digital scan of your teeth, designs your restoration with precision software, then mills it in-house while you relax. It's a convenient, modern approach to restorative dentistry, all completed in a single visit.
3D Printer
Dr Li uses advanced 3D printing technology to produce mouthguards, splints, clear aligners, retainers and surgical guides for dental implants. This allows us to design each appliance to your exact measurements and print it in-house, reducing turnaround times and the need for extra appointments. Dr Li takes a digital scan of your mouth, creates a precise design, and then prints your custom appliance on-site. It's an efficient, modern way to support your dental health and comfort.
EMS Airflow Technology
At St Anthony Dental, we use Airflow technology to remove plaque, stains and soft build-up from your teeth and gums. This technique combines air, water and a fine powder to clean surfaces effectively, including areas that traditional scaling can miss.
Our team directs the stream carefully across your teeth, reaching between gaps and along the gumline with ease. It's a comfortable, efficient way to support your oral hygiene and leave your smile feeling fresh after every visit.
Dental Microscopes
Ever wondered how we spot the smallest details during treatment? Dr Li uses dental microscopes to magnify your teeth and gums during procedures such as root canals, fillings, and restorations.
This technology helps him examine fine details with clarity, supporting careful and considered treatment decisions. Bright illumination and precise magnification work together to reveal structures that are difficult to see with the naked eye alone.
Digital Scanning
Dr Li uses digital scanning technology to capture detailed images of your teeth and gums, without the need for traditional putty impressions. He guides a small handheld scanner over your teeth, and the device creates an accurate digital model in minutes.
This approach suits patients who find traditional impressions uncomfortable, and it also supports the planning of crowns, bridges and other restorations. Your dentist will let you know if digital scanning forms part of your treatment plan.
