Diagnodent (decay detection)
Laser Cavity Detector, Painless & simple procedure. Allows for early cavity detection, which means less invasive treatment. Used on suspicious teeth after careful visual examination & thorough cleaning. Suspicious teeth are teeth that are discolored, stained, or have enamel defects. The tip of the handpiece is placed lightly on the biting surface and swept across the tooth. A tooth surface that produces a high reading indicates decay in the grooves. This is a useful tool because in some cases a low reading can be an early clue for patients to pay special attention to specific teeth.

Safe & Efficient for Children and Adults
A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy that may or may not be visible to the human eye. When laser light comes in contact with tissue it causes a reaction. The beam of light produced by the laser has the ability to remove decay in a very precise manner, thereby allowing your dentist to save as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible. Lasers are used to remove the decayed portion of a tooth and conserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, without the annoying vibration associated with a drill.
