Microscope Enhanced Dentistry

Dr. Yun practices general dentistry through a dental operating microscope. A dental microscope is an optical instrument that the dentist looks through to enhance vision during a procedure. A patientʼs teeth and gums can be magnified to various levels, and are directly illuminated by a LED light. This is beneficial as it allows the dentist to visualize details that may not be detectable by the naked eye. As a result, dental treatment can be provided with a high degree of accuracy and precision.

Here is what a dental microscope looks like:
