DIAGNOdent: THE KEY TO PREVENTION
We believe prevention is best.
We believe prevention is best.
We believe prevention is best because it will reduce the need for future reconstructive dental procedures. With this technology we catch decay early. As a result, teeth incur less damage, and more natural tooth structure can be retained.
DIAGNOdent: more accurate than an x-ray this technology helps us find tooth decay and cavities the easy way.
You may not realize it, but even the tiniest spot of tooth decay can mean trouble for your teeth. That’s why we take such care to identify and fill cavities: it’s the key to preventing all kinds of trouble down the road. In the past, traditional detection has required lengthy poking and prodding sessions. Unfortunately, even the best methods are only 50% to 75% successful.
DIAGNOdent is the revolutionary new way to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay. In fact, with this technology, cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye can be detected using a specific wavelength of light. Because of this, we can target and treat all of your problem areas before they turn into larger issues that require more complicated procedures.
The Benefits of DIAGNOdent Laser Technology
DIAGNOdent technology gives us a tool for catching decay with more thoroughness, timeliness, and accuracy. Further, it requires no x-rays, so our staff doesn’t have to spend valuable patient care time in the darkroom. Plus, it’s a relatively simple and comfortable procedure. Not only does it help prevent the spread of decay, but it helps us to treat your teeth more conservatively as well: when we spot decay sooner, the necessary fillings are typically simpler and shallower, preserving more of the tooth. Finally, we can easily and objectively monitor any suspicious areas without repeated x-rays, harm to tissues, or need for protective measures.

We believe prevention is best because it will reduce the need for future reconstructive dental procedures. Our practice has been using this technology for many years, and we find it an incredibly accurate method for diagnosing and detecting tooth decay. When we find it early, teeth incur less damage, and more natural tooth structure can be retained during restoration. DIAGNOdent can also find areas prone to future decay. Now that’s something to smile about!
