Equipment Chosen for Accuracy, Efficiency, and Comfort
At Kaukauna Family Dentistry, our dental technology is selected with one goal in mind: better outcomes with less discomfort. Every piece of equipment in our office is safe, effective, and well maintained, giving Dr. Hebdon the tools needed to diagnose accurately and treat efficiently while keeping your visit as comfortable as possible.
From the moment you sit in the chair, our technology works behind the scenes to support a faster, more precise visit. Whether it is an X-ray, a routine cleaning, or a root canal, the right equipment means less guesswork, less time in the chair, and more confidence in your treatment plan.
Digital X-Rays
Sharper Images With Significantly Less Radiation
Our digital X-ray technology captures magnified, enhanced images of your teeth and displays them on screen within seconds. This allows Dr. Hebdon to view your teeth and surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy and use that information to plan your treatment precisely.
Compared to traditional film x-rays, digital x-rays require significantly less radiation, making them a safe and effective part of your routine dental care. The instant results also mean less waiting for you and more time for Dr. Hebdon to walk you through what he sees and why it matters for your smile.
Panoramic X-Ray
A Complete View of Your Teeth, Jaw, and Sinuses
Our panoramic x-ray machine rotates around your entire head to capture a 360-degree view of your teeth, sinuses, and jaw structure in a single image. This wider perspective gives Dr. Hebdon a more complete picture than a standard x-ray, supporting more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
This single image is especially useful for spotting issues that a standard x-ray might miss, including impacted teeth, jaw irregularities, and early signs of bone loss. It allows Dr. Hebdon to plan more complex treatment, such as extractions or implant supported restorations, with greater confidence.
Intraoral Camera
See Exactly What We See
Our intraoral camera is about the size and shape of a pen, allowing us to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue from angles that are otherwise hard to see. It is comfortable and easy to use for patients of every age.
A fresh, disposable cover is used with every patient to protect your health and safety. Images captured during your exam can be stored digitally, printed, or deleted after your visit, and are a valuable tool for both diagnosis and patient education, since you can see exactly what Dr. Hebdon sees on screen in real time.
Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaling
Gentler, Faster Periodontal Cleanings
The Cavitron is a handheld device used during periodontal deep cleanings. Rather than relying solely on hand scaling, it uses ultrasonic technology to remove calculus from teeth and gums quickly, gently, and effectively.
Patients typically experience a more comfortable cleaning with less time spent in the chair, since the ultrasonic vibrations break up buildup more efficiently than manual scaling alone. This makes deep cleanings feel faster and less invasive, even for patients who are usually anxious about periodontal treatment.
Rotary Endodontics
A Gentler Approach to Root Canal Therapy
Our rotary endodontic handpiece is designed specifically for root canal therapy, allowing treatment to be completed gently and efficiently. This means a quicker, more comfortable root canal experience compared to older techniques.
The precision of this handpiece allows Dr. Hebdon to clean and shape the root canal more consistently, reducing the time you spend in the chair while helping preserve your natural tooth. Many patients are surprised at how straightforward a root canal can feel with this technology in place.
