DIAGNOdent

Laser Reflection Finds Imperfection—Aids in Correction

Providing the absolute best service to our patients is one of our goals. We have therefore acquired a new, high tech tool that allows us to find cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, even when they are just beginning, and would have been missed by previous detection methods. The DIAGNOdent by KaVo is a small, portable laser unit that can detect these cavities, alert us with an audible signal and provide a numerical readout that provides us with an indication of the cavities depth. The value is that we can stop cavities in their infancy, whereas in the past they would have to be significantly bigger before we could find and treat them. Just like other areas of medicine and dentistry, early detection and treatment is of immeasurable value in preserving your health.
