We make sure to use the latest technology to give you the most accurate treatment recommendations while ensuring you feel completely comfortable during your comprehensive examination.
Our one of the best instrument is DIAGNOdent. It is a small portable device that uses sound pulse and laser to detect caries earlier than traditional methods. DIAGNOdent is a new, state-of-the-art device that dentists use to detect cavities that are hiding in places regular X-rays can’t find. It also helps our dentists to detect early cavity before it becomes too advanced so that we can provide you with more gentle and conservative treatments.
This cutting-edge laser technology is so precise that we can diagnose several dental problems, including caries and periodontal issues. It ensures that your mouth has been thoroughly checked for early signs of cavities to avoid you having to spend more in the future if the cavities progress and expand.
Benefits of DIAGNOdent
- The most impressive benefit of using the DIAGNOdent laser is the earliest possible detection of decay. This allows our dentist to address dental caries as conservatively as possible.
- By receiving regular examinations and utilizing advanced technology, our patients can reduce their costs for dental treatment such as crown placement, root canals, and tooth extractions.
- DIAGNOdent is non-invasive and as pain-free as taking your temperature with a digital thermometer. It even encourages patient interaction because the patient can hold and glide the pen-like tool over the tooth surface and watch as the monitor displays the results.
- DIAGNOdent is safe. It makes use of light and sound energy so there is no fear of x-ray exposure to both patient and staff.
- Teeth are incapable of repairing themselves and this is why damaged and diseased teeth must be treated with restorative and endodontic therapies. DIAGNOdent also helps our team detect enamel loss, which can be addressed with sealants and fluoride treatments.
- DIAGNO diagnoses decay earlier and smaller restorations can be used so that more of the biological tooth’s structure is kept intact.
- DIAGNOdent also saves a patient from pain caused by the unnecessary excavation of a tooth that is suspected to have decay but is actually healthy. Many teeth have staining in the grooves that although suspicious looking, is not decay. Likewise, when decay is immediately detected and treated, patient is spared from toothache and other painful and expensive dental procedures.
