Microscopic Dentistry
Dr. Tichy is part of the rare 1% of general dentists who use a dental operating microscope for every procedure — the gold standard of dental care.
The Dental Operating Microscope
Dr. Michael Tichy is part of the rare 1% of general dentists who use a microscope for all procedures instead of dental loupes. The benefits of the dental operating microscope are numerous for both the patient and the dentist — it has truly redefined and elevated the standard of care.
The microscope's superior optics allow far greater magnification than the loupes used by most dentists. Multiple magnification settings increase efficiency and give Dr. Tichy the ability to choose the optimal setting for each step.
Its unmatched LED light source, combined with the magnification, reveals what usually cannot — or has never — been seen before. The mouth is a dark place; not anymore.
Using a microscope over loupes allows far more precise and conservative treatment. Seeing better means keeping more healthy tooth when removing decay.
The scope is also unmatched for ergonomics. It allows Dr. Tichy to remain upright, looking straight ahead, while the optics do all the "bending over" — protecting his health so he can care for yours for years to come.
A camera attaches to the microscope and relays a simultaneous video feed to HD TVs mounted on the ceiling and wall for patient viewing and education. During every exam and procedure, the doctor discusses findings and treatment options while you watch above in real time.
