When it comes to your oral health and smile, early detection and preventive care are pivotal. Dr. Michael Dyer uses the DIAGNOdent™ laser cavity detection system to provide you with an innovative approach to diagnosing tooth decay, ensuring that cavities are addressed as soon as possible in order to protect your teeth and smile.
The DIAGNOdent system operates on a simple yet effective principle. Utilizing a laser handpiece, our dentist can effortlessly glide the device over your teeth. This process is entirely painless and noninvasive, making it an ideal choice for patients who may feel anxious about dental visits. The device then generates a numeric rating that reflects the health status of each tooth. A higher rating signals potential decay, allowing our dentist to promptly identify and evaluate the affected area.
Benefits of DIAGNOdent cavity detection technology include:
- Early Detection: By identifying decay at an early stage, DIAGNOdent facilitates timely and less invasive treatments, which can significantly improve the outcome for the patient.
- Painless Procedure: The noninvasive nature of the DIAGNOdent examination ensures a more comfortable experience, eliminating the anxiety associated with dental visits.
- Accuracy: With an accuracy rate of 90%, DIAGNOdent provides reliable results, making it a valuable asset in preventive dental care. It can unveil cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye and might go unnoticed in digital X-rays.
- Conservative Treatments: Early detection allows for more conservative treatments, preserving more of the natural tooth structure, reducing discomfort and often resulting in lower treatment costs.
