Dental Instruments

Dentists depend on many different instruments throughout the day to effectively perform their jobs. These tools are vital for a variety of procedures, from routine exams to surgeries. These are the items that will be used routinely, and thus having a sufficient supply organized and ready in every treatment room is important.

What Types of Instruments Are Available for My Practice?

Options include: bite blocks that help keep a patient's mouth and jaw open wide enough during a clinical procedure; bone saws ; crown and bridge removers designed to extract fixed crown and bridge restorations; extraction instruments that gently remove teeth; amalgam carriers ; interproximal reduction instruments that remove tissue between teeth; mirrors that help improve visibility while working in the mouth; and mirror lights that can make mirrors even more effective and easier to use.

What Should I Consider When Selecting Instruments?

Choose instruments that are best for the specific procedure and that will make you more efficient. Reusable instruments should be easy to sterilize, and durable enough to function during repeated use. It’s also important to select instruments that are most comfortable for the patient.
