Dentistry in the News
Much of what is new in dentistry involves creative use of light. Let us show you how we are using light to benefit you, our patients at Sukoneck & Wilson, P.C.
Microscope Assisted Dentistry
This is our new Global Systems Microscope. We can diagnose and treat your teeth at magnifications that were never dreamed of before, and with the illumination of the noonday sun. This is one of the most spectacular innovations we’ve ever seen in dentistry.
Soprolife Cavity Detection System
X-rays and the dental explorer have long been the tools we use to detect cavities- or their absence!- in our patients’ teeth. Now there is a third method that enhances our ability to detect decay, especially in its early stages. The Soprolife camera painlessly shines a particular wavelength of light into teeth. If it fluoresces green, all is fine. If red, there is a cavity. This is a remarkable diagnostic tool that enables early treatment.
Easyshade Shade Matching Device
The Vita Easyshade device uses light to register the precise shade of your teeth. We can even measure multiple points on a tooth. When restorations are made at an outside dental laboratory, our communication is now enhanced with this advanced color matching technology.
Picasso Dental Soft Tissue Laser
We have adopted this new soft tissue laser into our practice. It has many uses. Did you know that one of them is to stop painful cold sores in their tracks? When used in the first two days, our Picasso laser can make these uncomfortable conditions fade away, often by the very next day.
Identafi 3000
Who else but Sukoneck & Wilson PC would obtain newer, better technology and then charge you less for it?
In 2005 we were one of the first dental offices in the Philadelphia to offer an early detection oral cancer screening called Vizilite. Vizilite allowed us to see possible cancerous lesions up to one year before they could be seen with the naked eye.
We are proud to now offer you the latest and most up-to-date technology in the early detection of oral cancer. Identafi 3000 involves a revolutionary technique, utilizing three unique wavelengths of light. The light is projected through a slightly larger than normal dental mirror. No rinse is required. Oral cancer can be detected with increased efficiency.
EARLY DETECTION means EARLY TREATMENT, which means a CURE rate of over 80%.
It is strongly recommended that an early detection test for oral cancer be done annually for all adults 18 years of age and older.
We're Certified to Save a Life!
CPR certification is required for all dental professionals in order to maintain the license to practice. Every two years, Dr. Sukoneck and Wilson retain the services of the American Red Cross to provide a trainer to certify the entire office. In March this year, the staff participated in the training not only in CPR, but also the treatment for a victim of choking and the use of a defibrillator. Our office has one of the top rated defibrillators on site. We hope to never have to use this training, but if the situation arises, we are prepared.
Here we pose with Jim Spaulding, President of Cardiac Care & Safety Inc.

We have learned from Jim since 1998 and highly recommend his engaging and professional training services.
