Northwood Dental, led by Dr. Brian Klym, is now equipped with the innovative Kodak 9000 3D imaging system, illustrating Northwood Dental’s continuing commitment to quality dental care.

Dr. Klym is the first general dentist in the area to acquire this state-of-the-art equipment, which benefits his patients for many reasons:

Improved Diagnostics

Traverse City Dentist Dr. Klym can now determine a diagnosis more accurately and more quickly, helping to minimize repeat visits, saving patients time and money. “Before I even start, I can see the whole three-dimensional anatomy of the root canal where before I could not.” Dr. Klym said.

Comfort

Tailored specifically for a patient to sit facing outward, the Kodak 9000 allows patients to see their Northwood caregiver as the scans are performed—making it a more comfortable experience. “You stand up in the machine, no confined feeling. It’s a very open room and you can look out a window at a calming natural meadow. The average scan is only 24 seconds.”

Technology

The Kodak 9000 shows high-resolution images, allowing Dr. Klym to perform more informed and precise procedures. “I get a three-dimensional ‘model’ of the bone, and that allows me to see things that I can’t see two dimensionally,” said Dr. Klym. “I can take precise measurements.”

Safety

The Kodak 9000 uses significantly less radiation than many other imaging systems. As Dr. Klym explains, “[Other] medical scanners acquire images that use radiation doses of 40-60 times that of the cone beam that we’re using. Ours is even less than the typical cone beam, so it’s more like other scanners are 80 times more.”
