Dental Technology and Techniques

Atlantis Dental Roundhouse states that it uses a dental laser instead of the traditional drill when possible. According to its description, the laser allows cavities to be treated quickly and, in many cases, without the need for anaesthesia. When anaesthesia is required, it uses the Vibraject device to reduce the discomfort of the injection. In addition, the clinic takes digital X-rays to minimise radiation exposure and offers oral cancer screening with VELscope to all new patients. Lasers are also used in treatments for gums, oral ulcers, and sensitive teeth.

Invisalign Treatment

The clinic offers Invisalign treatment, a clear alternative to braces for correcting dental alignment problems. The centre notes that this technology has been on the market for two decades and that more than ten million people worldwide have used it. Interested patients can consult with one of the dentists during their visit.

Professional Team

The team of general dentists consists of Dr. Tom Karkanis and Dr. Farid Habibian. Dr. Habibian graduated with honours from the New York University College of Dentistry and completed his residency at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, New York. He is a member of the Canadian Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the British Columbia Dental Association. Dr. Karkanis is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and holds a doctorate in Cell Physiology. He offers cosmetic, laser, and advanced restorative dentistry treatments, including single-visit Cerec crowns, Invisalign clear aligners, and oral sedation. The clinic staff includes a regional manager, an office manager, three registered dental hygienists, a certified dental assistant, and a receptionist.
