What is the DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection?
DIAGNOdent is a laser cavity detection system that helps our dentist detect cavities at the earliest possible stage. This painless system uses a handpiece that our team members simply pass over your teeth. The laser cavity detection then gives a numeric rating to indicate the health level of the tooth. If a tooth is decayed, the system will alert our team. We are then able to formulate a treatment plan to improve the health of that tooth.
Because the DIAGNOdent can detect tooth decay before it is visible to the naked eye, we are able to treat decay before it becomes more extensive and causes more damage. In fact, it can even detect tooth decay that still lies beneath the tooth surface and may not be detectable with digital X-rays. When decay is treated early, we can turn to more conservative restoration treatments that cause less discomfort, cost less, and preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
The DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection system has been shown to be 90 percent accurate — one of the most accurate cavity-detection systems now available.
