With conventional instruments, it is generally not possible to probe drop-shaped fissures.

DIAGNOdent has the great advantage of detecting caries in the very early stage by measuring the laser fluorescence within the tooth structure.

Cavities can hide in your teeth. It is our goal to help you maintain and improve your oral health.

To achieve this goal, the dental care that you and your family receive in our office always includes state of the art equipment. Among the newest technologies is a small laser instrument called the DIAGNOdent, which scans your teeth for hidden decay.

We can't cure what we can't see! Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out) is a major goal of modern dentistry. The widespread use of fluoride supplements in dental materials, toothpastes and drinking water has made tooth surfaces harder and more resistant to decay.

However, diagnosing cavities beneath the hard surfaces is more challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface enamel and can readily spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface. X-rays and probing with an explorer are limited in detecting sub surface decay, particularly when the cavity is in its early stages.
Fortunately, the new DIAGNOdent is a major breakthrough that allows the dentist to monitor the areas below the hard surfaces. The DIAGNOdent allows the dentist to locate hidden decay, and with the treatment stop the spread of disease before it destroys the tooth from within.

Patient friendly, especially for children. This unique instrument provides instant feedback on the health of the tooth. A pen like probe simply glides over the tooth surfaces constantly checking the health of the tooth. A number scale and an alarm signals the operator when there are signs of hidden decay. The new technology is completely safe and pain free.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We encourage regular dental check-ups, cleanings and home care. Early detection of problems minimize the expenses related to major tooth repair. New technologies take us a giant step forward to helping you achieve the goal of minimally invasive dentistry.
