For over 25 years, we’ve worked closely with doctors to help them maximize the value they see from a dental microscope, including giving customers the best possible experience with high-quality products as well as service. And, as part of our commitment, we’ve collected considerable feedback to help us maintain a high standard of excellence. You’ll see this today with both our product and accessory designs, as well as the training, manuals and articles we produce to help new customers get up and running on their scope as efficiently as possible.

The use of a dental microscope is becoming increasingly common in dentistry, particularly in the field of endodontics. A dental microscope can provide endodontists and dentists with improved visualization and diagnostic capabilities, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better treatment outcomes. However, one of the main concerns for dental professionals considering a dental microscope is the cost. In this article, we will discuss the factors that influence the cost of a dental microscope and whether the investment is worthwhile.

For over 25 years, the AAE (American Association of Endodontists) has been strongly advocating for the use of a dental microscope, otherwise known as DOM (dental operating microscope) or surgical microscope, in dental practices as well as during doctoral study. 

In the mid-1990’s, the incorporation of dental microscopes into treatment began to increase as clinicians took notice of  higher magnification levels and greater illumination that are not possible with dental loupes. Around this time, the AAE (American Association of Endodontists) began strongly advocating for the use of a microscope in dental practices as well as during doctoral study. Our founders – with a long and distinguished history of serving the Otolaryngology market – built on our manufacturing strengths in medical equipment and became the first company to focus on the newly emerging dental microscopy market.

One of the leading reasons doctors add a dental microscope to their practice is for enhanced visibility, giving greater accuracy and precision during diagnosis and treatment planning. Being able to see the finer details of anatomy such as cracks, caries and canals can be the difference between detection/prevention and a small issue becoming a much larger problem for your patient down the road..
